Hello everybody

For the last couple of weeks I have been working with the developers of a software 
package called “RadioBOSS” to make their software accessible.  I wrote them a long 
report outlining the accessibility requirements and, within 48 hours of my doing 
so, they have produced a beta which removes the accessibility issues almost 
completely.  Their formerly graphically drawn boxes are now standard group box 
controls, and it is possible to navigate between them via the keyboard.  The 
software has excellent audio processing, oodles of keyboard hot keys, built-in 
streaming/DSP encoders, (including Icecast 2.0 and Shoutcast 2.0), full support for 
uploading playlists to a remote server, full song requester facilities, accurate 
top-of-the-hour rotation timing, multiple file formats supported, on-the-fly 
recording of broadcasts, multiple simultaneous input/output sound devices, 
dynamically updated music libraries, Copy  Paste queuing, automatic playlist 
generation suitable for full 24/7 automation, and much much more.

The software comes in three different flavours, depending upon your needs.  But 
even the most expensive “Advanced” license is priced at just $199.00 US which, 
in comparison even to things like Station Playlist Creator and Sam Broadcaster, 
is a very affordable price.  Indeed, to license SPL and Studio Pro you’re 
looking at $450 for the two apps together.  This comes as an all-in-one 
application and is, as I say, cheaper than Station Playlist Creator Pro on its 
own.

I shall continue to work with the developers to further accessibility.  But it 
shows what can be achieved if one approaches a developer in the right way.  I 
went to them politely and demonstrated my willingness to play the game, so to 
speak, by purchasing 4 licenses for the Advanced edition which can be used on 
my four machines here to broadcast.  I am excited as to the prospects of using 
this software, and once we iron out a few more of the issues, I am confident 
that we will end up with a very accessible and highly effective means of 
putting one’s programming to air.

If you immediately rush off to download it, I should warn you against 
downloading the main release setup version on their website.  It is not fully 
accessible at all.  Many of the tabs and panels are not available in that 
version.  If you want to download and try the beta, you’ll need to access their 
Forum and download as a guest from there. Alternatively, get back to me off 
list and I’l send you a copy of the beta.

Gordon
