"Robin Ray v Classic FM Plc". Bailii. [1998] FSR 622. Retrieved 26 February 2016.
Robin Ray v Classic FM Plc "Selector software was in wide use for programming popular music, but required substantial adaptation for use in respect of classical music. After careful examination of alternatives offered by competitors, [Classic FM] in fact in January 1992 chose Selector and it was adapted through the joint efforts of the defendant and RCS. The choice of an automated selection system meant that the tracks to be played had to be categorised by way of certain pre-determined computer fields."

"Is Classic FM really a cause for celebration?", The Telegraph: "People have this idea that it’s all done by a computer ... but that’s not true at all. We use a database of more than 50,000 pieces which our presenters and producers work with. It’s a way of making sure we have a variety of mood and style and artist."
