I can think of a few reasons WHY you might want to choose an alternative to SAM Broadcaster Pro or Studio 1) Lousy Customer Support: When SAM Broadcaster goes wrong (and it will) don't expect to get much help from Spacial Audio: Even the forums and social media accounts were staffed by people who didnt really care about the software. People have even taken to Social media to vent their frustrations at not getting much in the way of support. @Spacial Audio are the worst software company I have EVER come across I really feel cheated because I never expected @Spacial Audio to be so Deceptive I don't have to make Spacial Audio look Incompetent they manage to do that all by themselves Spacial Audio's parent company must be so Proud of the way they operate? IMHO: Triton Digital need to put Spacial Audio out of business. Update March 2023: Spacial Audio have made the Support forums a READ ONLY resource. Limiting your opti...

Q: Have you ever noticed the amount of CPU that SAM Broadcaster Pro uses? Users have reported that they cannot run SAM Broadcaster Pro without it taking up the computers CPU & resources. I'm running a machine with 8GB RAM and SAM Broadcaster Pro is taking up most of the Memory and the CPU is up at 70%-80% making the PC sluggish Users shouldn't be having those sort of issues on newer machines with that amount of RAM. Ever since the early days SAM Broadcaster Pro has always required huge amounts of the CPU and Memory. SAM Broadcaster locked up in the middle of a radio show it would always max out my CPU when I least wanted it or needed it too Fact: SAM Broadcaster Pro requires a restart after it locks up and freezes. I often had to use task manager to exit the software Fact: SAM Broadcaster Pro is a very system intensive piece of software. It requires a lot of the systems time and resources Fact: SAM Broadcaster Pro has been known to slam the CPU ...

I wrote an article about the amount of Tweets there were with people offering keys and cracks for SAM Broadcaster Pro It still shows no sign of slowing down, There are still people trying to hawk the latest versions. Between 2014 and 2019 approx 211,080 people looked at the posts about SAM Broadcaster Pro cracks on my website. If all those hits had been potential customers of Spacial Audio Solutions that would mean $63,112,920 in lost sales! You can see how bad the problem is just from the figures. Its a big issue with radio automation software that requires registration keys or activations Has anyone got any SAM Broadcaster Pro Master Keys? We think this is because some people who get into Internetradio as a hobby can't afford $$$ for radio playout software? Nothing changes I see Tweets on an almost daily basis. It proves there are IDIOTS out there desperate to get an illegal copy of SAM Broadcaster The Spacial Audio user zone is th...

Saw a post on social media from someone stating that their copy of SAM Broadcaster has been "FIXED" Now their station is back on air they have no listeners returning to their stream. SAM Broadcaster costing station owners listeners is nothing new! This has been happening with SAM for years now. SAM Broadcaster seems to go wrong for NO apparent reason. When SAM Broadcaster goes wrong any listeners you had will move onto another station while you're off air 'fixing' things. What's worse is those listeners may never return to your stream and that's the last thing you need when running an Internet radio station. I often see reports of SAM Broadcaster crashing or not activating. SAM has been acting crazy lately. It crashes from time to time and PAL scripts fail to run properly However its RARE for me to see people having major issues with RadioDJ. PAL scripts cause memory leaks if they're not written properly which can cause SAM Broadcas...

I recently thought I'd install & see if anything changed with the latest version of SAM Broadcaster Pro SADLY IT HADN'T I started SAM Broadcaster after I configured it connected it to Shoutcast pressed play and off it went or so I thought. I got called away to help a neighbour with something & I was only gone from the computer for 10/15 minutes IF that. When I came back my stream was silent NOTHING was playing just dear air. I looked on the computer & an error message said SAM Broadcaster had STOPPED WORKING you know, that really annoying error! I had it on a clean and fresh install of Windows 11 only Sam Broadcaster was installed After testing SAM Broadcaster Pro it froze displaying the usual critical error (Unexpected Exception Occurred) After 20 years those SAM Broadcaster problems should be a thing of the past Nothing has changed with SAM Broadcaster It's still prone to crashing without warning Why do people s...

SAM Broadcaster in its various flavours (Pro/Studio) can cost between $299 and $699 I could understand the price tags if SAM was worth buying but it isn't its a really awful unstable piece of software. SAM Broadcaster was first developed in 1999 by some hobby broadcasters SAM still suffers from the same errors and issues it had when v1.3 came out I tried using SAM Broadcaster way back in 1999 when I was first looking for audio playback software. You couldn't add a huge folder of music into version 1.3 the software it would freeze and then crash if you tried to do that. When SAM v2.x.x came out with a redesigned GUI I thought it wasn't worth the price tag they were charging ($199) Stability isn't something you get from SAM Broadcaster Pro it crashes and burns frequently. SAM Broadcaster had so much promise but the developers behind the software became lazy. They don't seem interested in fixing the bugs or improvi...

Saw a Blog post from Spacial Audio. Seems like they've finally acknowledged there are major flaws with SAM Broadcaster We are sorry that you are having trouble with the application and we want to help you resolve this problem as swiftly as possible In order to do achieve this, the more specific information you can provide the more likely it is we can solve the problem quickly The blog post goes onto give examples of common errors that SAM Broadcaster throws up every now and then. If you've used SAM Broadcaster for a long time you will no doubt have ran into a serious violation type error every now and then. Don't say you haven't because that would be a big fat hairy LIE! So why the sudden change of attitude by Spacial Audio? They've gone from years of burying their heads in the sand to suddenly wanting to fix problems within their software. The program still has the same glaring bugs it had way back in 200...

This was a question I saw askd by someone on a Forum. Q: SAM Broadcaster Pro: How good is it? A: IMHO It's not a very good piece of software & it's not worth the $299 & $699 pricetags SAM Broadcaster can be extremely tricky for a novice to setup it gets confusing having 5 different database options on first run. Firebird is the worst of the database options and is flaky and unstable. Firebird can only hold around 50,000 tracks in its database so no good if you have a large library (100K+) of songs I installed SAM Broadcaster with the help of a software engineer We used the included Firebird server That worked well for a few days then SAM wouldn't restart I'd have to start over again reinstalling from scratch SAM fails to the point where it crashes at least once a day Its taking ALL the fun out of this We often hear users reporting crashing/activation issues with SAM Broadcaster often taking stations off air for a few...

SAM Broadcaster Pro comes with Five different options of database to install (MySQL and MariaDB are practically the same thing) Firebird - MariaDB - MySQL - PostgreSQL - MSSQL Firebird appears to be the most unstable database of the options you're given. SAM Broadcaster 2020.2 on Firebird has been crashing every 2-5 days I regularly see users having stability issues using SAM Broadcaster Pro with the Firebird database. I installed SAM Broadcaster with the help of a software engineer We used the Firebird server That worked well for a few days Then SAM wouldn't restart SAM fails more and more now to the point where it crashes at least once/twice a Week Its taking the fun out of my hobby We often see users complaining that Firebird in SAM Broadcaster Pro has crashed on them and that they've lost all their data. I tried installing Firebird for SAM Broadcaster Pro but it didn't work Firebird only allows you to load a maximu...

As the title of the blog post would suggest SAM Broadcaster crashes when .XML files get corrupted. It can be frustrating when SAM goes wrong for no apparent reason. Sounds like a broken SAMBC.core.xml file Try uninstalling and reinstalling SAM Broadcaster Although you will lose all of your program settings SAM Broadcaster Pro relies on .xml files for its operation it only takes one of those files to become corrupt and SAM does a disappearing act How the XML files become corrupt in SAM Broadcaster is anyones GUESS! RadioDJ also relies on .xml files for backend & plugin functions & I've NEVER had RadioDJ crash like SAM. Trying to get SAM Broadcaster to work but it crashes within 24 hours FACT: RadioDJ performs 100 times better than SAM Broadcaster Pro Soundcards and Disc drives were the main culprits wh...
