What are broadcasters saying about PlayIt Live?

It's free! Though I have bought some plugins that are very well priced. It's easy to use and works well.
April 2026
I still do the occasional disco … Your Decks Mode on a Dark Theme is brilliant for this! ... I have used it back in 2017 for a 3 day internet station & it was very good. If I ever do another similar station then I would definitely use PlayIt Live. Compared to another system I used many years ago, I found it easy to understand & set up, & reliable. Obviously the free download is much appreciated, & I recall making a donation or purchasing a plugin at some time in the past... I will definitely do the same again!
April 2026
I like the remote studio capability, which pulled me from Playoutone Std. Very reliable, clock scheduler works much better than PO1. Better support. Easier integration with live multiple remote DJ's.
January 2026
I love the way it works and feel confident on programming.
June 2025
Easy to use and features like utility commands for ftp download. PowerShell script is also very useful.
July 2025
I like the [Remote Studio] option where all the audio lives on a single machine that all presenters can access securely. Live shows are simple for the presenters and voice tracking works well. Suits our purposes perfectly. Really well thought out software and the documentation is clear and thorough. Thanks :-)
March 2026
Easy to use, easy and quick to program.
December 2025
On a beginner's level it'll allow you to easily set up a station and get it on air. That doesn't belie the fact that it's very sophisticated and allows subtle and sophisticated output.
September 2025
Great to have software packed with so many features at an equally amazing price point. Reliable and easy to use whilst retaining a lot of professional features helpful for making professional sounding shows.
August 2025
Its simplicity and reliability are strong features. ... Without hesitation, I have, and will continue to, raise awareness of PiL to others.
September 2025
Easy to use, professional and feature rich.
September 2025
Even the most basic (free) version has powerful music scheduling and playback features; the online documentation is second-to-none (even some very expensive automation systems lack the level of documentation PlayIt Live offers!).
