Radiologik Scheduler 1.2.1

Radiologik Scheduler 1.2.1 is an advanced set of two programs that seeks to address the specific needs of radio broadcasting in an accessible and focused way.

Developed first for LPFMs, online streaming radio stations, and school radio stations, it is an evolving project.

With months of continuous service testing, the DJ and the scheduler allow you to have a no worries reliable fully-automated station today.

There are a lot of great pieces of DJ software for the Mac and there are a lot of software titles focused on radio for Windows but there is only one piece of software in serious development focused on the needs of real radio broadcasters on the Mac.

Although Radiologik is not equiped with the overwhelming features/options/complications of some Windows radio software, it does take a unique approach by building on the foundation of iTunes with it's library and playlists and smart playslists and interacts with it in all ways that make sense and in some ways really magnifying that power through exact to-the-second time fitting or date searching. This interaction is bi-directional and ultra-fast compared to any other DJ software. It is seamless and not some token import ability that takes all Megaday.

This release of the Scheduler component of Radiologik is a public development build of the features of Radiologik Scheduler Basic. It is a free complement to Radiologik DJ.

Radiologik Scheduler chooses tracks from playlists in iTunes with a little bit of extra logic to figure out times and artist separation. It builds these segments in 30 or 60 minute blocks anywhere inside of a week schedule. The resolution of the script statements are in seconds.

Playlists, and particularly smart playlists in iTunes, give programming tracks enormous power. Because Radilogik DJ tells iTunes when it plays a track, you can use smart playlists to be sure you are not playing certain songs again for a specified period of time. This can give you a reservoir of tracks that have not played recently but enough tracks to still pick at random, effectively giving a random rotation. You can use many smart playlists for the same segment, giving you the ability to set when to play fast, medium, or slow songs or how often to play tired songs versus new songs that you may want to play more often.

Radiologik Scheduler runs the appropriate script 20 minutes before the start time and sends that set of tracks and directions to Radiologik DJ's program queue.

Major Features:

1. You can use the scheduler to run a 24/7 automated terrestrial or internet station. Basic and Advanced features are the same download and can be switched from the application menu.
2. It uses iTunes as its database utilizing playlists and particularly smart playlists for song selection with its own top logic using a weekly schedule.
3. Radiologik Scheduler Basic is Free with DJ. It supports picks and fills from iTunes playlists with time instructions, artist separation, unique track checking, and best fit exact time searching for top of the hour placement for station IDs or other arbitrary times.
4. Radiologik Scheduler Advanced is a mode for scheduler which further supports voiceover intros and outros for specific tracks or artists, date matching, and time announcements.
5. Either mode, same program, is always available to download and try.
