L2MR Cast is a control and live-broadcasting app for authorized radio station owners, administrators, and DJs. Monitor station status and listeners, control the server and AutoDJ, manage playlists and DJ access, and update supported settings. Go Live sends microphone audio, selected phone music, or a mix to the source connection configured for the signed-in station. Live Team lets the radio owner bring assigned DJs and approved listeners backstage or on air, control mute and gain, and send the mixed show to SHOUTcast 1, SHOUTcast 2 ICY compatibility, or Icecast. Current Centova fills authorized source settings automatically; Custom mode supports another authorized endpoint. Safety checks block startup when the server is offline, AutoDJ is active, another source is connected, or required settings are missing. A compatible radio-server control-panel account and permission to use its streaming source are required. L2MR Cast does not create a station or sell hosting.
