Sorry, no. I looked at airtime (I think before it was airtime) in the dim past. I have used rivendell much more. I would say it is more geared to running a professional broadcast radio station. IDJC looks more like you want to be in front of the app. Rivendell will let you make events, clocks, grids, and schedule music for a day and chain to the next day's music when done. Fun stuff for me at least. The station may already have software to do what rivendell does though. The stations I work for use windows software for that. We then pull the onair feed into a linux box running darkice which then sends to a local icecast2 server. From there, we pull that stream from our account with a stream hosting company. all the best, drew > > I can't see any mention of JACK support on the Airtime site and we may need > this to get Skype working but the other two do claim JACK support.
