this weekend.

Are you considering an independent stand-alone workstation or a networked
configuration (with a db and storage server and many clients)?
Do you need live/presente
Its looking like a stand alone set up. I thought about networking with my
OptiPlex and using that as music import and log creation but it would have
to send it to the primary play out machine.
Mainly music rotation with a few features sprinkled in daily.

Someone needs to spend the time, to write up all this documentation,

I've come to the conclusion that an automation playout system (at least
