Fauste Player — User guide
Fauste Player is a playout application for radio studios. It runs several independent players side by side. Each player has its own playlists and transport. Players can chain tracks with overlapping mixes, pre-listen on a separate CUE output and survive crashes without putting anything on air by themselves.
Built with AI assistance, provided as is. Fauste Player, this guide and its translations were developed with substantial help from AI tools. It comes without any warranty and you use it at your own risk: see the Disclaimer.
