I haven't had a chance to see the Nexgen2 system you mentioned. I remember the original Prophet system which I think is the makers of the Nexgen2. Can't recall what station was using it though when I saw it.
I thought of another system today that I saw once (never used myself), I think it was called the ?Shadow?. Reality 101 had the system when it came on the air up in Birmingham. It was good on live assist, or when left alone to be a jukebox, but it took forever to get to work with voice tracking like they wanted it to. I think they ended up switching systems when Blackbird, crow, whatever it was from Huntsville bought the station and flipped it to the 101.1 The Spot. It might not have been till they moved the studios to the Pepper building though. Crawford bought the station and changed the automation system again...can't remember what to though.
