I heard about this, but when I went to their web site a few minutes ago, there was no download for their free version. I got a "404 Error". Tried it several times.

Anybody know where I can get this download?

I don't read Spanish well, so I switched to the English language version. It takes a little poking around but they did
still offer the free (1.6) version.

Zara has worked well for my over-the-air signal.

I'm using ZaraRadio under WINE in Ubuntu Linux. Have to admit, it has some bizarre quirks (the PLAY button does not appear when a song is playing, when changing a single file in the EVENTS folder, I have to readjust the start time. And when I click on View, the drop down menu will freeze on the screen when the system is playing. Even when I minimize to the bottom toolbar.) Otherwise, it functions and very well. But I really wish ZaraRadio or somebody can make a version that runs only on Ubuntu/Debian Linux. It is the fastest growing operating system in the world. And it's FREE.

Campcaster and Rivendell are a wee bit complex because they don't install from .deb files (the Ubuntu answer to the Windows .exe install) And code hashing all night with compiling files in Terminal  isn't my thing. It's nice, because if you're really good at it, you can even IMPROVE the software to make it run exactly the way YOU want it to (that's the BEAUTY of open source Ubuntu Linux.) I just don't have the will (or time) to really hit the e-docs and tutorials the way I REALLY SHOULD (who knows what I could turn that lowly Totem Media Player into, an all-in-one SUPER radio/TV automation system?)

I couldn't download it either.

Fortunately I think I have an older version stashed away on one of my Linux machines somewhere that I'll have to look for.

i noticed that with campcaster. i played around with it on ubuntu. IIRC it also uses a funky sql database (i dont remember which but its not mysql) which i think is its major drawback.

some things with wine are just buggy as hell. i can never pin it down to being the wine package or poorly written program code

If your running linux, Rivendell is worth the effort to get running.  It is a very feature rich system that just keeps getting better with each release.  It does take some time to get up and running, but there is lots of help available.  It is designed to run on older versions of suse, but can be complied for any distro.

Alban Peignier maintains Ubuntu complied versions.  The latest is available here. http://blog.tryphon.org/alban/archives/2009/08/26/rivendell-152-packages-for-debian-and-ubuntu-with-jaunty-support/

You can get help from the wiki that is linked to the Rivendell main page or by subscribing to the mailing list.

Zararadio is KING at least for my fm station. It does the job I want, there are small problems with it, I have tried and tried to fix, LIKE... Trying to run a dry liner in front of a song, not a sweeper, just a dry liner, it will jump to the next element, and cut off the ending of the liner.. Other than that, a great automation program.
Again it's got its bugs, but it works for the most part.
