Features and Improvements

Playlists and filters now show a summary at the bottom of the page indicating the number of tracks and the total duration of those tracks. The summary will also display the number and total duration of selected tracks which is especially useful to quickly gauge how a long playlist will play so you can better plan your schedule.

Tracks in the queue will now display the Estimated Time to Air when in the “Auto” or “Columns” view. You can also hide this column from view from the “+” icon at top-right.

In rare cases, there was a prolonged time lapse between history items in the “History” area. This was due to a timezone parsing issue and has been fixed

When previewing and muting a track, in some cases when playing the live stream the station stayed muted. This has been resolved.

We made various small changes to the SAM Broadcaster Cloud interface including Academy updates, fixing the History area that sometimes showed “null” and renaming the DJ Permissions tab to DJ management.
