Geek Software of the Week: Linux Edition: Airtime!

Airtime by Sourcefabric, is the Open Source radio station automation package for Linux (specifically with detailed in structions for installing on an Ubuntu box.) I demo it as part of Netcast #200!

Airtime by Sourcefabric Software

“Think Google Calendar for radio stations – move, plan and share shows. Simply drag-and-drop to programme regular or one-off shows and set to repeat if needs be.

Allows station managers to create shows, block-out timeslots and grant access to only those who need it, preventing accidental schedule changes or clashes.

Manage your audio archive, upload files, construct playlists, create shows, edit the Programme Calendar, and cue playout. All through the web.

Airtime now features a pair of standalone JQuery widgets. This lets your website show your visitors what’s currently playing and the upcoming schedule.

We encourage radio stations to keep their heads in the cloud. Full SoundCloud integration means you can automatically record and upload shows and their valuable metadata to SoundCloud, one of the best audio sharing sites on the web.

New, community-requested feature! Record any show and then automatically set a date and time for up to ten rebroadcasts. Goodnight graveyard shift!

Sourcefabric Support can help you set up anything, from solar-powered transmitters, to multiple-station network hubs to the complete integration of your radio station with your website. Talk to us.”
