This would be fantastic. You could also use the web interface to remote voicetrack with a Flash App or something similar. >>>> There are a few areas that could be developed to top the industry in >>>> features, such as: > 1.

The only other component I would add to the list that I see in some commercial systems is the ability to embed a cart within a cart. For example, having two sets of cuts or a mini-playlist in a cart. Take weather for example. To have a Weather Jingle, Weather Report, followed by an outro in the same cart to be called by our traffic scheduling system by a single number would be great. Many systems use the concept of a Playlist like a cart. Instead of rotating cuts, there are other carts in the system that are played sequentially as the main cart is played. We also use this feature in another automation system for school closings. As they come in, we add a new cut to each cart and the system plays through it. We also use this for sports game opener sets. Once again - these are wish-list items.
