| I also agree very much with the »check events« suggestion—could really save some setup work. |

| Switching off Gap Killer and disable Fades and XFade on the Station IDs usually helps. I even »prefill« the ID3v2 Tags on Liners, Jingles and Drop-Ins with XFade &fie=0&foe=0&xf=0&ge=0 SongType J (or other appropriate letter) (This helps avoiding manual »Song Info« edits on material ... |

| Then again, you can still use PAL’s WebToFile() to get the file(s) onto your local disc. Seems quite reliable here, but only for HTTP protocol: WebToFile('D:\Temp\NextShow.mp3', 'http://some.server.com/shows/show-20081118.mp3'); But I reckon you didn’t want to script, right? (Still the automated/sch... |

| Shouldn’t be much of a problem, though I never tried: Put the SAMReporter folder and all subfolders onto a PHP-enabled web server (check local php.ini for required settings) that has access to your SAM PC’s mySQL database, change SAMReporter/htdocs/config.local.php and SAMReporter/htdocs/dbconfig.xm... |

| I’d suggest keeping all machines sync’ed using NTP stratum 2 (or 3) time server pools (should be exact enough). Since some PC clocks drift a lot , we recommend to our users to sync every hour, and actually distribute a small .reg file (for Windows) to them that sets the correct time servers ( not Wi... |

| Since this is a »Feature Requests« thread, I’d like to mention the following and hope it’ll be fixed soon: 1. When reading/writing MP3 ID3 tags, SAM stores the BPM value in the »XFade« tag, within the »&bmp=« field. Unfortunately, the decimal point character out of Windows' Regional Settings is ... |

And I hope for more support of the Tags that are defined for some things …  It’s actually some work fiddling around with »XFade« in Mp3tag, but fortunately we have RegExp.  |

You’re very welcome, thanks for the feedback!
I usually also try to test things under »stress conditions« but of course one can’t test for each and every kind of setup. So it’s always great to get some feedback. |

| Yeah, sorry, I left the code »as-is« (i.e., German), in order not to introduce some typos. Lines #47 & 51 are the key (it's in the comment at the right even): Change addStr := ' [Hörerwunsch'; // ' [Request' and addStr := addStr + ' von ' + requestBy; // ' by ' to addStr := ' [Request'; // ' [Re... |

| … and unfortunately XFade is language settings-dependant … so I had to convert 22,000 files to work on a German Windows! (The XFade &bmp= [sic] setting for BPM stores the decimal separator that is used in Windows’ regional settings, not a uniform ».«. This is why I had to re-tag all my files to ... |

I usually just stream it down directly from the newscaster, like this: // Sky News.PAL - U.K. news at full hour PAL.Loop := True; PAL.WaitForTime('XX:59:53'); Queue.AddFile('M:\MP3\Other\Jingles\MCH\Moonbase - News 2.mp3', ipTop); Queue.AddURL('http://xxx.xyz.com/newspa... |
