Digilink VS Station Playlist
- Thread starter spacetrucker

Do not ever buy anything made by Arrakis.
Station Playlist is a good program for the money.
If you are running a commercial operation, I would go for Audiovault or NexGen as my top two... On a budget, Simian works great as long as you use the recommended ASI audio cards.

I authored the StationPlaylist review in Radio World and have been using the program for years as well as having installed it in other places other than my studio. It's certainly got a bang for the buck and have been quite happy with performance and support.
I have to echo ChrisCollins as far as Arrakis. I had less than stellar luck with Arrakis consoles and one facility I know sent back a digital console within the last year and for what he spent on repairs he could have replaced it with a nice, reliable analog console. Also, unless it's changed I think Digilink is a leased program so if you drop a payment by accident they could disable the system - do you really want somebody else to have the keys to your kingdom?

Good question, Bill. Why would any outside clear channel use an RCS product?

Actually you can "buy out" Digilink if you wish ($6500) I believe.. however for that I would look at another system such as Nexgen, iMedia touch, simian etc.
Station Playlist is the answer to your question...but we are a high school station running NexGen's Player 101. Well worth the money for the reliability, networking capability and service.

We are using Station playlist at our facility. For the price, it works great. For the novice, you can set it and forget it and it will sound great. For those who have automation experience you make can make it sound just as good as a $15000 set up.
Has own music log
imports professional traffic programs
remote voice tracking
Satellite capability
takes on line requests.
Nuff said
and support is second to none. SP monitors the discussion boards (the annual fee for support is very reasonable and you get updates) and the community of users is always there to help. A+++
The programmer also listens to users and makes any reasonable changes or additions during updates.
