Computer Network Design:
This design is for a night club or a small radio station to use computers to play music and store data. This is a similar design that is used here at the university radio station WBRY 1640 AM.
It is a very simple design that encompasses one server and two or more workstations. One work station will be connected to an engineering board or mixer that will play the music on air. The interface will be a high quality sound card for the best results.
The applications also play a big role in this situation. BPM pro is probably one of the best applications for this use.
Redundancy is another important attribute in this network. There can’t be a loss of data because the station cannot be off the air for extended periods of time.

Music Computer
There is an important to this network design. The main workstation has to meet certain requirements. The workstation must be able to play music without any lag. the system had to be stable enough to do so for long periods of time without shutting down. WBRY's computer is on 24 hours a day seven days a week. Any computer with a processor speed of at least 300 megahertz can play music but the key concept is there be no lag or silence or any system failures.
Computer System For A night Club
A night club is a similar situation, a stable machine is certainly needed as well as a radio station. I currently use a PC to play music in a nightclub. I have been using a computer for the last year. I have upgraded computers at least twice and upgraded hard drives as well.
A preferred application to play music is BPM Pro:
Traktor Dj is also a professional aplication that can be used for DJing in a Night Club because of it's versitlity:
