1. I will put on my to do list, but at the moment it's not high on the list. As we're nearing a holiday period, I'm quite busy at work and won't get a chance to review this until late January 2009.

2. When you say the deck loading is slow, how slow is it (1 second, 2 seconds, etc...)? Also, where are your files located and what kind of network exists between the server (remoteplayerhost), the database (bphostservice) or SQL server depending on how you installed the client, and the client? Even over the network, it shouldn't take more than 1 second to cue a song in one of the players.

3. In regards to PANIC playlists, I believe it is not required, as long as you have a properly setup schedule. As part of your scheduling, even if you have a schedule where a DJ will be using the radio automation software, Broadcast Power, in assisted mode, you should still have a program element with an automation rule attached to it. So if the DJ wants to leave the system for an emergency, all he has to do is click on the AUTOMATE button and that would play what you call a PANIC list. Further, usually you would have commercials scheduled in your radio automation software at predefined intervals during any program, so you would normally have in Broadcast Power a schedule with commercials set as Program entries. The commercial audio would them be scheduled using the commercial editor. So your schedules exist and all you have to do is create Programs between the commercials with an automation rule. You can use copy/paste. If you have a lot of Programs to paste, you can select multiple programs (hold the shift button when selecting Programs for copying) and then paste them inside the Schedule.
