I run a popular Latin radio station on the Net. I need software that allows me to control my playlists. There is nothing more infuriating than trying to work with a piece of software that won't let me have this control. When I want to drag and drop a song entry into a playlist, I want it to go exactly where I put it, and to play exactly when I schedule it. SAM 3 does not allow this. I have tried in many different ways using a playlist made in SAM 2. If you want to change a playlist or queue that you've previously made, forget it!

When you drag and drop a playlist entry into a playlist, SAM3 puts it at the bottom of the playlist. Dragging it back up to where you want it to play does not work. It simply pops back down to the bottom when it comes up for play.

I have worked with a lot of audio players, most of them FREE. Audion, iTunes, Winamp, Megaseg, and many others, allow drag and drop. I should also be able to move an entry around in a playlist. SAM3 won't let me do that either. As you know, a track title in a playlist is a shortcut to the actual file. When you drag or copy a song entry from one playlist to another, the information to find the path to the file goes with the shortcut. That is normal in every single audio player I have ever used, but NOT in SAM3.

The people who designed SAM3 have left out some very basic functions that every audio player has. Worse, the player does not do what the Help files say it will do. This is software design at its very worst.
