Make It Your Own
MusicMaster for Windows allows you to customize the look of the program to meet
your personal preferences. From colours and fonts to almost unlimited categories, the
software essentially allows you to build the scheduling system that you've always
dreamed of. It becomes unique to you and how you schedule music. It's easy to learn
because it has the familiar look and feel of other Windows based programs you use
every day.
Everything You Ever Wanted
MusicMaster for Windows is the only music scheduling system that allows you to cus-
tom design what information goes into your database. You can eliminate the fields you
don't use, and add in as many additional fields as you like. We custom design and
build the database to meet your needs for information. Whether it's research scores,
testable values, or just text fields for lyrics you end up with the ability to store and ac-
cess pertinent information easily.
View the Song Card
The Song Card view can be set up separate and distinct from the QuickEditor view.
This means you can have different views for different purposes. Both allow multiple
views as well, so the number of variations you have is limitless.
Have it Your Way
Whether it’s adding Trivia to the database to give your air talent some ideas or track-
ing the Peak Position, Debut Date or Year the song was recorded, we’ll build a data-
base that has all the fields you ever wanted in a scheduling system. Instead of keeping
information in multiple places, now you’ll have it all in one place for easy reference.
Rotating Multiple Copies of the Same Song Made Easy
Whether you’re a classical station or a classic rock station, you might have more than
one version of a title. With packets, you can keep them together to rotate them
through your schedule. A Packet Type option that allows you to dig into the packet
gives you even more flexibility in how MusicMaster will schedule your music.
Clocks Made Easy
Designing and making adjustments to clocks in MusicMaster for Windows is very easy.
You visually see the effects of any change as you make it. You can drag or swap ele-
ments with just a mouse click. Numerous scheduling options are available for each
element, allowing you to give the software even more flexibility to create a better log
and less time editing.
Clocks with Category Usage
Use the Category Usage portion of the clock to determine how you are calling for your
categories in the clock. This is a simple way to make sure you’re getting the clock calls
you want each hour.
Scaleable Rules
MusicMaster for Windows is the only music scheduling system that allows you to de-
fine a rule structure so that the software thinks more like you do. The Goal-Seeking
Technology built into MusicMaster for Windows allows the system to dial in the per-
fect song which can mean better logs, better rotations, and less editing.
Optimum Goal Scheduling
As a programmer, you have goals for the way your radio station sounds. You’ve proba-
bly set up lots of rules to accomplish those goals. What if you could just set the goals
and let MusicMaster do the work? With Optimum Goal Scheduling™, you can do just
that. This exciting new feature allows you to add scheduling goals to each category.
These goals can either work all by themselves or with your rules to select the best
available song that passes the most rules. Instead of scheduling the first song that
meets all of your rules, Optimum Goal Scheduling™ looks at all of the available songs
to find the best ones. With that list of best songs, it then looks at the Scheduler Goals
you’ve selected and determines which one maximizes those goals. The result is the
best available songs in your log.
Schedule Editing Made Easy
The MusicMaster for Windows schedule editor allows you to navigate, make changes
and analyze your log. History grids, rule analysis, coding, highlights and library options
can all be viewed on one page. You can even listen to your schedule for transitions, or
in full length or scoped form!
Information Where You Want It
Because MusicMaster for Windows is 100% windows based you get all the functional-
ity of other programs you use every day. Each window can be floated or docked to a
location that is most comfortable to you. Each user can therefore define the look to
meet their specific style of editing.
Manual-Assist Scheduling
Rather not edit the log after the fact? That’s not a problem if you set up Manual-Assist
Scheduling in MusicMaster. When the program comes to a position it can’t fill, a re-
placement window appears and allows you to interactively select the best song right
away. After you've made your choice, the automatic scheduling session continues.
Powerful Analysis Tools
MusicMaster for Windows provides advanced analysis tools to not only assist you in
the set-up of rotational rules, but also review detailed and customizable history re-
ports quickly and easily.
Analyze Your Library
If you’ve ever wondered why your station sounds too fast or slow or why you play so
many songs by the gentlemen, wonder no more. With Library Analysis, you can see
what coding you have on your data. Now you’ll know how to adjust the library or your
rules to meet your programming goals.
Spin Information With a Few Clicks
Pick your categories and time frame and you’ll have a snapshot of what song played
most often on your station in just a few seconds. With a few adjustments, we can even
show you what songs you aren’t playing too!
Special Reports for Special Needs
Whether you need to file your R&R report, or a report to a government agency, you’ll
find the reports pre-loaded in MusicMaster. All you’ll do is configure your Options
once and from that point forward, you’ll just pick the dates and run your report. There
are no worries about the format or compatibility because we work out all the details
with the organizations so you don’t have to.
Rule Tree Wizard
If deciding what rules to put on your music is not your most favorite thing to do, try
the improved Rule Wizard in the Rule Tree™. From minimum rest, to keyword separa-
tion to coding and even hour rotation, let us do the calculations to maximize the po-
tential of your database. We’ll tell you which rules will be no problem, which rules
should be made harder and which may be too tough. You can pick and choose which
rules you’d like to implement with one click or you can pick the whole list!
Auto-Platoon
Auto-Platoon can make your database sound fresh while maintaining the kinds of rota-
tions you like. How? It moves songs automatically between two categories. The songs
that have been in the category the longest move out and are rested, replaced with
songs that have been out of rotation. You can give your audience that “gee, I haven’t
heard that song in a long time” feeling on a regular basis. You can create as many dif-
ferent platoon jobs as you like, and each can use any two categories, and happen at
any interval that you like. You can even limit the songs that are moved using a filter.
For example, within your Gold category, you can keep the absolute strongest songs in
all the time and rotate the remainder of the category.
