About

MusicOne is music scheduling software for radio stations, built so Music Directors spend their time on the music, not on fixing logs. Every song in a category gets the spins it was planned for, none overplayed and none underplayed, and songs move through the dayparts as planned. When no song fits without breaking a rule, MusicOne stops and asks the Music Director instead of leaving an empty slot, so the schedule is ready to air with nothing to fix. It learns which songs are hard to place and gives them priority. MusicOne Cloud runs in any browser and in a phone and tablet app, with live multi-user editing and several stations in one account. CloudSync, a small app on the studio computer, delivers each log to the station's automation software, with deep integrations for PlayoutONE, PlayIt Live and NextKast. Plans start at $49 per station per month, billed annually, with a 30-day free trial. Designed by Steve Warren, who created Music 1, the first music scheduler for Windows, in 1994.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Layout of system. Ease of use. Integrated Music Scheduling Software. Remote Voicetracking. LineIn/Live feature.
  • I love NextKast! It was so easy to learn and totally worth the price. By using voice tracking, I can record a week in advance and sound like I'm live!
  • Once you get used to the way it works, it works every time! The program is simple and easy to use. The migration from one automation to another was smooth and seamless. It did require manual manipulation of the rotations, but that was an easy thing to overcome. The MobileVT is truly an amazing feature. It allows for me to manage my station from anywhere I am with a few clicks. In fact, on a recent cruise, I was able to remotely log in and edit a playlist on the fly quickly and easily. We are going to be using the GoLive feature very soon!
  • Ease of Setup. Audio Quality without using and external DSP. Straight froward in its presentation of the Dashboard and operation of the radio automation program. Excellent Customer Service. Upgrades are free. Full service for running a radio station live, in the cloud or remotely from your smart phone.
  • This program, once set up, runs so smooth. We are a 24/7 southern gospel streaming station. Our station is run completely through the NextKast system with 8 off-site DJs. The automation side, for pre generating hours and for the DJs to do their voice tracks (VTs) via the web based login, works great. Though there have been some minor issues that occur when the program has an upgrade, the customer service team at NextKast were very quick to respond, find the problem/issue and resolve it. NextKast continues DAILY to improve their program and works great for our station.

Cons

  • Really cannot think of any once I figured out how to use the system.
  • Adding music can be a little challenging. The steps are easy but the music doesn't always end up in the correct folder.
  • The only con to the program at this time is not having the ability to have just a dedicated playout only screen for the studio. Letting the jocks have access to everything could pose an issue.
  • None. There have been no issues with NextKast Setup and the daily operation of the program.
  • I have to make sure songs are tagged perfect so they work with our streaming service rules (i.e., not to repeat a song in a certain time frame, not to play the same artist within a certain time frame, etc.) It does take a little extra behind the scenes work on our end, but once it is all finished the system works seamlessly. Regarding the program itself, the only thing I would like to see would be a few cosmetics on volume sliders. But that is just a personal preference, not an issue with the program.
