CometCue

Three stations. One PC. An AI music director for each.

Radio automation for stations that want to sound programmed by someone who knows the music, every hour of the day.

What it does all day

The work a program director, a music director and a board operator share, done by one app that never leaves the building.

AI music director

One for each station, so formats never mix. It ranks your catalogue from chart history: the biggest hits play the most, lesser hits less, deep cuts now and then.

Talk to it in plain English

"Rest that song until Friday." "More tempo at drive time." The director listens, remembers, and can look up charts and song facts on the web.

Segues that sound produced

Every song's start, fade and ending are measured once, so tracks blend on their real cue points with no dead air between them.

Time and temperature

Your town's time and temperature in the voice you choose, with numbers spoken the way an announcer says them.

Go live when you want

A host and guest mic channel, on or off with one click. The music dips under your voice and comes back when you finish.

Streams where listeners are

Live365, Icecast and SHOUTcast, with artist and title sent along. The stations keep playing if the window closes.

A log you can drag around

See the hour ahead with cover art. Move a song, drop one on the next deck, or let the hour run itself.

Requests that respect the rules

A listener's request goes through the same rotation rules as everything else, so one song never takes over the hour.

Buy lists without repeats

Every song gets style tags, and the director writes shopping lists of the hits your library is missing, skipping what you already own.

Up and running in three steps

  1. Point it at your music.CometCue reads your folders, finds the cover art, and measures every song's cue points and tempo.
  2. Tell each station what it is.Classic hits, hot AC, oldies. The director ranks the catalogue and builds the hours to fit.
  3. Connect your stream.Enter your Live365, Icecast or SHOUTcast details and you are on the air.
