OAS Playout Free Demo Version |
You can download a free demo version of OAS Playout for trial and evaluation here by following the instructions below. To use the package you will need:
- Pentium P100 or better running MS-Windows Vista/7/8/10.
- 60MB free disk space
- A collection of music, audio to use with the package in .mp3 format
Limitations of the Free Version
The free version is time limited and will cease to operate after 28 days from initial installation.
The free version is designed to enable the trial of the main application "on air" software - OAS Playout, it does not include the database management software OAS Playout Manager. For more details see the Feature Comparison page.
As such, the freeware version only provides the capability to select tracks from two audio folders - one for 'music' accessible via the Main Players and one for 'jingles' accessible via the Jingle Players (which can also be included in multiple button wall sets). Any MP3 files found in these directories will be made available for playback with the filenames being used to determine Track/Artist names - no further information is available for display with this version.
This effectively precludes the use of playlists, Cue Point generation and some of the more advanced features available with the retail version but should provide enough capability to evaluate the product.
Installation Instructions
