Remote MusicLibrary Client for Collaborative Database Management

[JeanXeb]

Hi RadioBOSS,

Thank you for your continued work on such a powerful and versatile broadcasting solution.

I would like to suggest a feature that could greatly enhance collaboration for teams working with RadioBOSS: the development of a MusicLibrary client that allows remote access and control of MusicLibrary databases over a network.

This would enable multiple collaborators to manage and edit the music database simultaneously from different locations, streamlining workflows and improving efficiency—especially in environments where programming and music scheduling are handled by several team members.

I believe this addition would be a valuable asset for many users and would further strengthen RadioBOSS’s capabilities in professional broadcasting setups.

Thank you for considering this request,

Best regards

This is already possible using the MySQL database option for storing the additional information: https://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/additional-information-storage.htm

When the database is configured, you can install RadioBOSS on different computers, configure them to use this database - this way, changes made in Track Tool and Music Library are immediately visible for all other RadioBOSS instances.

Thank you, I understand your procedure. However, it would still be simpler to have a dedicated .exe for our users — one that only includes the database reader, without requiring the full RadioBOSS installation. It would also be very useful to have the ability to add as many databases as we want, without limitations.

You would still need a full RadioBOSS installation on each computer in order to configure the database access, as it's done from the Settings window in RadioBOSS. After that, you can delete all *.exe files from the installation folder, leaving only MusicLibrary.exe (and, probably, TrackTool.exe if you call track properties for a single track).

Better approach would be leave installation as is, but remove shortcuts to RadioBOSS and create shortcuts to Music Library.

It would also be very useful to have the ability to add as many databases as we want, without limitations.

It is possible already, the number of databases is not limited - you can have as many libraries as you need.
