"There is a stigma that you need to spend two thousand
dollars or more for a broadcast playout system, and with the exception
of StationPlaylist, it is true that most
lower priced systems don't have the capability to handle broadcast
operations - traffic, scheduling, voicetracking, satellite switching
etc.
November (2016) will be three years that SPL has been on our FM. It runs with no issues, has never shut down, and has run continuously around the clock (we have done a maintenance reboot three times). A shutdown of a playout system for a FM broadcaster means a loss of ad dollars. With SPL we have never needed to worry about that!"

"I have just
purchased StationPlaylist Studio so that I can be a party DJ, and it is really
a wonderful product.
All of the key strokes make it one of the easiest programs for the blind
and visually impaired that I have ever worked with, bar none. I will be recommending it to anyone who is interested in broadcasting or being a party DJ. " Jay Dailey |

"CIS-WEB
Radio looked into many playlist software from the highest priced
to shareware and freeware, there isn't one that compares to StationPlaylist
ease of use and have yet to find a problem with reliability. We
use your products for both automation and programming our live
shows. The time saved in programming alone allowed us the
time to branch out into live broadcasts and hit weekends, we are
in less than a year ready to upgrade. We have since
recommended your products to a number of stations

"From my experience as a
professional broadcaster with experience with Arrakis Systems, the fomer
Scott System (now Wide Orbit, I believe) and iMediatouch, the SPL Suite
is tremendous value for the money. I would put this software on the air
at any station, in any market in a heartbeat. Its suite of features
rivals many platforms used in the broadcast industry that can run tens
of thousands of dollars. I also have experience with freeware and have
been burned after spending weeks setting up song cards and other
parameters indigenous to the software, only to have the software fail,
at which point I had to start over, from scratch.
I researched the industry carefully when I was looking
for software to purchase and SPL won hands down, at least for me. Not
only have I not been disappointed, but I am discovering feature sets
that other platforms costing $10K or more, don't do. Improvements are
ongoing and with other platforms well, good luck communicating with the
developer. SPL is outstanding and extremely affordable. Just my two
cents.

"By the way, please allow
me to tell you how pleased we are with StationPlaylist. I've been in
commercial radio here in the states for almost 40 years and I am amazed
at how well SPL runs our station in Russell's Point. StationPlaylist has
made our station sound so professional, people can't tell we're about an
8 person group of volunteers. Listeners favorably compare our
station's sound with that of stations in two large nearby radio markets.
I have been able to set up SPL so that I can literally run the radio station from my home studio 65 miles away adding updated weather, civic, and news information at any time. StationPlaylist can work in virtually any radio station...at a cost far less than one would expect. StationPlaylist really does rival the majority of the so-called "professional radio software" packages sold by the big names. They want 5 figures for their program...you do it all for about $400 bucks. It's a great program and even my colleagues at the commercial stations I work for are impressed...
You can't know how impressed I am with your
product.

After using StationPlaylist products for 15 years, it
was only natural to come back again for our latest project. The tools
included with StationPlaylist were ideal for what we needed to do in
bringing LASER558 back from the dead. Working from only off-air
recordings that were almost 40 years old, we were able to use the superb
voice-tracking features, Song Intro/Outro, Voice Intro/Outro, and the
automation Player Reductions to recreate the legendary pirate radio
station that changed broadcasting in the UK forever. By extracting the
voices of the original DJs 40 years ago, we could use these as voice
tracks to mix in with newer versions of the music to recreate the
station. The Time Announcement feature works especially well with the
old DJs, meaning the station sounds as live now as it did 40 years ago. Steve Bannister, laser558.live, UK/Europe |

"As a 60 yr old veteran
broadcaster (actually on the air 22 yrs) and AM/FM/TV engineer, I've
literally used every automation system that has been invented since the
"carousel" system. Every time I spend a few minutes with StationPlaylist
PRO, I am amazed at how versatile these programs are and how really easy
to use they've become. After experimenting with id/time/temperature
announcements, I've actually gotten great feedback by running them all
back to back on the hour. I'd recommend this product to anyone,
anytime. And, thank-you for the tech support time you've spent with us
on these projects. We haven't really needed very much, but you guys are
always there rather quickly when we ask. Thanks Again.

"Just a
short word as feedback on StationPlaylist Studio and Creator, which we
have been using at full capacity the past month. After months of getting our system and music folders in order, and after several weeks of test runs, we are now using your software as it was intended - and suffice to say, I am VERY impressed. I find Creator easy to use, cleverly designed and well thought out. Our night music have been running without a single glitch (each night now for a week) and playlists for other slots during the day are created and used with equal success. Your software takes a huge burden from any presenter's shoulders as it literally takes the aches and stress out of planning playlists on-the-go. And your software really, really WORKS!
Compliments on creating brilliant,
user-friendly and professional software! I do not want to use anything
else. My best wishes.

"Thank you again for
everything. We have five terrestrial stations powered by
StationPlaylist, with plans to add a sixth by year end, and I
couldn't be happier with
functionality, reliability, and performance. You are amazing.

"First of all, I want to
thank you for creating an excellent product. It is extremely stable.
Basically, we boot the Windows 2008 Server a couple of times a year,
start up a couple of supporting applications, and StationPlaylist just
runs and runs and runs... Secondly, thank you [again] for creating such an intelligent, useful product for our purposes. Even Redmond loves it, apparently, because Radio Newark was made the Editor's Pick by Microsoft last week! Our logo was first on the list at Windows Media Guide. Up there with the Big Boys -- amazing! You were part of that award -- I am very grateful for all that you've done to help the community broadcasting effort. Really, StationPlaylist is a GREAT piece of software. Thanks again for your brilliant products and superb support." Stephen Worden, Station Manager, Radio Newark |

"In my old
job at a big radio station 1995-2001, I worked with the Dalet automation
which cost around $150,000. Studio is now more stable than that
very expensive system ever was!! And I am sure the listeners cannot hear
any difference!

"We are
using a lot of the bells & whistles - including live streams that
we produce from remote locations that are automatically decoded by SP
and put on the air live. When our play-by-play guy gets to the
event, he starts streaming. Then at a certain time (after a song
fades) it joins him at the event. He plays all the commercials and
programming elements on location. After finishing the broadcast he
simply stops the encoder - which tells the automation back at the
station to start playing. All done with no one in the building! We're also using the line input to take satellite programming at certain times and play it as well. SP works perfectly! " Tony St. James, 106.1 Flip FM & Paramount Broadcasting |

"Also wanted to thank you for your
efforts in this program. It is a fine piece of software with great ease

to much enjoyment from this!

"I've been in the PC
hardware/software business for 20 plus years and just wanted to pass
along that StationPlaylist has been the most stable, full featured
software I've dealt with in any area. It is a pleasure to use
and I'm constantly amazed at what a great job it does with the
automation of our station. Not to mention, your support and
follow-up can't be beat! Thanks for a *fantastic* automation system!

"Dear Station Playlist.
I have been involved in setting up the university radio station at the
University of Canberra in Australia. Some members of my team wanted
to use SAM Broadcaster as the station's music scheduler. I researched
radio automation software, and decided to trial both SAM and
StationPlaylist. After extensively testing both products, I have
come to the comfortable conclusion that StationPlaylist is a far superior
product. I am very impressed with its flexibility and the so many
ways you can personalise its functions! Pre-recording shows for UC's
CUE FM will be a breeze, because of Station Playlist's Track Tool and the
Voice Track Overlap functions.
My presenters here find it very easy to use. It's their preference for playing music - they're stopping to use their own CDs! As well as convincing the university to buy StationPlaylist, I actually bought a copy myself, because I really like it. Thank you for creating such a fantastic radio product.

You
know, I told a Virginia station owner the other day that the support
you provide is amazing and unmatched. I bragged on Studio and
Creator to the point where it really sounded like a sales pitch to me,
and that wasn't even my goal. :) Honestly, I don't know how you have
these two products do as much as they do. I am just in awe of your
programming abilities. They are truly a gift to all of us. I
mean, I listen to the playlists that Creator creates, and seriously
think that there's got to be a human somewhere in this process, but
there's just not. I can only imagine how the average listener
must feel.
Anyway, just wanted to mention that to you. I hope others remind you
often about how much you are appreciated for all of your awesome
support and automation software. It would really be a disgrace
to you if this was not done.

"I
want to tell you that, for the price, this is stunningly good software!
:-) I've worked, as an engineer, in broadcasting for about 20 years now
and I've seen a lot of automation. This is a good product and it rivals
in many ways what the big packages do.
" Mark R. Foreman |

"I must
say that I'm absolutely amazed at what this will do - I'm a radio
anorak but a computer idiot, however I managed to have your demo up &
running on Sunday. Your system will enable our new community
radio station to operate unattended whilst I carry on with the day
job. An excellent piece of kit."
Jim Salmon, Chelmsford Calling, Chelmsford, England. |

"BTW I have to tell you.
When I was first looking at automation software I looked at a product that
the broadcast giant Clear Channel uses here in the USA called RCS NexGen.
I had some exposure to it since my show first aired on a Clear Channel
property in Louisville Kentucky. I was told by engineers that is was the
best automation software on the market. I don't know that to be an
accurate statement but I figured if ClearChannel used it, it must be a
good product. In fact ClearChannel ended up buying the software
manufacturer since they have the system in every market LOL.
So I looked at buying NexGen. It was $8000 for the basic package of modules and upgrades from there. When I found SPL I figured "Ok I'll buy this for now and some day grow into a product like NexGen" because I ASSUMED that, based upon price, SPL was a simple entry level product lacking in features.
Now that I've been getting into the software more I
realize that SPL is far from entry level. Its robust, well thought out and
very dependable. In fact I've been streaming with it for well over a year
and never had to reboot the software due to a SPL originated glitch. That
says a lot to me when you think about the windows operating system's
reliability. |

Let me
put my endorsement on this product as well! I have been using StationPlaylist Creator Pro and Studio Pro for several months and it has not failed, locked up, or stopped once! Using Creator Pro, I setup the categories, spots and rotations ONE TIME and now I prepare an entire week's worth of broadcasting in less than 15 minutes without flaw. The Studio Pro software is intuitive and a breeze to operate. Although I have not experienced any problems, I read the support group mail each day and have learned much about the software from the discussions taking place here. The support and user-experience of this software is phenomenal.
Bottom line: the combination of
Creator and Studio has performed exactly as advertised.
Thanks!!!" |

I did
an extensive search for software before deciding on
StationPlaylist and did full evaluations on a few. While
other higher-priced systems can have the edge on certain features,
they generally rely on the station having either full-time
announcers for live or voice-track work and a PD spending his/her
time tweaking the format to the nth degree.
The beauty, in my opinion, of StationPlaylist is the ability to use a combination of a few specific voice-tracks backed up with intros, outros and time-calls that makes the station sound virtually as if it were a full live operation (when automated). No other software, at any price, allows that level of programming so simply.
So, StationPlaylist does a
terrific job for its intended market and as for support .... well,
a couple of days ago I asked support to look at a slight
modification to the outro function with the possibility of adding
it to the "To Do" list at some time in the future. It
wasn't.
Two days later the mod
was sent to me to try and, after a further change to improve
things, I now have it on air. Tell me anywhere else where that
level of support is available, again at any cost."

"I
just wanted to say a word of thanks to the folks who built this
software. I spent months playing with different products and
finally settled on StationPlaylist. The thing just plain works.
I've had no crashes or any other difficulties. The software is
easy to learn and simple to maintain. Rarely do I have this much
praise for any product, but you guys did good. Keep it up! Regards, Don Flowers, Copperhead Radio P.S. This is not a paid endorsement. I'm just in a good mood J " |

"I just wanted to drop you a
quick note to let you know I am now a devoted fan of StationPlaylist.
We're still in the process of building our internet radio station at the
broadcasting school. Since that time, I have become involved with a
Low-Powered community FM station at Russell's Point, Ohio (WRPO).
The station had decided to switch to an "oldies" format, and after trying
to make Web Jockey work with the format for about 2 and a half days, I
realized the program was just not flexible enough to do the job involved
in a high energy CHR sounding "fun" oldies/classic hits station.
So, I took the school's computer up and demonstrated StationPlaylist to him, and it took me about 15 minutes to convince him to buy the program. I went straight home with the radio station's new studio computer, purchased and downloaded StationPlaylist. I already had my music library converted to MP3 and sorted by rotation into separate computer folders, had all of the jingles, sweepers, underwriting announcements, PSA's and ID's in their own folders. It took me a total of, about 90 minutes from the time I downloaded and unlocked the programs to load everything, set up format clocks and spot schedules. I can schedule an entire week of programming in about 20 seconds. We launched the station about a week ago, and what a difference! With StationPlaylist, transitions between events are smooth and professional sounding, live assist and computer operation is simple to learn and to teach. Everyone is impressed with your product. I'd compare the sound that comes out of Station Playlist with any commercial radio station in the U.S.! By the way, the Russell's Point station also operates a 100 Watt Class A station at a nearby High School in Degraff, Ohio. They are going to be looking for funds to switch to StationPlaylist this coming school year. I even had the WRPO computer here in our radio station programming office here in Dayton, Ohio, showed it off to our Operation’s Manager and Chief Engineer... both marvelled at how well your program works. As broadcasters who are used to the 5-figured costs of the so-called "professional" station software programs, seeing a program such as yours that runs as well as it does at the low-cost at which it's offered is truly impressive.

crossfades are nice and tight, and StationPlaylist Creator has made it a

"First
off, as a VETERAN broadcaster I want to tell you just how much this
combination of Creator and Studio has blown me away. I've been in the
"Biz" for...well let's say over 35 years. I was in high school and on
the radio in San Francisco. You get the idea. Oh, played a portion of a program consisting of jingles and music only to a broadcasting friend of mine in Seattle and he said what I thought previously. "I couldn't segue like that!". Take my word, coming from this guy who produced the #1 Top-40 show in San Francisco in the 70's (Dr. Don Rose) is a real quite a statement about your software. I found the perfect settings for the crossfade point. It's a HIT! " Steve Newman, Alabama. |

"I am so happy with
StationPlaylist. Not only is it a great system but support is fantastic.
Any problem I've had has been address right away. I just go to the Yahoo

there. Not just a solution to the problem but options to the solution.
With so many users contributing it couldn't be better. I really never
found a problem with the system it was just me learning how to use it. I
hadn't been in radio since the 70's so it took a while to catch up with
technology. Thanks for a great product.

"I was quite sceptical in moving from OtsAV to
StationPlaylist. After spending a few weeks getting things
prepared (I wanted to go slow), plus with help from fellow SPL users,
I finally went "live" this past Monday - still very sceptical.
Since going live, I am very surprised at how well SPL is functioning,
and my scepticism has now dissipated.
I am
very pleased with the software and wanted to drop a word of thanks for
creating a fabulous piece of software. Kudos to you and your
staff for releasing a top notch program. Again, many thanks!

"I've been using
StationPlaylist for a few months now and I'm so impressed that I just
had to share my thoughts. All I can say is... WOW! The
best thing is that you do not necessarily need to be a broadcaster to
use this software. You can even use it as a DJ! Even when I have
those house parties and want uninterrupted mixed music, just compile a
playlist and Station Studio Playlist will take care of the rest.
I'm so surprised with the results. The output is extremely
professional and there is a smooth crossfade between songs. As a
DJ, I can simply put the software on "Automate" and the music will
flow uninterruptedly until I want it to stop. I can proudly say
that the software has not given me any problems whatsoever. It
never ever stopped, crashed or froze like other software tends to do.
This is simply the best solution for automation software. After
using the 30 day trial of this software, I just had to have it. Well
done guys- This surely is the best software around,ever!!!

"Many Thanks
for the very prompt reply. Just wanted to pay compliment the latest software. Port Stephens FM, the community station I currently provide my services to were initially very dubious about going for something new (having relied on DJ2000 for some years), however - having placed my 'neck on the line' and encouraged them to commit to Studio and Creator Pro they are now hooked. We used an automated playlist to augment live programmes over the festive period and it all worked 'fine and beaut'. Indeed, the output sounds much more refined and professional. Even the doubters have commented favourably. I cannot recommend your product highly enough - hence why I have bought my own version of Studio Pro. Having used software programmes such as 'Genesys' on a large scale ILR station in the UK in the past, I really feel that Studio and Creator combine to provide a far better product overall - particularly at the price! " Many Thanks....Neil White. Port Stephens FM , NSW, Australia. |

"We
have been using your software since 2003 and it is bullet-proof.
We operate three facilities (two AM stations and an internet network
station) using seven computers networked to a Raid 5 array server.
We really put Stationplaylist to the test here! WBDH uses all of the
software options used in Studio and Creator, such as timed
announcements, tons of rotations, full voice tracking of all three
facilities, html transfer, and more. This automation software
keeps right on chuggin' In fact an earlier version of Studio was running
flawlessly for over 5,000 hours before it was shut down for a system
defrag- which it didn't need anyway.
I have seen $30,000 automation systems crash regularly. I have seen the dirt cheap ones do the same. I'll be very honest - I never saw Stationplaylist go down. There's a lot of things over here to be concerned with but the automation system isn't one of them."

"We at
RadioCompany.net would like to thank you at StationPlaylist for all your
help getting our new station on the air with your excellent software. The prompt response with a deep inside knowledge of all aspects of your own products and the 3rd party items have helped us smoothly convert from the software we were using previously.
Our former system took ages to get
detailed information even when we were on the same time zone. It also
did not offer us the flexibility your product offers. Also the
documentation and help files are superb and the practical tips in them
are so useful. |

informing my friends at other Christian stations about this program. Your price is also very low for the quality of the program. I paid three times this much for my last program but it didn't do the job nearly as well as this one. " Dave Arthurs, V6AF 104.1 FM , Pohnpei, Micronesia |

"Hi All.
I've been a user of StationPlaylist Creator for a while, and after
reading all the (discussion group) posts about how great Studio
was, I decided to download the trial version and give it a run. I
am amazed! I've used other automation / streaming products on my
webcast, and I've got to say, Studio is simply awesome. Over the
last year I've used (and paid a lot for) DRS2006 and SAM, and Studio
out performs both of them in ease of use and feature set.
Some of you may know that I work in radio for my "real" job as
an
Operations Manager for 4 radio stations, and we use RCS Selector for
scheduling and Prophet NexGen for playout. In comparing the SPL suite of
software to what I use at work every day, you have developed an
outstanding package. I'll be buying Studio Pro in the next few
days and I can't wait to rebuild my web station with all the new
features that you've incorporated in this release
(v2.0).
Bravo!

to reel days, to the Gates jukebox, to the Shaefer and IGM
systems, to the Instacarts and Carousels, to the early versions
of RDS... etc... and believe me folks,
Studio gives all of us a product
and personal service not matched by ANY of the major vendors.
I've had my share of things in SPL that did not work the way I wanted them to, or thought they should...but guess what... a few mentions to the crew... and new features kept getting added to Studio. Many of us proudly started as alpha testers ... and with each build... Studio just got better. It has been with a feeling of pride that I have watched this product really develop, and I know it will keep on doing that. It will never be all each of us want it to be... but believe me, you'll never get the attention from tech support from most other company's like we get from the creators of our CREATOR AND STUDIO.

systems and when their reps contact me I tell them - I already have the
best system, SPL.

need to comment... I think the StationPlaylist solution to streaming
web radio is the most practical, straightforward and cost-effective
around. I purchased the original DRS-2006 Pro back in 2001 as they
were promising a 'soon to be released' upgrade to Enterprise Version
3.0.... almost seven years later... we are still waiting. I also
purchased the Spacial Audio Sam Broadcaster 4 but found it to be no
better.. and far less user-friendly than StationPlaylist.

"Dear Sirs, First let me say
that you have the GREATEST Automation product on the market! I own
about 4 of the best packages on the market and yours is by far the
most reliable! Not the "prettiest
J
"
but what a powerhouse! The only regret I have is that I
did not find yours first and save all of that money for software that
just sits on the hard drive
J
.
Keep up the great work! Its a GREAT product.

I
am a dedicated broadcaster. I have been in the Radio/DJ business
since 1969. When you consider features, price, ease of use and
reliability, I haven't been able to find anything that can compete
with Stationplaylist Creator and Studio. I started 8 years ago with MegaMix '98. It was one of the first broadcast automation programs. The least expensive version of MegaMix (Standard) now sells for $1,200. To broadcast on the Internet you would need the Enterprise version, which sells for $3,800. That's more than I can afford. Over the years, I had gone through OTS, SAM and DRS2006 before I discovered Stationplaylist Creator & Studio. I have finally found a program that meets ALL my needs AND that I could afford.
Reliability is of the utmost importance
and I have had my Internet radio station running for over 2400 hours
without intervention

"Your software has really helped out my blog in getting
into the world of podcasting, and internet radio, it is incredibly
user friendly and easy to program. We already have our first
advertisers and it has only been a few months thank you!

It's
great when the programmers are so accessible and flexible to software.
I've been an engineer in Australia with Austereo, ARN (TRN in NZ), and
DMG, using Wizard, NexGen, DCS & Maestro, and each has its strengths
and weaknesses, but yours is by far just as flexible, if not more
than those costing $30k per machine. Keep up the good work.

"Thank you, you've been awesome and I'm VERY
pleased with your software. This blows SAM Broadcaster out of the water a billion times over! " DJ Sean, WFTP Radio Network |

I have to say that I have beta tested
for Microsoft...Bryce and Paint Shop Pro....and never have received the
support and the answers to questions like I have seen and received with
you and your products...T/Y for such great service. If only
everyone would take care of their customers the way that you do...Life
would be a lot less stressful.

"I'll also just take this opportunity to
say 'well done' for producing such a
great piece of software. Our station runs on a very tight budget,
and your software has made generating playlists really easy. You
really should congratulate yourselves. StationPlaylist manages to
do everything we need yet still remains very easy to use.
" David Laine, Offshore Music Radio , UK. |

"After using
some of the "big boy" systems over the last 5 years, we needed a good,
reliable and flexible automation system for a new internet radio
venture. After looking at StationPlaylist Studio + Creator, we took the
plunge and haven't looked back. The system has proved very
reliable, the song intro overlap feature is sounding very slick, not to
mention the powerful scheduling and playlist options in Creator.
We also like the fact that Winamp plugins are supported, allowing us to
save money on expensive audio processing! The system is quite happy to
sit there day-in, day-out with little effort on our part. Regards,
" Charlie Davy, UK Online Radio Network, United Kingdom |

"I wanted to make
sure I compliment your product. I have found Studio to be exactly
what I need to broadcast 24 hours a day, fully automated. The
mixes are nice and tight, the interface is concise, and easy to
use in manual mode as well. Combined with Creator, this package
is just as good, and even better than many systems that cost
considerably more. Thank you for making Pirate Radio sound so
good!

I wanted to just send you a quick
message thanking you for developing such an accessible automation
package. Unfortunately, I didn't know about your products 4 years
ago when our reading service purchased AudioVault, or we could've
saved thousands of dollars on software and headache medicine. :)
I
also wanted to thank you for being so willing to answer questions
from new users like myself. In a lot of cases, developers put a
software program out there, and do not take any further interest in
actually considering suggestions from customers, much less answering
all questions about the product. Jonathan Mosen commended you on
these characteristics in his review of Studio, and I couldn't agree
more with him. Finally, thank you for developing a truly accessible
automation software that can be used by blind people.
I really don't know how you put so much in to this product, but I'm glad you did, and considering the accessibility of the software, and the first-class support, the price was truly worth it. Keep up the outstanding work, and I look forward to V3.0. " Jonathan Milam |

"Everything
now is working perfectly! Thank you for all of your help, you
have demonstrated to me that you stand behind your product and if the
opportunity ever comes, I will recommend StationPlaylist to others who
may be interested in internet radio. The station is going online today, two days early. The station sounds so professional, thank you for making such great software. " David Weber, Glorious Gospel Radio |
|
"Also, I
just want to say how great your program is. It's not glossy like some
of the big name automation programs, but it doesn't have to be!
It's simple to use, it is fast and most importantly, it sounds very
professional.

"Last
week, I got a call from one of our listeners who was very concerned. She
said I should get out more and sleep more because I seem to be
announcing at all hours. When I told her that this was in fact due to a
very clever software package, she simply didn't believe me!
But it is in fact all due to StationPlaylist Creator and Studio. It's taken quite an investment of time to record all the time checks for every minute of the day, and then do song intros and outros. But the investment is paying itself back in terms of listener loyalty. And although I run a low power FM station now, I've worked in commercial radio in the past and know that StationPlaylist offers remarkable functionality.
The amazing voice tracking facilities
allow us to do a daily breakfast show, and taking a laptop to a remote
location, we can even do remote broadcasts, uploading the voice tracks
afterwards. It's just terrific. |

"
Thanks
for V3 - absolutely fantastic!
Since commencing our broadcasts with
StationPlaylist we have
seen our audience go up from 17000 to 35000+ and we really feel that
your Creator and Studio software has played a big part in this growth.
It's a breeze for most presenters and the latest changes have made it
unbeatable. In terms of cost/benefit there is nothing to touch
it in my book. AND we're not even using all of the functions.

"Its a very impressive
piece of software that I will promote to any of our students who are
thinking of setting up LPFM stations (always a couple each course!!).
Many Thanks again." James Irwin, NZ Radio Training School, Auckland, New Zealand. |

"Dear
Support. I have been playing with Creator (& Studio) for
about three months now and am starting to get a handle on some of
the mystery and magic of it. Let me share what our listeners
say ... many calls come in and people drop by to tell us what a
great mix we have ... I wish I could take credit for this, but I
can not. Creator does the job all by itself. I only
fiddle with a few of the choices to make sure we don't have Percy
Faith orchestra followed by Twisted Sister ... occurring 10
minutes before the Sunday sermon segment of our broadcasts ... and
I am seeing there are ways to control this in the rotation /
category areas.
So bottom line is, I am really pleased with the
process you have created here. Not only is it easy to work with,
it is a delight because somehow it creates an excellent listening wave
of its own. So carry on StationPlaylist.com ... it is wonderful.
Moreover you make your self available to respond to questions and
problems ...

"OH! MY! GOD! This is simply amazing!
I just upgraded my version of Creator to Pro, and voice tracked a day.
It works without a flaw! (And I'm Voice Tracking from a separate workstation,
across a LAN).
This is the BEST feature EVER added to the software!
My hat is off to you...you have done a FANTASTIC job. Thank you for another great addition to this already amazing software. " Rob Walker, Q105 Radio, Novi, Michigan |

"We are broadcasting to the Diana,

Ears succeeded in becoming the most popular blues online station in

"Thanks for the great assistance. Both
Cherry and I are so happy with the performance of StationPlaylist.
Before buying the software we were constantly at the computer
programming daily songs. Since buying the software the station has been
running 100% of the time in song selection with no problems. You have
released us to focus on many others things. Great software and I will
tell that to anyone in the world. Thanks again.

"For the
'StationPlaylist Creator Pro'
there is only one word: 'great'.
No sorry, there should be two words for describing the program:
'absolutely great'. The software really saves me hours and hours
I spend in the past without StationPlaylist Creator in making
playlists. I had a problem, StationPlaylist.com solved it within
a day. I had a question, it was helpfully answered within hours.

Creator now for nine months. It has been more than beneficial to

been appreciated.
