Sam Broadcaster Pro Has Cost Me Listeners

-
Saw a post on social media from someone stating that their copy of SAM Broadcaster has been "FIXED"

Now their station is back on air they have no listeners returning to their stream.

SAM Broadcaster costing station owners listeners is nothing new!

This has been happening with SAM for years now. SAM Broadcaster seems to go wrong for NO apparent reason.

When SAM Broadcaster goes wrong any listeners you had will move onto another station while you're off air 'fixing' things.

What's worse is those listeners may never return to your stream and that's the last thing you need when running an Internet radio station.

I often see reports of SAM Broadcaster crashing or not activating.

SAM has been acting crazy lately. It crashes from time to time and PAL scripts fail to run properly
However its RARE for me to see people having major issues with RadioDJ.

PAL scripts cause memory leaks if they're not written properly which can cause SAM Broadcaster to CRASH & BURN

RadioDJ is more robust than SAM Broadcaster and doesn't crash and burn. I hardly ever hear of a station losing listeners on a RadioDJ stream. SAM Broadcaster has never worked as it was designed.
SAM Broadcaster started freaking out buzzing sounds, electronic digital hysteria

In other words, It knocked me off the air

I had no end of frustrations with SAM Broadcaster over the 10+ years I used it

I don't have any frustrations using RadioDJ.

How To Install RadioDJ

One user of RadioDJ had v1.8.2 running for 4 years

Don't know about you but I'd call that ULTRA reliable

I can leave RadioDJ alone to automate my music stream every day of every week of every year.

I was lucky to get through a day without something going wrong with SAM Broadcaster

SAM Broadcaster is the WORST piece of software I have ever used!

SAM Broadcaster has NO place in a professional radio studio

Save yourself the headaches don't even contemplate SAM Broadcaster when choosing software for your online radio station.

IMHO SAM Broadcaster isn't worth the $299/$699 price tags.
