We'll be happy to have you download any version of Music 1 for evaluating and testing. You only have to tell us who you are, where you are and give us your email address so we can send the dowload links to you.

First, please do a bit of reading on this site to decide which version(s) you want to look at.

Broadcast radio stations
There are two versions to consider. Music 1 Version 6 is the most advanced software. Music 1 LE/Legacy Edition doesn't have quite so many advanced functions but is a solid piece of software and is budget priced. 

You can request and install both of them, if you want. They'll go into different directories. Please read about both versions (links on this site) and decide which to examine first.

Webcast stations
Music 1 SE/Special Edition is the most advanced scheduling tool available for webcasters at an affordable price. This one is based on the source code for Version 6 and has much of the look-and-feel of our most advanced software. It produces a special type playlist file that can be imported and used by most of the widely-used webcasting playout systems; SAM Broadcasters, OtsA/V, StationPlaylist Studio, Radiocube, etc. The M1Se playlist can also be read/played by consumer media players like WinAmp, Windows Media Player, Real Player, etc.

If you use one of the professional broadcast automation systems, you'll need to get either Version 6 or LE. Special discount rates are available.

RECOMMENDATION: Please do watch several of the instructional videos on this site to get an understanding of the basic functions of the software.

It is important that you read about M1 before you start the software. The documentation will give you an overview of the Music 1 system and instructions for using the demo. .

When you install the software, you get a fully functioning copy of Music 1. 6x and LE come with a Pop music song library, all set up with format clocks and rules and ready to play with, and also an empty database. You may enter your own songs, create your own format clocks and schedule 14 music logs at no cost. SAM and Live365 editions come with an empty library file which you can begin using immediately. Anything you do within the library databases will be saved, so if you decide to use M1, you won't have to re-enter any work or data entry you do with the demo.

DATA IMPORT: If you're using another scheduler now and want to have your song library data transferred from that one into Music 1, call or e-mail Steve or Neil (numbers & addresses on the Contact page).

Mp3 TAG IMPORT: Most webcasters use the mp3 format. M1 versions 6 and SE can automatically read and import the tags (artist, title, length, album) from the mp3s. Before importing, we highly recommend using a tag editor software to scan your audio folders, to find and correct any tags that may need updating.

The best thing to do after you download our demo is to call our office and let us walk you through a short orientation. We can show you the basics in about five minutes. This will be an information and training call for you and that is all. No sales pitches. We just want to help you get a handle on the system with ease. This is especially important if you are experienced with other music schedulers because Music 1 is so very different from what you have been working with. So, call us!
