XJO
We Play Just About Everything

From the first time that I opened OTSDJ I loved it. The GUI
(Graphical User Interface) was excellent. All the important tools that
one would need to run a radio station were there. I especially like
the "autoDJ" function which performes automatic cross fading from
one song to another. Another important and time saving feature of
OTSDJ is the "playlist generator". The playlist generator will
generate a 24 hour playlist based upon a user defined template.

The template allows the user to select which catagories of music the
playlist will be generated from. It is also possible to include spots,
jingles, and sliders into the playlist at a selectable interval. Other
parameters include the "seperate same artist" and "seperate same title"
by a user defined number of songs. OTSDJ also comes supplied with a
graphic equalizer, software AGC, Compressor and limiter. More

As I previously mentioned before, XJO is completely automated. The
station is capable of running up to weeks at a time without operator
intervention. The computer that XJO is running on is a home built rack
mounted server. The server has a large UPS that will allow the station
and transmitter to run for almost a half hour without AC power. The
sound card that the XJO server is using is a Sound Blaster "Live". The
audio output (analog) from the "speaker" jack is fed directly into a
Symetrix 422 Stereo AGC leveler. The output of the Symetrix 422 is fed
via an XLR cable into an Omnia3-AM digital audio processor.
