Quack! Its a Dead Duck (SAM Broadcaster)

Image
Now I shouldn't be sat here feeling all SMUG but I am... I've been going through bookmarks and came across one that I bookmarked back in the day Google Trends for SAM Broadcaster As you can see from the above graph hardly anyone is searching for SAM Broadcaster anymore it got the sum total of 2 Google searches in July 2024 I'm laughing my backside off at that and yes I realise its me thats done the damage. This blog was setup initally to tell people how bad the SAM software offerings from Spacial Audio are. For Comparison I did a search for RadioDJ trends and RadioDJ has had a steady search history over the past few years. So the way the searches have dropped off a cliff for SAM Broadcaster says to me its a DEAD DUCK in software terms. RadioDJ is superior to SAM Broadcaster in every way shape and form because its FREE and works better than Spacial software

30 Days Uptime (RadioDJ Windows 11)

I've had my Windows 11 laptop switched on for a month just to prove a point about Uptime. I set a rotation in 2045 a month ago and left it to its own devices and when I've been listening to it via Bluetooth the audio has been flawless RadioDJ/MariaDB have been Rock Solid for the past 30 days but all good things must come to an end. The GREAT thing about RadioDJ is once setup it will RUN and RUN and then RUN some more You can get great uptime if you choose the right software for your music output. Even if you only use RadioDJ for a 2 hour show once a week on Windows 11 you should be able to get through a live show without any issues. I shudder to think about the stability problems I had with OTHER SOFTWARE back in the days of Windows XP I'm happy I was able to get 30 days out of my Windows 11 laptop but now it'll be getting switched off when I don't need it Electricity Prices in the (UK) are about to sky
