Backbone Radio Pro goes Universal
Backbone Networks today released Backbone Radio Pro 4.1, its turnkey internet radio station software suite that now runs natively on Intel-based Macs as a Universal Binary. The latest iteration of the software is specifically aimed at increasing the revenue opportunities of online radio stations, with features such as clickable images/text and demographic feedback. Backbone Radio Pro 4.1 is compatible with iTunes to integrate automatic podcast generation into the radio mix. Broadcasters can simultaneously webcast streaming programs while using the software to create, annotate, and post podcasts made from the program material. The software creates podcast chapters and inserts images specific to each chapter, which are playable on iPod Photo or fifth-generation iPod models. Backbone Radio Pro 4.1 is priced at $4,500, and requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.
