Natural Music
Music Scheduling Software has long-since over-taken manual methods of compiling a daily radio station playlist.
Natural Music is a powerful yet easy-to-use music scheduling program that maintains your music library database, generates daily music program logs according your pre-set rules, and includes interfaces for most radio automation systems (including BSI Simian) at no extra charge.
The cost of the Natural Music Scheduling Software is calculated on a 'buy-out' basis (there are no monthly fees) and 1 year of free telephone support directly with the program authors is included. After that, you purchase support by-the-minute at reasonable rates, as you need it.
