Open source Campcaster empowers independent radio broadcasters

In brief, Campcaster is a playout system — the means through which radio station personnel control the audio feed to the transmitter, be it live content (either local or remote) or recorded programming (played interactively or scheduled in advance). Campcaster is built to run on Ubuntu Linux, though it should work on other distributions as well. You can install and run Campcaster on any hardware with a working sound card (it supports multiple cards for radio station work), or try the live demo online.
