[BC] CD Players vs. Hard Drive Storage and Automation

[Steve Newman]

I'm using (and have beta tested) StationPlaylist which used to use Winamp as 
its engines. The author(s) wrote their own engines and still allowed for the 
use of DSP plugins. I just put a format on the air using the latest version 
of the software and it sounds GREAT. I test it here on my network. There are 
NO...I said NO...EOM messages. You can set a default crossover/segue point 
and the software uses level and waveform analysis to make some of the most 
incredible segues I've heard. I remember saying "I couldn't segue that 
well". It's written in New Zealand and the cost of the Creator (the music 
programming module) and Studio ( the playout module) is about a little over 
$300 American. A yearly fee of $46 bucks and you get the upgrades and 
support. The guy has done a great job. The new version had some bugs at 
first but now it runs very well. Oh, it uses only ONE soundcard. Many 
automation systems use multiple sound cards. Anyway a plug for Ross Levis' 
StationPlaylist. Nice stuff.
