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.
