Got $20,000? What you're asking for is a system I've worked with for years, the Broadcast Electronics AudioVault. You can check it out at www.audiovault.com. This is a radio station automation system using a scsi drive server and PC terminals. From there, you'd have to feed a streamer server, which AudioVault also has available. AudioVault uses it's own modified .mp2 codecs, which would all have to be manually recorded into their system, but it would do exactly what you've described. I've looked for less costly systems that do the same, but they do not exist. Close, but no cigars. In the long run, just spending the time to pre-mix all the combos would be an answer to the cost difference. You've got to ask yourself, as many radio program directors do daily, is my audience really going to notice the difference if everything's not perfect? Great ideas often lose their greatness when they fail the test of simplicity. All the advice I can give. Good luck. Bob Singer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
