StationPlaylist Studio description
Low-cost live assist and automation software for radio & Internet broadcasting

Low-cost digital audio on-air broadcast playout software for radio broadcasting and Internet streaming.

Also suitable for in-store automated music systems.

Studio is our on-air broadcast playback software for the studio, providing useful features for assisting the DJ during live shows, and for unattended automation with our StationPlaylist Creator track scheduler.

Any DJ can use this software. An uncluttered screen and large control buttons makes this one of the easiest to use live assist and automation applications available.

Studio takes the work out of managing multiple players. Studio manages and controls multiple players internally for such purposes as automatic voice track / song intro overlapping. Plus an advanced intelligent crossfader means that all tracks mix together perfectly with no human intervention.

Streaming your station on the Internet in multiple codecs is simple using Studio.

Many of Studio's advanced automation features require playlists generated by StationPlaylist Creator, however, it can also read standard M3U playlists generated by other software, and can be used as a DJ jukebox without a scheduler. Tracks may be inserted or dragged & dropped from Windows Explorer and easily played.
