Nextkast
uses (in the case of mp3's) a system where all meta data and structure
is kept in the trusted windows file system(not in a database or flat file),
thereby lowering the chance a file corruption that could cause issues
with station setup. this also makes it easy to backup an entire station
onto a single usb drive. NextKast also accepts .wav .aiff .ogg .m4a .mp2
.flac .mov .mp4 audio files. ALL Versions |
