{leti} Re: [Rfu-barnraising] the automation question

[Gary Cziko]

Andy et al.:

I thought that I had responded earlier that I would like to automatize
broadcasting Radio Bilingue from the Internet from 2 to 3 or 2 to 4 pm
weekdays.  For this, I would need a Windows machine (XP Pro
preferred), Windows Media Player and System Scheduler (free version).

This system could also be used to do some simple station ID, but
something more sophisticated would probably be needed for other types
of automatization.

It would probably make to have one Windows computer to start out and
then conside a Linux system if more  automatization is going to be
done (which I don't think has been decided yet).
