Visual Segue Editor v2 is built for StationPlaylist. It's a companion tool, not a replacement for TrackTool. Many stations use both: TrackTool for algorithmic bulk detection and advanced BPM analysis, VSE2 for visual cue editing, spectral analysis and quick bulk date assignment. Together they make a complete broadcast audio workflow.
The same applies to RadioDJ. VSE2 gives you a proper waveform and spectral view for setting cue points, and writes them back to the RadioDJ database — but only the cue points. Artist, title, album, air dates, day-part restrictions, gain and everything else in your library stay RadioDJ's job.
Any broadcast radio station or production facility using StationPlaylist.
Prep your weekly music adds. Visual cue editing cuts the time in half. See exactly what you're getting before it goes on air.
Set hooks and intro points across your rotation. Bulk date assignment means no more hand-entry of dates.
Quick turnaround on new content. Edit markers visually, validate against the waveform, save to StationPlaylist. Done.
Manage hundreds of files across multiple machines. Calendar view shows air dates at a glance. Spot gaps in your schedule.
Five minutes to your first cue point.
Click "Select Path" and choose your music folder. Check "Load subfolders" if needed. Click Load.
Double-click a filename in the list. The waveform loads in seconds.
Click the waveform where you want a cue. Or play and hit the tag buttons when you hear the spot.
Hover over a marker and drag left/right to fine-tune. Zoom in for sample-level precision.
Click Save. Tags are written back to the file and synced to StationPlaylist on your next import.
Common questions about Visual Segue Editor.
WAV, MP3, WMA, M4A, AAC, FLAC, and MP2 — including RCS Master Control WAV (MPEG Layer 2) files, which are decoded and played back automatically. Everything you use in broadcast.
Yes. VSE reads and writes StationPlaylist's native tag format. Open a file in StationPlaylist, work on it in VSE, save it back. StationPlaylist picks up the changes on the next import. 100% compatible with SPL 6.1 and later.
Yes. VSE never overwrites your file in place. When you save, it builds the complete updated file alongside the original and swaps it in only once it is written in full. If a save is interrupted — a power cut, a network drop, a failing drive — your original file is left untouched, not half-written. Every existing tag on the file is preserved exactly; only the cue points you edited change.
Yes, for cue points. Configure VSE to see your RadioDJ database in settings, and pick tracks from your library. This will make it easy to edit Cue, Intro, Hook and Segue on the waveform. Saving writes straight back to the RadioDJ database. Your audio files are not modified at all.
Cue points are the only thing VSE changes in RadioDJ. Artist, title, album, air dates and day-part restrictions are left alone — edit those in RadioDJ itself.
Yes. One licence covers up to 3 Windows installs in a single location — your production computer, your scheduler, and your PD's office are all covered.
Low. If you've used a DAW or audio editor before, you'll be placing cue points in minutes. The interface is straightforward.
No, but it's a solid alternative for many workflows. VSE now does bulk Cue and Outro audio level scanning — it finds good points automatically and you can visually confirm or refine them on the waveform. TrackTool has more advanced detection algorithms and BPM calculation, which some stations prefer. Many use both: TrackTool for algorithmic bulk scanning, VSE for visual editing and confirmation.
Yes, and you do not have to install it first. Unzip the download, then unzip the VisualSegueEditorv2.zip inside it straight onto your stick — that is the program itself, no installer needed. Add an empty file called portable.txt next to VisualSegueEditorv2.exe and VSE2 keeps its settings, licence and logs in its own folder, writing nothing to the computer it is running on. The licence travels with the stick, so you register once and it counts as a single installation however many machines you plug it into.
Check the download page for current pricing. One-time purchase, no subscription. A free demo version lets you save five files per session so you can test it before buying.
No. All v1.x users get v2 for free and can use their existing serial number.
Yes, through the Audio Device menu. Pick any output (WASAPI, DirectSound, MME, ASIO), even during playback. Your choice is saved for next time.

We wanted to make sure v2 was a complete refresh, not just a minor update. The new spectral view, bulk scanning, and RadioDJ support took time to implement and test. We also rewrote the waveform engine for speed and memory efficiency. We ended up writing our own metadata encoding/decoding engine to support StationPlaylist, and because of that we were able to add support for additional file formats instead of just MP3. Another thing we had to implement was the date restrictions (which had a lot of work done through trial and error and observation). It was a constant pain point that we needed to solve for ourselves - to allow for mass date changes that fitted in our own workflow. (yyyymmdd date parsing is our jam - just saying.) It'd been battle-tested secretly for a long while, and we think it was worth the wait. We hope you like it.
Free demo: save five files per session. Full licence: unlimited saves. Download, test, buy if it works for you.
Minimum requirements: Windows 10 64-bit, .NET 8.0 Runtime, screen 1024x768 or larger.
Unzip the download and run the setup.exe file. Windows may show a security warning (the app is not code-signed); that's normal and you can ignore it. Make sure you're not running from a read-only path, as registration requires write access.
