I don't know or have never used that software; I have used
http://stationplaylist.com that is mostly accessible and there exist Jaws
scripts for it that make it even more so.

It is automation software that can transmit live to a server, if that is
what you want to do.

As far as streaming servers themselves, Shoutcast and Icecast are the most
popular.  The most popular interface for both is Centova Cast, but it is not
very accessible at all.

Most of our programs are recorded, although not exclusively so, we have a
few live.  Since Centova Cast is not accessible and I am a totally blind
user of Jaws, I had to write my own interface to Shoutcast V2 in PHP, so I
am able to handle automation myself without problems.

It depends on what you want to do; if most of your programs are live,
probably Station Playlist Studio is your best choice.  Since I don't like to
have to depend on my DSL connection to the server and then the server to the
world, I prefer to keep my programs in the server and use AutoDj for almost
all of it.  My station is in Spanish, but you can listen by going to
http://radiogeneral.com to see how it sounds.  In a little over a
year-and-a-half, we have  achieved much, have been listened or visited from
113 different countries.  We have long passed the 12-hour-a-day programation
and are close to fill 24 hours a day with unique programation.

Subject: station program accessibility

I'm an on air volunteer at a local community radio station here in Madison.
The station wants to go more digital for programming of music, features,
psas etc.  They are currently looking at a station automation program called
MIXX http://www.mixxx.org/manual/latest/

The person who is in charge is somewhat concerned about the accessibility of
this program.  Has anyone had any experience using it and have any views
about accessibility?

Your input will be appreciated.

Clifford
