SAM Broadcaster Freezes While Adding Music?

-
I first used SAM Broadcaster way back when v1.3 came out in 1999.

Streaming Audio Manager

One thing that bugged me about Streaming Audio Manager is that it always FROZE while adding music into the software.

Adding files is a very time consuming process and SAM freezes for a while

It won't transition to the next song until the folder scan is done

Back in v1.3 If I tried adding a large folder of music to the software it would cause the program to crash.

It was exactly the same with versions SAM Broadcaster 2/3/4

The reason SAM freezes is down to the fact that the software suffers from bad MEMORY LEAKS!

Plus the software is well known for using lots of the computers resources & CPU.

SADLY 20+ years later the same thing is still happening in Spacial Audio's SAM Broadcaster software.

Saw this on Social media recently.

I'm making headway adding music & jingles to SAM but it keeps freezing

The Fact Its happening in newer versions of SAM Broadcaster should be ring alarms with anyone purchasing Spacial software.

This isn't an issue I've ran into with a other radio playout software.

RadioDJ Directory import

I can import a music folder into RadioDJ while a song is playing away and it doesn't affect the playback.

RadioDJ can run for weeks and months whereas with SAM Broadcaster you're lucky if you get 1 day uptime.
