[cma-l] Radio playout software companies

[Tony Wilding]

Hi Shane paid options:

The first to recommend is Autoplus from Nick at West Country Broadcast 
(just give me a mention).

http://www.westcountrybs.co.uk/index.php

Station Playlist Creator/Studio you will need both for best effort (pro 
versions)

http://www.stationplaylist.com/index.html

mAirList version 4 is in beta but snap up version 3 ready for the 
upgrades. The interface is user configurable.

http://www.mairlist.com/en/

I use both of the above but recommend Autoplus.

For Free:

RadioDJ 1.6 (still buggy)

http://www.radiodj.ro/

The next 2 are harder to come by for free as they evolved into paid 
versions for new users:

Zararadio
Direttorre

Plenty more available but good starting point rather than trying endless 
downloads.

Feel free to get in touch for demos of all options (except Autoplus - 
Nick and Tim are the best to show this off) listed in this email. 
(studio in Warwickshire)

Linux User than only serious option is Rivendell:

Kind Regards Tony
