Your station set up / Software preferences

Hi guys

Was just wondering if we could maybe share our prefered station set up.
I use SAM for automation and when broadcasting live, I use PCDJ or BPM studio linked to a second PC with Edcast.

I've had problems with SAM recently, and dont have a back up copy. think I need a total fresh install of everything.
I'm planning resetting up the studio this week and clearing out the PCs etc and was thinking about maybe changing software too.
What do you guys recommend?
I'd be interested to know your preferences?
Are there any good free softwares out there these days?
Thanks
Rab

When we do occasionally stream we use :

Software :
Mac OS X + Nicecast + Traktor DJ Studio.

Hardware :
Mac Mini + M-Audio Audiophile Firewire Sound Card + Faderfox DJX2 Midi controller.

I also prefer SAM Broadcaster (Registered version) without any problems. I have also been tinkering with DirEttore and ZaraRadio a bit as well, both of which are free.
