I am looking for some software and wondered if anyone could help me.

Back when I was at university (many moons ago now) I had the chance to use some great software for running an automated radio station. It had lots of features and options for setting it up which mean that it would automatically choose music based on certain criteria that you'd chosen (using mp3 tags - so you could for example specify female solo artists or dance music etc), and not play more than one track by a certain artist in in given hour etc etc.

Also, as it was designed to be a radio station, you could assign time slots for various things, such as advertisements etc, and of course you could set up different criteria for different times, for example sunday morning you might want nice gentle classical music, while monday morning you might play upbeat pop music.

It was not the greatest piece of software ever but was pretty impressive.

Does anyone know of any such software (free please) that can do similar things? I don't suppose there is anything really that will have quite the same extensive features as this software but if there are any suggestions of things which can do similar I'd be very grateful.

Blimey...had not expected there to be no suggestions at all!!!

Does anyone know of any software at all that allows you to get the pc to automatically choose music based on criteria you select?

Or indeed anything similar?
