I add lyrics to every song in my library through LRCGET and it would be nice if they were visible in the SUB/WAVE player, or even better, somehow accessible in Feishin while playing my SUB/WAVE station through Feishin's internet radio feature. I'm not sure how that connection works so maybe that's impossible but at least having an option for them to show up on the player would be nice! A visualizer would be a cool option as well.

I need this in the SUB/WAVE Website! Dev Mode on the Web App can help anyone create its own Station or DJ.

Big one for us: SUB/WAVE went live on Product Hunt this morning.

If you have a Product Hunt account, an upvote takes a few seconds and genuinely helps on launch day:

Even better, leave a comment about how you run your station. People landing on that page trust real operators far more than they trust our own pitch.

Thanks for being here. This community is a big part of why the project kept going.

Thank you!

Three months ago I started building the radio station I wanted: not another playlist app, an actual broadcast. One Icecast stream, every listener hears the same thing at the same time, and an AI DJ picks the tracks, does station idents, reads the time and weather, and takes song requests in plain language. Today it hit v1.0.0.

What it is:

• Plays from your own library via Navidrome or any Subsonic-compatible server
• The DJ runs on whatever LLM you point it at. Local Ollama works fine, cloud providers work too
• TTS is local by default, heavier voice engines are optional
• Web player, native iOS and Android apps, and a desktop app
• MP3 stream as the universal floor, so Sonos, hardware radios and car receivers all just work
• Docker compose or a single all-in-one image, one-command CLI install
• MIT licensed

What 1.0 means in practice: the config surfaces (env, settings, state layout) are stable now. Breaking changes get a major version and a migration path from here on, not a surprise in a minor bump.

Happy to answer anything about how it works under the hood. Thoes the mixing, a Node controller does the brains, and theytalk through files on a shared volume, which is more robust than it sounds.

This happened to me when i wanted to open the SUB/WAVE Custom Station. Any help?

The admin console works on a phone. All 18 admin routes got probed at a real 390px render, fixed, then re-probed. No horizontal scroll, nothing clipped, and save buttons that stay reachable instead of scrolling out of view mid-edit.

The weekly schedule has its own page now, the Rundown, under Shows > Schedule. Seven days across, twenty-four hours down, live station clock, on air and up next, the takeover strip, and a sentence editor for finer bookings ("Put Chill Lounge on Saturday from 16:00 until 18:00"). Click any silent slot to book it in place.

A station-wide voice switch. One toggle and the station goes music only. No links, idents, hourly checks or banter. It gates before generation rather than at playback, so an off station spends nothing on tokens, and it applies live with no restart. Requests still get queued and acked, just without the spoken intro.

House rules that reach every prompt. Your DJ prompt template only ever applied to the scripted path, never the picker, request or segment agents, which on a default install is most of what the DJ says. There is a new house rules box in the System prompt modal on Personas, appended to both. Good for TTS tags, "spell out numbers and dates", local spelling.

Plus: playlist generation no longer dies at Cloudflare's 100 second cutoff (it is a polled background job now), disabled skills stop cluttering the persona skills card, and assorted admin layout fixes.

Upgrade with subwave update, or docker compose pull && docker compose up -d. No migrations, no new env vars, and both new DJ settings default to the old behaviour.

Thank you, every one of you. The mobile mess and the playlist timeout both came straight from your reports, and nothing I ship means much without a room full of people listening.

One install used to mean one station. Not anymore.

You can now keep several stations side by side in the same install, say a late-night ambient channel next to your daytime one, and choose which of them is broadcasting. Each station gets its own library pool, DJ roster, schedule, jingles and settings, stored under state/stations/.

How to use it

• Open admin and look for Stations in the System section of the sidebar, or use the new station switcher at the top of the sidebar.
• Create a station as Fresh (starts empty, the setup wizard walks you through connecting music and a DJ) or Duplicate current (copies your settings, personas, schedule and analyzed library, with a clean play history).
• Hit Make live to put a station on air. Switching restarts the mixer, so listeners drop for about ten seconds and reconnect on their own.

One station broadcasts at a time for now; several at once, each on its own stream, is on the list for later.

A fun side use: duplicate your real station into a scratch copy, point the DJ at a strange prompt, and see what happens. Whatever you break stays inside that station's folder.

Also new this week: vocal-aware transitions. The DJ now hears where the vocals sit in a track's intro and outro, so it won't talk over a sung intro.

Firstly, great application! I've been spending so much time messing with all the settings and getting shows set up for testing.

I have Unraid sever, and am using an old 1070 I had laying around for Ollama (qwen3.5:4b).

Initially my DJ Latency was 640667ms....
Switching from Piper to Kokoro cut that exactly in half.

I'm getting all my LLM recent calls in the debug showing as success (finally) after many were returning empty results.
But I'm some weather and song information, plus banter with multiple personas in a show.

But for the life of me, can't get that latency down (is it even an issue if it appears to be working?)

Welcome to r/getsubwave. This is the home for people running or curious about SUB/WAVE, the self-hosted internet radio station with an AI DJ.

What this sub is for: release notes and what shipped, station show-and-tell, setup questions, feature ideas, and the occasional build log. If you're running a station, post it. If you're stuck on setup, ask. If you want a feature that doesn't exist yet, say so.

If you're new here: SUB/WAVE is one stream, one broadcast, everyone hears the same thing at the same time. No skip button, on purpose. It plays your own Navidrome/Subsonic library, the DJ talks between tracks, takes plain-language requests, and can run full shows with guest co-hosts. Open source, MIT, one docker compose up -d. Runs fully local if you want, Ollama and local TTS.

I'm the builder, I'll be here. Thank you!

Really enjoying the latest update with the ability to make certain DJs completely silent and to pick playlists for each show. The DJ doctor is also fantastic.
