Large Playlist Freezes RadioDJ?

Someone tweeted me recently to say they were going to try RadioDJ free radio play out software. Later on I received this Post: @DJGaryBaldy After spending time with RadioDJ it isn't looking good It Can't seem to handle loading a large playlist without freezing Marius the author of the software stated this before on the forums about playlists: I don't recommend you to load a single large playlist Otherwise it will slow the program down The user went on to mention the number 25,000 in a later Tweet regarding loading the playlist into Winamp.

It would be handy to have Spotify and RadioDJ linked with playlists and libraries but that is never likely to happen. Rebroadcasting music from Spotify on your Internet radio station is against their Terms and Conditions and that's down to how the service is licenced by the various Royalty collection agencies There are other ways to get music from Spotify Into RadioDJ but even then that would mean Piracy.
