Orban book on broadcast audio quality (pdf) - Compliments RadioDJ

[DavidEsp]

RadioDJ gets a favourable mention in the book: "Maintaining Audio Quality in the Broadcast/Netcast Facility (2019 Edition)" by the greatly respected Robert Orban and Greg Ogonowski (of the Orban company).  It's on Page 12 of its Section: "Program Associated Data (PAD) or Metadata".  I accidentally found a pdf copy of it - worth reading through in any case - at the the following link (while websearching for any professional usage of ID3v2.4, which indeed it recommends):

- Some playout software does not require metadata tagged files for import. Instead, it may be possible to import the metadata as a text file with audio file references.
- **RadioDJ Pro** is one such example. This conveniently facilitates pre or post editing metadata in one place and doesn't require audio files to be tagged, making it very convenient to import high quality untagged .wav files into playout software.  The database entries are then used to display information about the audio tracks in the playout software and also to send Now Playing data to other destinations in your facilities.

...and shortly after this...

It is common for playout system vendors to use proprietary metadata in their audio files to try to lock their users into their systems, making it difficult to use audio libraries in another system.

I posted separately about the ID3v2.4 subject here: https://www.radiodj.ro/community/index.php?topic=16588.0

RadioDJ Pro ?

[RadioDJ2022]

RadioDJ would get a mention by those guys because they're the people who own the rights to it now (BROADCAST MEDIAWARE, LLC )

RadioDJ Pro ?

Yes there will be a Pro version coming

Ohhhh...  Sounds promising then
I've obviously been out of touch - just seen the following:

Also seen RDJ promoted (a couple of years ago) on The BDR Lunch Gathering (on Youtube)

(timed to come in at presenter's "How To" stage)

It sounded serious at the time and I did wonder where/how things were going.
