Your portable Macintosh is your broadcast studio for live events, while the powerful cloud-based automation and production control software handles content storage, 24/7 scheduling, program syndication and all types of listener maps and reports.

Backbone makes Internet Radio Simplified.

1. Load Your Content
Just drag-n-drop songs, clips and other recorded content in from your CDs, archives or directly from your iTunes music library.  This will be your automated content for when you're not on the air live. Tick the "Share" box to share your audio content with other stations (peer syndication). Plus, drag in music and content from other syndicators in your "network" to augment your programs.

 2. Program Your Shows for Uninterrupted Operation

Use the DJ Window for when you'll be on the air live.  Program your automated playlists and schedules of playlists through the powerful Backbone Automation "production" window.  Again, just drag-n-drop, like iTunes. Bring up the DJ window and push the Live button when you want to interrupt and go live again.

3. Broadcast & Analyze

Now for the fun part. Just click and you're on the air. Then take a look to find how many people are listening, where they're listening from, and whether they were listening from their computers or their smartphones! You can also access this data in tabular form for easy reports. This is great data for musicians, too.
