What is LaraRadio
LaraRadio is a simple yet powerful automation software for radio stations, inspired by the well-known ZaraRadio, originally developed for Windows.
Designed to be lightweight and efficient, LaraRadio allows you to create playlists including music, jingles, and advertisements, with smooth automatic transitions between tracks. Its graphical interface is developed in C++ with Qt, and it uses FFmpeg for decoding, ensuring compatibility with virtually all modern audio formats.
The project was conceived and developed by Carlos Gutierre in 2025 and is independently maintained by the author.
There are no license fees, registrations, subscriptions, or premium features requiring payment. All features are completely free and accessible.
