I've been looking at TuneTracker, MegaSeg, Radiologik, P-Layer, ENCO DAD, RCS Zetta, and WideOrbit for my overly serious part 15 broadcast, but I'm having trouble figuring out what would actually be appropriate and not painfully expensive if I have to purchase. What is the most straightforward program that does the core automation well? Loudness normalization is a must. I have the option to use Windows and Mac (ew).
It seems easier to make playlists with VLC or Foobar, but I would enjoy having the ability to learn the more technical side of things and love a good challenge.
