The tool for the task...
We need music scheduling software because we are in the business of playing the same songs over and over. For some radio stations, the library is a few hundred. For others, it's a few thousand. The music programmer's challenge is to make it sound like the station ISN'T playing the same songs over and over. That is what this software was designed to do.
When the music is well-managed, the radio station has the sound, the feel and the flow of hand-curation 24/7. That was the goal as we designed and built this elegant app for the music radio craftsman.
Music 1 Makes Radio Better.
Control the Flow
Consistent rotations. Better music flow. No unscheduled slots to fix later.
Unscheduled Slots - The Fundamental Flaw
When other schedulers can't find a song that passes all the rules, they may leave the slot unscheduled for you to fill later. That's the problem. Filling empty slots by hand disrupts the planned category rotation, which produces uneven daypart exposure and inconsistent song spins.
Music 1 leaves no slot unscheduled. With Steve's fix-it-first schedule editing design, all conflicts are resolved as they occur the during scheduling run by human hand. This produces consistently reliable rotation placement for all songs, all the time. Also, M1 is the most time-efficient scheduler.

Consistency
One of the pillars of successful music radio programming is cosistent music selection, placement and flow, hour by hour, day after day. A "Today's Hits" station should not have the four Hots that play in the 7am hour on Monday being rescheduled in that hour on Tuesday. An Oldies station should not have one hour over-populated with songs from the '00s and the next hour playing mostly '90's hits.
Content Control
Music 1 schedules everything. In addition to delivering perfect song rotations and music flow, it also schedules the Liners, Voice Tracks, Promos, Jingles, Spot Breaks, Short- and Long-form programs and Syndicated shows. The only thing it does not schedule is the commercials. But, we have TrafficONE for that task. (..and M1 syncs smoothly with other traffic/billing apps, too.)
