Queue

From SpacialAudio

Jump to: navigation, search

The Queue list contains the list of songs scheduled for play in the order listed. The songs play from top to bottom, and a song is removed from the queue as soon as it is loaded inside a player deck. The Queue allows a DJ to make a list of songs well in advance - no more searching for the next song at the last second! This can be found in SAM Broadcaster and SAM Party DJ.
