For that reason, I made sure that the the last item in the end filler was longer than the current time slot allotment. I had measured precisely the time needed for that last item. Looks like my assumption might have been incorrect. Before trying Liquidsoap, I had tried Campcaster. It would not do the job for two reasons: first it was not a static scheduler. Second, it uses a gui interface. Very nice app for DJs and those who need a dynamic scheduler. I also looked at Airtime, but it still would not fit the bill. I've also looked at Soma and a bunch of others. Same problems. Liquidsoap does the scheduling quite nicely. >> Btw, do I need 'track_sensitive=true' in my 'Switch Schedule'? > > Depends what you want, but from your other mail it looks like you want > shows to start exactly at the expected time.

Now it works great - the transitions are little on the *abrupt* side, but, oh well, at least it works. It sure would be nice to have a smooth transition! I finally put it online (both at 32 mono). http://RuralCatholicRadio.com:8000/icogg-32 http://RuralCatholicRadio.com:8002/icmp3-32 On our homepage, at the bottom, I've added a link: 'powered by Liquidsoap' Thanks for all your help, David and Romain!
