TuneTracker is a software suite for automated radio broadcasting.

History

[edit]

The Tunetracker System radio automation software was created in the late 1990s—early 2000s by Dane Scott. Tunetracker ran on Be, Inc's BeOS, a multimedia operating system.[1]

The first commercial release was simply called "TuneTracker" and came with the radio automation program, a music scheduler called TuneStacker, and a background recording program named "TimeTracker".[2] Also included were 24/7 jitter free playout, MakeMyDay, Lightning and LINE IN. Later came TuneTracker 2, and a commercial Traffic-enabled version called TuneTracker 2 Pro that also added satellite switcher control.[3]

In June 2006, a version of TuneTracker automation called "Command Center" was released and it has been updated every year since.[4]

In 2016, the SignalCaster app for iPad was added to the TumeTracker range, allowing for remote broadcast management.[5] TuneTracker now runs on open source operating system Haiku OS.[6]
