Can this REALLY be included, free?!

You dream it up, TuneStacker™ makes it happen...

Included FREE in both versions of the TuneTracker System is TuneStacker™, our insanely-great music selection and program log generation program. Create advanced music mixes, built to your exacting criteria, with ProximityGuard™ protection against playing the same thing too often.

In the TuneTracker Basic version of TuneStacker, you can randomize music by one criteria for every song you add, such as the song's Genre, Tempo, or Comment. This lets you do creative, quality music mixes. And you can set one layer of proximity protection, to guard against having, say, the same Artist, Title, Album, or Genre showing up more often than every 300 items in your program log (playlist).

In the TuneTracker Command Center™ package, we take random music selection to the max, giving you the ability to randomly find songs by multiple criteria at the same time. Start out the hour with a "fast," "pop" song from the "90s", follow it up with an "alternative rock" "medium tempo" song rated for "evenings only," and wrap up the three song sweep with a "recordedlive," "fast" tempo, "albumcut" of "disco!" Yep...it really is that versatile!

TuneStacker Command Center™ edition provides powerful, multi-layer ProximityGuard™ protection features that prevent your listeners from hearing the same song too often, and if applicable to your situation, allows you to present your musical selections in a format that complies with DMCA regulations for Internet broadcasting. Going well beyond DMCA requirements, TuneStacker lets you build layer upon layer of protection. You can create proximity protection up to five layers deep, choosing from these categories...Artist, Album, Title, Name, Comment, Genre, Tempo, and Composer....and then, specify how infrequently each should appear on your program logs (playlists).

In addition, TuneStacker for Command Center™ does simultaneous integration of your commercial traffic schedule (traffic log). It includes a clever import configuration screen that will accept most-any traffic log format without requiring a filter from the manufacturer. Daily traffic integration, music selection, and program log generation are all accomplished in a single step.


A clear and easy interface...

As with the rest of our products, TuneStacker ™ stows all its power and ingenuity in its engine compartment, leaving you with a clean, simple-to-use interface that will thrill veterans and novices alike. With a few mouse clicks you can tell TuneStacker™ exactly how you'd like your program logs generated. Then just click "Generate" and get on with your other duties while TuneStacker™ does all the work.

Fresh-picked music...

TuneStacker ™ offers a variety of clever user options that let you add audio cuts to your program logs by a virtually unlimited number of unique criteria, resulting in an always-fresh, creatively designed music mix selected with your own exacting criteria.

1. Select "Random" songs based on Title, Artist, Filename, Album, Genre, even Tempo. You can also also randomize using your own unique "Comment" criteria, meaning you can add items based on words like "promo," "sweeper," "jingle" or any other word you like. In Command Center's version of TuneStacker, search by many criteria simultaneously!
2. Hard-wire exact cuts you want played at specific points in your program log using our simple "Play" command.
3. "Rotate" through a series of cuts that all match the same criteria. For example, set up a rotation that will play evenly through all of your PSAs, then return to the beginning of the rotation and start over. "Rotate" acts just like a traditional tape "cart," and even remembers where it left off from one day to the next.
4. "PlayFolder" is a TuneTracker System™ innovation. PlayFolder lets you build an entire block program by simply dragging all of the required cuts (program open, program segments, commercials, program close, etc.) into a folder, numbering the filenames in the order you want them played, and then telling TuneStacker™ to add the entire contents of the folder to the program log. It's a huge production-saver and you're going to love it.
5. "GetPlay" (Command Center Only) grabs the correct, dated filename for every day, saving you lots of manual log editing!
6. "Break" markers (Command Center Only) can be placed in your master logs, indicating where commercials from your Traffic software should "fall" when they are merged-in.

Scripting adds even more power...

In both versions, TuneStacker's command line option sets you free. You can set up a script that'll cause TuneStacker ™ to generate a whole batch of program logs, each from its own unique master log. Launch the script, do lunch, and when you get back, an entire week's worth of unique program logs, each containing an entirely fresh mix of music, will be there waiting for you. And if you have TuneTracker Command Center™, even the launching of your log generation script can happen automatically.


One step, not two or three...

With most automation systems, you must purchase and run separate music selection software, and then merge the resultant "music log" with your master log. If you're using traffic software to schedule commercials, the traffic log must then also be merged-in. TuneStacker ™ saves you time every single day by generating the program log, creating your fresh music mix, and, in the TuneTracker Command Center™ version, importing/integrating your traffic log, all in one step. Best of all, since TuneStacker™ is included in the TuneTracker System, you save hundreds of dollars over purchasing music selection software separately.
