Bob Larson said:It's now 2015, and we still have no update. What's happening with the fork idea? Pretty much the only reason we're using Airtime right now is because of cost savings. If we could afford two servers, we would be running SAM or, hell, maybe we'll hookup an iPod connected via the headphone jack -- there's a one server solution. The iPod would be orders of magnitude more reliable than the glorified hodge-podge-pile-of-bugs-front-end-for-LiquidSoap: Airtime. Using Airtime in its current incarnation for a commercial station would be a definite no-no at this point in time. We're a non-profit station, so if our programming isn't perfect and if Airtime is glitchy, it doesn't really matter. For instance, sometimes Airtime will skip back to a previously played song all by itself (you can actually see the highlighted marker jump back). Other times if you add tracks to a show, it will jump back to a previously played song. The UI is complete crap, no Jukebox feature, 24 hour "shows" paradigm is completely stupid, and no play/pause/FF/rewind. It really amazes me how many years this thing has been under development and how awful the software functions. Sourcefabric is not interested in us, the community, and their responses are completely out of touch with reality. I have been involved in many different software circles over the years and have communicated with thousands upon thousands of people both in person and over email, chat, etc., so I know what good communication is. It's not happening here, and I'm not expecting it to.

Most people here do not understand the intricacy of radio and even when they do they are still playing "Devil Advocacy"
I have refereed people to the Airtime Team for support and they have been please.
Please ignore the criers,who fail to garner sufficient knowledge.
Here is a simple example
I have used Untangled for a number of Years.They have a community version where you as an individual with workable solution,you publish it for others and likewise.
I Hope Airtime will see the Commercial value of its software and Do not just call this Open Source but Community Version "Its As Is"and do employ and engineer if you serious about Radio
