Some of the discussions in the forum are funnier than others. Whenever anybody starts a new thread, it seems difficult to predict if this would become a work or an entertainment discussion.What would be good to have is a better separation between the discussions which are for entertainment and the ones which are for work.My suggestion would be a kind of hashtag thingy in the title? So whenever a thread disintegrates into post-midnight-weirdness we could change the discussion title.Any suggestions for a good suffix? Probaby just #fun ?All the best, micz

Airtime is so Kludgy and clunky, and their lack of developer input shows that this project is pretty much looking like it'll eventually fall flat on its face, or forked into something else like a FOSS project without any pro offering.
I still don't understand the absolutely retarded 24 hour show idea. As I've said, it makes zero sense. So, when 1 show ends and the next begins, the last song gets cut off and the next show starts. Why can't you have a 36 hour show or a 128 hour show? Why are shows 24 hours only? The whole ideology around that is totally senseless; it seems like some developer had this wonderful idea to make everything a 24 hour block because that's exactly what people wanted, but all it does is add to the kludgy-ness of Airtime.
To be honest, I wish we had never installed Airtime on our server, because now we're going to have downtime getting rid of it. Also dragging songs into a playlist that's already playing (on air) only works when you maximize the browser window and drag the song up and down over and over again until a space appears in the GUI. I mean, seriously? And the hacks to get an Auto DJ going are ridiculous, as well as that there's no scheduling feature for jingles/bumpers, and the entire GUI is just totally ludicrous. It's like the devs did most everything backwards, a programmer sat down and decided to make airtime without any thought of how real world users would use the software. I really can't see anybody in their right mind paying for this kludge. There's a difference between great software and a kludge. Airtime falls into the kludge category, and the devs don't seem too interested in answering feedback.

A new hope for this Christmas ?
Or an empire strike back from nothing ?
