I have spent many years studying various automation systems, some very complicated, some remarkably simple.
My interest in being involved with RadioBoss is to take the best ideas I have seen over the years and offer them, without plagiarising, to DJSoft, in the hope that the ideas are adopted, or at least are inspirational in producing a better, simpler, more functional (and marketable) product.
It is difficult to produce a product of this nature without coming close to emulating and duplicating someone elses concepts.
For my part, every part of what I offer in graphical design is made locally, and not cut and pasted from someone elses product other than those concepts already used in RadioBoss.
In saying that however, many inspirations I have come from other software.
If anyone feels this is unsatisfactory, feel free to critique.
