"Not for Pro Audio"
Version: SAM Broadcaster Firebird edition (32 bit) 3.2
Pros
Has easy to use interface, all the right tools. File transfers are fairly simple.
Cons
This is a very unstable program. Requires constant re-booting and 15 round boxing matches with SQL servers. Also, forget about using any usb outboard gear such as an external audio interface.
Summary
Paying 300 clams(v.4) for this program and then being forced to use discount store booms and mics just does not make sense. This is good for playing your personal favorites over the net but not for any serious on air projects.

"It's a very well developed music broadcasting software."
Version: SAM Broadcaster Firebird edition (32 bit) 4.7.4
Pros
It allows a good bit of music.
Cons
Nothing, really.
-
"When SAM crashes - and it will - you're screwed."
Version: SAM Broadcaster Firebird edition (32 bit) 4.7.3
Pros
Relatively easy to configure. Allows re-naming tracks, creating different folders and then pointing to them as needed.
Cons
In the past 4 months, our SAM. has crashed TWICE, meaning that every single change made - naming tracks, adding info to tracks, setting the frequency (0-100) - vanished, and we had to start from scratch. Months of work wasted! No customer support.
Summary
Although the actual music files on your hard drive are unaffected, there is no way to back up all the information and configuration you add to your tracks in S.A.M. if it crashes - and judging by our experience, it WILL crash at some point. AVOID!

"Internet Dj must"

Pros

Cons

Summary
Great for radio station on Internet
-
"The software is extremely user-friendly."
Version: SAM Broadcaster Firebird edition (32 bit) 4.3.6
Pros
I believe that my web clients in the music production and mass communication fields will enjoy the ease of use. The sound quality is great.
Cons
I have not encountered problems with this product/service as of yet. If I do, the tech support appears to be extremely high-tech and will have a solution.
Summary
All that is needed to make this program a success is a team of persistent people, the right compatible software and time to test and document as you are implementing this broadcasting product. From there, it should be music, news feeds, announcements or what ever it is you want/need a personal radio station for.
