Stumbled across this video, it's a delightful watch. I suggest you put it in fullscreen. If you don't know how to do that, hit play, then mouse over the bottom right corner of the video window and a little square will show up, just click that square. By the way, ZaraRadio isn't mentioned..

Just Barely a Passing Grade
I very much enjoy watching sales videos because my late wife and I used to produce them.
I baled out of this one before it was finished. Maybe I mean that I bailed out. What's the difference between bale and bail?
The girl-woman who delivered the pitch looked maybe mid twenties, her voice sounded like a 5-year old girl who had little idea what the script was about. Her teeth got in the way of her tongue.
This was a rush job from product to product. The phrase "packs a punch" did not answer any of my needs.
When she got to SAM Broadcaster and said that it was Number Two but also was Number One I hit EJECT.
I have no idea what those products actually are. Whoever paid for that video didn't get a useful sales tool.

You didn't stay long enough to find out what the number 1 radio automation program was?
(it's only 2 and half minutes long!)
I liked watching her, but I found it interesting that 3 out of 5 of the top automation programs were freeware - with the #1 being free too.
I shouldn't have called it delightful, didn't mean to hype it up, it's not a production, just a top 5 list. They probably did it in house, spare of the moment at no expense.
--What they said was Sam was the 'top selling' automation program, but only reached number 2 in the list.. see?

Second Hearing
End80 responded: "You didn't stay long enough to find out what the number 1 radio automation program was?
(it's only 2 and half minutes long!)"
As happened once before I may have been hasty.
I will watch it again during a moment when I don't feel rushed.
The whole thing reminds me of car commercials with tremendous women leaning across the hood and hanging around the vehicle as if they were attracted to it hormonally. I can't tell you how many cars I purchased based on such ads. That explains why I'm on the defensive about purchasing too many radio automation systems.

Yeah, it wasn't reviews, just the results of the survey.
You don't have to suffer through it again, here were the results:
5. Play it Live - Free
4. Radio Boss - $119.95
3. Direttore - free
2. Sam Broadcast - $199.00
Winner:
1. RadioDJ - free

Thank You Times 90
Your explanation means a lot because up until now I have been conflating (mixing up) Radio Boss with Radio DJ.
I have heard that it's free. That it's not free.
Now you have informed me Radio Boss and Radio DJ are two different programs.
Thank you for the 91th time.

You know, I bet if Mexicans had voted ZaraRadio would have been #1.
There's like three videos on YouTube about Zara in English, and about 200 of them in Spanish.. and some of them trick you with an English title but the video is Spanish.

Zara is My Thing Right Now
Even though I only like Mexican people and am not one, I have been using Zara for a long time and have no complaints.
I think maybe it was made in Greece, but I don't know. Greece and Spain might be connected, unless they're not.
As everyone knows Spain and Mexico are one place.

Oh.. I have no intention of leaving Zara either..
Spanish is Mexico's official language.
And evidently ZaraRasio is their official automation system. |

It a lot more attractive in appearance than Zara, but it's a heavier resource. I bet Zara would run on a 20 year old computer.
How RadioDJ handle scheduling of incoming streams, and does it automate any time and weather announcements?
Does it have any hiccups after running consistently for a week or anything?
I've briefly toyed with yours and other automations before, just checking them out, but I've always been partial to Zara, probably mostly out of familiarity, but not just that, it just never stops and it's not buggy.

Not to bombard with videos.. but I was mesmerized watching this demonstration of NAUTILUS JUKEBOX Radio Automation.. I'd love to play with something like this, but it must be premium priced because they make no mention of cost on their website, you have to fill out an inquiry form:
