I am about to recommend ST to an internet radio station having 10 DJs an none of them have heard of about ST or even speak English.

I gave them a demo and they were totally amazed. Unfortunately, none of them are English-speaking and need the documentation in German for them to benefit fully. ST certainly doesn't require a "monkey see, monkey do" type of learning process with respect to ST.

It is critical for you to start and concentrate on the documentation and in particular with examples explaining the default settings.

It is pointless IMHO to mention ST when there is no documentation. It is even worse that when (a) one goes to the web site and finds documentation that at the moment has no relevance (b) the same is with when ST is open.

I like many other have in almost cases it was trial n error that got the setting as we wish/want to have BUT that is inadequate for what I believe as an invaluable product either FM or SAMBC. Giving the tool to the average user without documentation is totally fruitless. Not everyone is technically savvy some more than others but in the general case they require in part the assistance of the documentation in the first instance.

If you recall that 2½ yrs ago i did offer to help with the documentation and with the translations. The offer still stands as now I can make an "online flip-book" for you that you just have to place on your web site. All I need is the PDF for the documentation, once on the web site it can be viewed by the visitor and for those who are registered users be made available for d/l then when changes are forthcoming it is a simple matter of their addition.

Here are some recommendation that I would like to make to you for you to consider. I was happy that you had accepted my previous recommendation that I had made 2½ yes ago for this forum.

(1) create a separate section upon which there are two subcategories
a. for just the beta release versions their change-logs etc. and other relevant/significant changes/developments
b. discussions for for beta releases
(the current section having a page listing size is 54 and IMHO too large)
(2) consider the possible of also having a site license for an internet radio station that has several DJs who all are able to
use ST for their broadcast, in this case I am referring to SAMBC users. The site registration will have not only the radio
station's name but also their URI; this will prevent a DJ who ventures to another or creates their own internet radio
station to use the ST. In addition, it could also be registered to the audio stream's IP address.
(3) I am sure that someone like Botcha ( I truly admire his knowledge) could even help/assist in the documentation by
making videos that is to say tutorial videos for the various sections of ST IF either is in flv or mp4 format then I can
implant then into the 'flip-book' as well.

Granted, the in the initial sense it will take more time to establish or create the associated documentation BUT when all done then further or future additions will become that much easier or even second-nature.

Food for thought, Hans

this is a bit off topic. I was using Bojcha's clubber (soft) present for the bathroom radio, and I must say that I am impressed with it.. it sounds very good.
