Is anyone else here working at a radio station that uses linux? I know
of Fred Gleason at Salem Radio Labs, and of course my employer Radio
Free Asia. I know there have been others from the broadcast world on the
various linux audio lists in the past, but can't remember names or where
they worked.
Thanks,

I currently volunteer at a community radio station that uses Windows.
I'd like to
try to get them to switch, but it would have to be really painless.
Are you actually using Linux programs to do logging and such, and if
so, which programs.
Cheers,
ernie

RBOSS is the umbrella project for the programs that have been developed
here at RFA. They are mostly written in python and use mysql. An
overview of each is available here:
http://techweb.rfa.org/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=87&…
There is a central authentication app that the others tie into. The
functions served by these others include: 1) preparing and storing
program schedules, 2) parsing news feeds from the wire services, 3)
reporter upload of sound bites from the field, i.e. actualities. All
have browser based interfaces.
We also have a number of utilities for automating audio file conversions
and other aspects of the operation. Our mp3 archives are handled by
linux servers as well.
While Linux and Free Software have served our operation well on the
server side of things, our broadcast production chain is almost entirely
proprietary systems. I hope to encourage change towards using more linux
based solutions in time. In general the environment here is promising
for future change in that direction.

I no-one comes up with software that already exists for logging etc then
if someone can publish a spec someone (i.e. me if the spec is something
I can manage) might take it up.

The Rivendell project from salemradiolabs feels about 6 months from fitting
the bill for playout,log management, library management and the like.
http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell
I say it feels 6 months away because while there is talk of going for a pre
release beta testing program, they actually have not really gone for a freeze
yet.
I do not know of any music scheduling or traffic scheduling tools that run
directly under Linux, but the plan is for rivendell to be easily able to
import from the common windows formats.
(Disclaimer - I submit lots of bug reports and patches for this, not a
disinterested observer).
Regards, Dan.

Is there any Linux Radio broadcasting software that runs on Any
sound card ( not AudioScience dependant) preferrably with
Jack?
Thanks

Yea, Rivendell!
Works just fine under jack, however MP3 library support is disabled - patent
licensing issues, so your audio database would be in .wav, .ogg support is a
work in progress.....

No, I used to design broadcast equipment for a living however.
I do sometimes get involved in RSL (Restricted service License (Low power,
short term stations run for special events)) stations here in the UK, and am
hacking rivendell mostly to keep my hand in.

Compile and install the gpio driver code! Even if you do not have a GPIO card
fitted, we still need to find the headers.
This should be fixed as the Download web page omits it as a requirement.
Fred, could you update the website?

It is already listed as a requirement, both on the download page and in the
INSTALL file. Anyplace else I'm missing?
