BroadWave for Windows

User Reviews

• Product works, but not free

  jslussser12/14/2012

  Pros

  Works great when working...

  Cons

  It's not free. I have the required links to their sites on my web page but they will not provide the code. In addition, it spams my streaming computer with the "buy it now" links each time the computer is rebooted, even though I'm not running the streaming software. I'm hoping I can find somewhere to effectively complain of their misleading advertisement.

  Summary

  I wouldn't buy this if hell froze over. They will NOT respond to e-mails and questions about the "FREE" issue.

• It has taken over my PC

  Wings921268/21/2012

  Pros

  Don't know. I want it off my PC.

  Cons

  Keeps popping up in unexpected places. Uninstall worked for a while, then it magically appeared again. Unintalled again and cleared out of startup. Rebooted, and then it showed up again after a while.

  Summary

  It's OUR computers, not Broadwave's. If you don't want go give up control over your PC don't install it.

• Been using this software for a while.

  shultzieWV7/19/2010

  Pros

  Very stable, easy to use. I have been using it to broadcast my online scanner for sometime now.

  Cons

  May not have some of the features other more expensive platforms have but it is very good for the price. Customer support is great.

  Summary

  I think of this software more as a utility. It does a great job of getting audio out onto the net. Keeping this in mind if you are wanting to put together an online radio station you may want more flexibility with the music library. I personally have not used this side of it much going more for live audio feeds (scanners, radios).

• This Streaming Audio Server Program Rocks be on bellief

  newrockclassics7/16/2010

  Pros

  It does all the work for you, in audio files mode it streams, manually created playlists with ease and even has a loop feature for constant play. Plus one nice feature is the ability to start on contact by a listener

  Cons

  It would be 6 stars if it had one feature.....the ability to rearrange the audio files in a more random order without going thru the trouble of always having a playlist

  Summary

  Excellent product for online radio broadcasting

• nice but ehh...

  djblalock5/31/2009

  Pros

  Stream live, easy to use, new-broadcaster friendly, No ads played live, set up a playlist of any music files

  Cons

  have to pick between pre-recorded or live, sometimes scratchy, not much features, have to purchase support, banner ad in Win. Media player

  Summary

  It was easy to use, but eventually I got tired of it... it will make you want to pay about 300$ for SAM Broadcaster ; ) But nice feature for first-time broadcasters that don't want to pay to broadcast!

• Spyware (wish I could give less than 1 star)

  Ocvist9/25/2007

  Pros

  Cons

  Installed and had a bunch of windows pop up on the screen. Closed them, went to programs. What I found there was a bunch of links (about 30) to different programs, including telephony services. There was no warning or option to opt out from the installation. Removing the software (using Add or Remove Programs) removed only the core software leaving the rest of that garbage behind and had to be deleted manually.
