### Title: How to Enable AutoDJ in Centova Cast

#### Overview:
AutoDJ allows you to automatically stream music when no live DJ is available. Follow the steps below to enable and configure AutoDJ in Centova Cast.

#### Steps to Enable AutoDJ:

1. **Log in to Centova Cast:**
- Access the Centova Cast control panel using your login credentials.

2. **Stop the Server:**
- In the main menu, stop the server before making any changes.

3. **Enable AutoDJ:**
- Navigate to **Settings** from the side menu.
- Click on the **AutoDJ** tab.
- Enable AutoDJ by checking the relevant option.

4. **Access AutoDJ Menu:**
- Once enabled, a new **AutoDJ** option will appear in the menu. This menu allows you to manage media and playlists for AutoDJ.

5. **Upload Music Files:**
- Click on **Files** under the AutoDJ menu.
- **Best Practice:** Create separate folders based on music genres, such as **Pop**, **Dance**, **Rock**, or **90s**. This helps keep your music organized and easy to manage.
- Upload your music files into these genre-specific folders.

6. **Create and Manage Playlists:**
- Navigate to the **Playlists** section.
- Drag and drop your songs into new playlists. You can create multiple playlists based on your preference.
- **Important:** Do not delete the default playlist that comes with Centova Cast. This default playlist will act as the general 24/7 playlist if no other playlists are scheduled.

7. **Start the Server:**
- After organizing your playlists, start the server. Ensure that at least one playlist is active, as the server will not start without an active playlist, and an error will occur.

#### Important Notes:
- It’s always a good idea to create folders for different genres, making it easier to locate and manage your music files.
- The default playlist must not be deleted, as it is required for general broadcasting. This playlist will play continuously unless a scheduled playlist takes over.

#### Troubleshooting:
- **Error:** If the server doesn’t start, ensure that you have created and activated at least one playlist.
- **Playlist Issues:** Ensure that playlists are correctly set up with songs before trying to start the AutoDJ.
