MUSIC SCHEDULING - PLEASE HELP

J

joshzz

As I mentioned in a previous post we are debating which of these five to choose from.

If you could choose any of the following which would you choose first, second, third and fourth, etc. This will give us a better perspective on how you rate these systems and ultimately will help in our decision making.
Also if I'm missing any music scheduler please feel free to mention them. We plan to use it to schedule all our events not just music, if possible.

Music Master (cost approx $ 3,500 for buy-out or $200 per month lease), Natural Music ($ 700 buy-out), Selector G ($ 70 per month-lease only), Selector SQL w/ linker ($ 70 per month-lease only) , Power Gold ($100 month)

Thanks for your help . I threw in mention of pricing for anyone else looking for a music scheduler.

What is the intended purpose? Internet stream? Classical? NPR? Tight listed current station or library based? Will there be lots of library changes? Clock changes? Natural Music might fit you best.

Get demos of all of them and see what YOU think.

Personally? I'd either use DOS Selector or MusicMaster for Windows.

These are great people, setup support, while not really needed, is great. If you want ongoing support, I believe it is $150 per year, although we don't need the support. The system output is easily configured to match ANY automation, and commercial / music log merge is built in.
 
I should have mentioned that we are predominantly a music station but nights and SUnday we offer talk programming.

Our goal is to set up a schedule and have our voice trackers communicate with the main system using gotomypc.com.

We will schedule the day then they will go in the system, look at the schedule, see what song is scheduled to precede and follow the their voice, they will then record the intro, etc. and add their personal comments.


For instance, we will set up the schedule and each of their on-air spots will have a specific generic number that will be the same every week. They look at the schedule (using gotomypc), record their spots and upload them in same directory they loaded them last week. Then we're good to go .. at least I hope so as I have no familiarity with music scheduling and can only hope I can accomplish this.

I would also suggest adding Music 1 to that list. We used the LE version, which is good for small-market/college stations, and there is also a fuller version that is a step up from the LE version. Lifetime tech support and they are super-fast. Solid program that is better on the whole than many of the lesser-known schedulers out there. www.gomusic1.com
