[cma-l] Playout software

[Richard Berry]

I'd also recommend Myriad as a long time user and trainer. It's  
amazingly intuitive and I can teach a 10 year old how to use it in  
about 10 minutes. It's that easy. The fact it will let you automate  
from a schedule, a user built playlist or manually makes it very  
flexible and the more you dig into it the more toys it has. It also  
comes with free schedulers for music and promos/ads, which is very  
useful! As Ian says it's not cheap but then what you get is both  
impressive and fully functional and can grow as the station grows.
