In their own words
Go Button
Go Button is an iOS app for creating and running sound cue playlists for live performances on iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. It can play several sounds at once, advance through a cue list with the GO button, or trigger ad-lib effects from Hit buttons. Cues may auto-stop, fade, loop, or duck, with separate volume, pan, speed, and pitch controls. Playback accepts iOS-compatible remotes, Bluetooth keyboards and accessories, MIDI input, OSC commands, and hotkeys. Shows can move through AirDrop or the iOS Files app, arrive from iCloud Drive or Dropbox, and be imported into QLab. Supported audio includes WAV, AIFF, AIFC, M4A, AAC, MP3, MOV, CAF, 3GP, MPEG4 audio, and FLAC; copy-protected files are excluded. It requires iOS 15 or later. The free version costs nothing for one saved playlist; the $99.99, paid once Pro License allows unlimited playlists.
Jingle Palette
Jingle Palette is a free Windows desktop application for playing jingles in radio broadcast studios. It plays MP3, MP2, MP1, MPA, OGG and WAV files or streams; compressed WAV playback requires the appropriate system codec. Users can create unlimited palettes, with up to 30 jingles in each. Playback modes include manual triggering, automixing, autorepeating and touch play. Every jingle can have its own volume and loop settings. A time-announce function can schedule a signal once per hour together with a jingle. The application also plays audio streams through PC networks and the internet. Its graphical interface supports touch screens and can fill the display. A VU meter, clock, calendar and low-remaining-time warning provide playback information. The listed version 4.4.5 supports files on network drives. The site credits H. Árkosi Róbert (nagyrobi) as author and lists a contact email.
