Check with the people that are on ACB radio. I am sure that they will be able to fill you in on what they are using in the way of technical equipment. As I said in a previous post you don't have to spend an arm and a leg to make this all possible. Now as software is concerned, wouldn't studio playlist do the job? I'm sorry, I am not an expert when it comes to accessible software. I am sure that someone else can pick up the ball at this point and run with it. . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judy W" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
