Thanks for the suggestions so far!
Has anyone on the list tried more than one of Airtime, IDJC and Rivendell
(plus any of the other solutions) enough to make a good comparison?
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,

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. I get
the impression Airtime has the most features otherwise but I expect they'll
gladly trade stability and ease of use/ maintenance over a flashy set of
features.
