RadioTEDU is a student-led media lab building broadcast infrastructure, open-source software, artificial intelligence, interactive campus products and next-generation listening experiences.
Our technologies
Every project answers a real need: to focus, discover, vote, work together or carry radio to every screen.
Focus
A focus-first listening experience that brings Lo-Fi, Jazz and Classical streams together with a Pomodoro timer, nature sounds and a calm interface.
Autonomous AI radio
rtAI uses live track data, station identity and broadcast context to build an autonomous radio flow. Open-source and local models turn AI from a showcase into real broadcast infrastructure. Between songs, an AI host considers the current track, what comes next and the station tone to create natural announcements.
Local AI voice studio
RTAI Jingle turns your script into natural narration with local QwenTTS, balances music automatically beneath the voice and produces broadcast-ready jingles. It works without an account, telemetry or a cloud narration service.
Study virtual campus
Study is an interactive virtual campus where students meet through avatars in spaces such as the library and Campus Lawn, work together and make their progress visible.
Live voting
The live Voting system connects candidate tracks to the broadcast flow and collects votes in real time. When the countdown ends, the community choice becomes the next song on air.
Mobilee app
Live channels, podcasts, rtAI, Voting, Study, games, profiles and the Gold system come together in one mobile experience. Background playback and system media controls make radio a natural part of the day.
Jukebox
The QR-enabled Jukebox lets students join the music flow around campus. Requests, queues and device management bring physical spaces and digital broadcast infrastructure into one system.
RTSAS · Icecast / SHOUTcast server
RTSAS is RadioTEDU's open-source Icecast and SHOUTcast compatible stream server. It accepts live sources on mount points, exposes Icecast 2 compatible status APIs and carries ICY metadata to listeners. Radio scheduling and playout belong to RadioTEDU OnAir, not RTSAS.
RadioTEDU OnAir · Broadcast automation
RadioTEDU-OnAir-New is the separate playout and broadcast automation application. Its runtime prepares HE-AAC and FLAC outputs for Icecast and an HLS-ready delivery path, then sends the programmed broadcast to the server layer.
Broadcast encoding
RadioTEDU streams high-efficiency audio encoded with an internally compiled, non-distributed build of FFmpeg using Fraunhofer HE-AAC v2 for efficient bitrate, AAC-LC for listening experience, with Classic and Jazz streams also available in master-quality lossless FLAC. See our technology page for more.
HE-AAC v2 prioritises efficient delivery for constrained-bitrate quality profiles. AAC-LC is used where a profile can allocate more bandwidth to stereo detail and listening continuity, while the Classic and Jazz FLAC options preserve the lossless master signal.
Event ticketing
RadioTEDU Ticket brings event listings, capacity tracking, attendee registration and QR-assisted admission control into one clear operations screen.
Staff management
RadioTEDU Hub is an ERP system that connects staff and membership lifecycles with daily operations. It brings internal processes—from applications and team coordination to tasks and physical resource use—into one panel.
Volunteer audio library project
Audio Library is a collaborative production space where volunteers record books in the browser, edit them chapter by chapter, run quality control and submit them for approval. Its goal is to build an accessible audiobook collection for children with visual impairments.

Why it matters
RadioTEDU students work with real-world media infrastructure, software development, product design, artificial intelligence and community technologies.
The result is more than broadcasting: working products that shape campus life, grow open-source culture and become part of a student portfolio.
