but all that I can remember have been for DOS or some version of Windows. I have finally found a program for those hardy souls who run Linux.
Rivendell is FREE automation software developed for broadcasters by broadcasters. According to the Web site, “Rivendell aims to be a complete radio broadcast automation solution, with the facilities for the acquisition, management, scheduling and playout of audio content.”
More details are available on the Rivendell page of the Salem Radio Labs Web site:

Version 0.9.48 of Rivendell was released on Monday, August 8th, 2005. The release announcement is at:
