You Shouldn't Have To Keep Reinstalling Software (SAM Broadcaster Pro)

One of the BIGGEST bug bears I have about SAM Broadcaster Pro is that when something goes wrong it goes BADLY WRONG.

SAM Broadcaster Heartbeat Error

When SAM goes Boom & Bust you have to prat around uninstalling and reinstalling the software just to get it to function.

Almost ready to go LIVE again SAM Broadcaster reinstalled

Database rolling and adding music files & Jingles AGAIN

I witnessed SAM Broadcaster do a disappering act many a time in my 10+ years of using the software.

Because SAM Broadcaster Pro doesn't come with a database backup tool you have rebuild your song database and categories.

Googling the error suggests a Delphi problem SAM is written in Delphi

The fact it is still happening in the 2021 versions should be sounding alarm bells to anyone thinking of purchasing SAM.

This little nugget was recently shared on the Spacial forums:

SAM Broadcaster Pro crashed after four hours of use

Just for the record the record Uptime for RadioDJ is 4 years the fact you cant get 4 hours out of SAM should ring alarm bells

SAM has hardly changed since 2002 give or take a few GUI changes it hasn't seen a great deal of development in recent years.

You DO NOT need to put up with SAM Broadcaster crapping out on you time after time.

Switch to RadioDJ its a lot more stable (even in BETA) than SAM ever could be.

RadioDJ comes with a database backup tool so you never lose your hard work
in the event of something that is out of your control (e.g: Power outage)

Even after a crash caused by a power outage you only need to give your databases a quick repair.

How To Install RadioDJ


I've used RadioDJ since 2010 and I don't suffer with any of the issues
I used to suffer with while trying to stream using SAM Broadcaster Pro

Users of RadioDJ wax lyrical all the time about how GREAT the software is.

RadioDJ is better programmed from the ground up & is coded by someone who has a real passion for what he does.

I don't see any PASSION from Spacial Audio about SAM Broadcaster Pro the marketing team hardly promote the software.

Say GOODBYE to SAM Broadcaster Crashing on you,
You'll thank me when your radio shows go without a HITCH

GUI = Graphical User Interface
