Native Import
to Your AutomationNo Additional Manual Conversions Ever
Many expensive automation systems require any imported audio be manually converted with proprietary software to add headers that allow the automation software to recognize and play the program. WebGopher eliminates this step by adding the headers automatically so your program always goes from web, to air with no staff time required.

No Additional Manual Conversions Ever!
Many expensive automation systems require any imported audio be manually converted with proprietary software to add headers that allow the automation software to recognize and play the program. Until WebGopher arrived this required dedicated staff to manually retreive programming from the Web or shared folders, convert the audio or video to the proper format, and rename the file for the automation. Even if an automated download program was used in many cases someone still had to be assigned to also use a utility program supplied by the automation software manufacturer to add meta data to the file before it would be recognized and play on-air.
WebGopher™ eliminates all of these steps at once, and forever
With WebGopher™ you can not only download, convert, and rename the programming automatically, it also eliminates the last step by adding the meta data headers so your programs always go from web, to air, with no staff time required ever again.
In addition, WebGopher™ was written to be flexible. If your automation system or format requirements are not currently in the system, just drop us a note. We can quickly create a utility module for you that will add that capability, with out thanks for helping other WebGopher users expand their horizons as well!

It even has the ability to add the SS32 header for use by older Scott Studios automation. I've been beta testing it and it is great!

We've dealt with digital audio since the early 1980's before most of today's tech existed. We're broadcasters. We know digital audio. We know automation. WebGopher was written by broadcasters, for broadcasters, to save time, and money.

Radio Gopher will not only copy files from A to B but also, download the segments, put a Scott header on them and put them in the air studio automatically. I've been testing it too and it is a neat utility which saves many hours a week.
