[cma-l] Radio playlist/playout software

[Tom Buckham]

Hi Peter

We use Natural Music which makes use of MP3 tags - http://www.bsiusa.com/software/natmusic/naturalmusic.php

Although we also use ‘MP3 tag’ http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ to output an excel database which we then import back to NM.

Hope that’s a help – NM isn’t free, but it’s a decent programme.

Tom

Hi everyone,

Good to see a good response to Shane's post, and discussion that follows.
I wonder if anyone could help me with recommending a good playlist generation software?

We are using Station Playlist at the moment, but it doesn't use mp3 tags. I would like to find software that works from tags and not folders. I think it's more practical, because a file can have many different tags, eg date, artist, genre, tempo, mood, language, rating, etc.

I'd like to dump Station Playlist and find something more practical. And hopefully for free, or very very cheap. Any recommendations?


Best regards,

Peter Vautier

Hi Shane,

We are using Myriad with delta 1010 sound card - Perfect.

We have just changed from RCS. In our opinion Myriad is a better solution and cheaper than RCS.

In fact I'd recommended Myriad to two stations over RCS I believe they will not be purchasing from RCS and choose Myriad as a consequence.

Hi everyone,

We recently spent a fortune on a bunch of Myriad licenses, and are busy trying to implement them to the station now. Unfortunately, the software’s NOT compatible with any soundcards that work with new computers – ones with PCIE connections. All new computers we’ve found don’t have PCI slots, so we’re having to downgrade our computers to be able to handle the soundcards.

P2 recommend an Edirol soundcard – but it was discontinued by Edirol a year ago! Through talking to their helpline, it seems they’ve not really considered this, and the response was really vague. They don’t appear to be discussing with hardware manufacturers.

We may be stuck having paid so much, but just in case, does anyone know a really good playout system which doesn’t cost the earth and works with contemporary hardware?

Thanks, Shane
