No Updates in 12 Months (SAM Broadcaster Pro)
I'd link to it but Spacial Audio have blocked reffers from this site.
I couldn't help but notice there have been ZERO UPDATES of SAM Broadcaster Pro and Studio since 7th April 2025
No doubt Spacial will have still have been charging the Yearly subscriptions while doing Sweet FA to their software.
A former SAM user posted this on the RadioDJ forums:
From what I can see SAM Broadcaster Pro hasn't changed in 20 years
I contemplated going back to SAM Broadcaster but Spacial said my "Lifetime License" is no longer Lifetime Yes thats right Your Product Key is now only valid for a YEAR and you need to pay Spacial Audio BLOOD money to renew that key.
Plus they put it on Auto Renew using Cleverbridge and if you don't cancel the auto renewal Spacial will take $299 or $699 out of your account without asking
$299-$699 Per Year to use a piece of Awful Bug filled software
NO THANK YOU!
The SAM Broadcaster GUI hasn't been updated for quite some time and is pretty much in the same state it was 20/25 years ago.
RadioDJ has no subscriptions and is free and blows SAM Broadcaster out of the Water!
I can see why more and more users are switching to RadioDJ if the Development team at Spacial have no passion for their software then you can't blame the users for jumping ship.
I have RadioDJ installed on multiple Windows Computers and all instances run like clockwork and have stable uptimes of over a month.
RadioDJ has had 4 stable updates in the year to date.
SAM Broadcaster is clearly trash & Spacial Audio don't seem interested in updating their sofware and they certainly dont appear to be interested in fixing its BUGS and Stability issues.
STOP BUYING SAM BROADCASTER FROM SPACIAL AUDIO SOLUTIONS
I used SAM Broadcaster about 16 years ago
This is the last time I'm going to SAY THIS
