crWebBB is a flexible tool for gathering and sending information about what is currently playing on an XStudio, DCS, or Maestro system.

Use crWebBB with XStudio, DCS, or Maestro (v3.0 and above).
Recognizes and uses Maestro’s Song Title, Artist, Category information (if enabled in Maestro).
Embedded music database that can be used for full song title and artist posting, including utilities to import the data, "proper-case" the information and export the data to text or html files.
Embedded alternate messages database that can be used to send custom messages for non-music content, by user-defined cart categories. Multiple custom messages can be created for each category and rotated, including start and end date sensitivity.
For web posting, messages can be written to a target file and sent to the web site via FTP or simply written to a target file and processed by an external handler application.
Two billboard message types can be used, including a user-defined text billboard. The user-defined content layout is completely customizable by the end-user and may be used in combination with the standard text type or in lieu of it.
RDS/RBDS messages can be sent directly to the encoder via a serial connection or, for select encoder models, TCPIP connection.
Software-controlled RDS "block mode" messaging.
Billboard posting and RDS messages can optionally be limited to music only. Text posting types are controlled individually, as is RDS messaging.
User-selectable appearance of the application (skins).
