Rocket Broadcaster 1.2.14 Released: Metadata from more Radio Automation and Bugfixes

Rocket Broadcaster 1.2.14 is now out! This new release can ingest metadata from even more radio automation software, and includes a number of bugfixes. We'd like to thank many of our customers for working with us to develop metadata support for these additional automation systems.

Here's what's new in this release:

PRO Capture Metadata from RCS Zetta, RadioBOSS, Arrakis Digilink Xtreme (Live365 XML), Audisi GML, and iMediaTouch

Rocket Broadcaster Pro can now receive and parse metadata from a slew of new radio automation suites, including:

  • RCS Zetta
  • RadioBOSS
  • Arrakis Digilink Xtreme (via the Live365 XML export)
  • Audisi GML
  • iMediaTouch (LMIV format).


Rocket Broadcaster can read metadata from the applications via TCP, UDP, or via an XML file (depending on the automation software).

For a full list of radio automation software and formats that Rocket Broadcaster can ingest and embed in your stream, see our list of Compatible Radio Automation Systems.
