Available Packages:

  • Player101 Core License Package - Runs a single station in Automated or Live Assist modes. The core license is required on all Player101 workstations, and includes the ability to create/execute logs, build basic audio element production, generate "day of the week" clock templates, and backup/load audio utilities. All other modules can be added to the core license to create multiple workstation configurations.
  • Live Control Package - Useful for high energy morning shows. Create and play pages of audio elements outside of the log for random access or auto-play. Send artist/title information and replace note cards with pop-up electronic text. Includes: Electronic Copy module, Cart Deck module, Button Bar module and RDS Export module.
  • Single-Source Satellite Package - Enables your station to run in satellite mode and automatically record satellite feeds, with automatic switching (on/off) of satellite sources. This will allow local spot insertion and time/temperature announcements using your staff voices. Includes: Satellite Mode module, Time/Temperature Announce module, DRR Automated Capture module and GPI module. *With any DRR functionality you will need direct connection to the sound card.
  • VoiceTRAC Package - Record breaks, intros and outros for when you can't be live, but still want to sound like it. Includes: Basic VoiceTRAC module, Enhanced Production module for third-party audio editors, CD Extractor/Audio Format Converter and the Graphic VoiceTRAC Upgrade module for graphically based voice tracking and quick segue reviewing.


Available Modules:

  • Archive - Enables you to archive songs and spots for later use in the system.
  • Basic VoiceTRAC - Record liners, breaks and intros for an entire shift. Hear the voice track exactly the way it will sound on the air.
  • Button Bar - At your fingertips: bits, jingles, songs, liners... Any audio can be stored on the Button Bar for easy access during board shifts. Store 3,600 cuts per Button Bar page.
  • Cart Chunk - The Player101 Cart Chunk Audio File Load Module enables you to import audio material that contains standard Cart Chunk metadata. This module is useful for importing content created from various external sources supporting the Cart Chunk standard, such as NPR's PRSS ContentDepot®.
  • Cart Deck - Allows you to stack and play audio elements without scheduling them into the log. Play each audio cut one at a time, or put the deck into auto play mode. In auto play mode all the elements will play one after the other, complete with cross-fades. This module is particularly useful for news cuts or stacking contest elements.
  • CDX/AFC - Extract a perfect digital copy of an original CD track (in a fraction of real time) and preserve each song in its original crystal-clear state with built-in normalization. Convert your files into PCM, and MPEG 1 layer 2.
  • DRR Capture - Automated recording from satellite or other audio sources.
  • Electronic Copy - Enables Copy and Memos in Production. Use Memos to insert text into the log for easy on-air reading or reference. Use the Copy system to create text for production at a later date.
  • Enhanced Production - Enhanced Production Module enables the integration of third-party audio editors.
  • GPI - Contact closures based control of the Player101 workstation (input only).
  • Graphic VoiceTRAC - Adds additional functionality to VoiceTRAC, including graphically based voice tracking, quick segue review and editing.
  • Multi-User Access - Create multiple users with password protected interface. Each user can configure preferences to suit their needs and tastes.
  • RDS Export - Receive artist name, title, and other information by exporting data out of the serial port over an RDS receiver or internet stream. Player101 interfaces directly to Live365 and Shoutcast, enabling your Internet Radio station to push new artist and title information automatically.
  • Player101 basic scheduler is our integrated music scheduler that schedules a 24 hour log automatically when logs are created. This is done by using categories you set up when importing your audio. Manual scheduling abilities enable you to exchange a previously played song with a new one by using the title and artist separation.
  • Time And Temperature - Automatically plays back the current outside temperature (requires additional hardware) and the time in your staff's voices. Commands can be inserted either as a log command or as a substitute for a satellite liner call.
  • Traffic And Music Load - Load logs from most third party music and traffic schedulers into the system.
  • Transfer - Share resources using FTP transfer between sites and local workstations. Applications include voice track, spot and log transfers. These features allow you to include weather, news, music and practically any other form of audio or text files. Grasp the ability to WANcast to NexGen Digital systems. Monthly hosting services are available.
