musiccompanion.
musiccompanion. is a cloud-based metadata and show prep platform for radio music programmers. It aggregates data from Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcharts, FingerprintingDB, and regional sources into one workflow.
Song processing includes automatic format conversion, AI audio analysis via Cyanite (genre, mood, energy, tempo, key), and detection of intro length and segue points. Confirmed metadata syncs directly to MusicMaster, with support for distributing one processed song to multiple stations and formats at once.
Its core innovation is Molecules: small, individually human-verified facts about a song or artist, generated by AI and assembled into scripts, trivia, and voice tracks only after human confirmation, eliminating hallucination risk before content reaches air, with a full audit trail of sources and approvals.
musiccompanion. won the Radio World Best of Show Award at NAB 2026 with MusicMaster Inc.

SAM Broadcaster Pro
SAM Broadcaster Pro is a professional Internet radio broadcasting solution for Windows, designed to handle live streaming, track playback, voice tracking, stream encoding, statistics relaying, and output automation from one configurable workspace. It helps broadcasters organize large music libraries into multiple categories, import information from file tags, and automatically look up track details. Dual Deck players let users queue and position the next song while another is playing, or hand control to Auto DJ so the station can continue running 24/7 without an operator present. Its smart crossfader detects the best point to begin fading between tracks, while manual cue points provide more precise control and the Gap Killer prevents unwanted silence. Advanced audio processing includes an equalizer, gated AGC, stereo expander, bass EQ, five-band and two-band processors, and a clipper, with a compressor, expander, and limiter available for each multiband section.
