Wiki article on mAirList 4.0: https://www.mairlist.com/wiki/index.php/mAirList_4.0
I must say this looks great ! I cant wait to see how it works ! Graphical Cueing + visual Mix Editor + Playlist Edit Bar looks great ! Thanks dr. Weibert 
Looks great Torben…
If you need a beta tester as well you can count me in…
Congrats with the great work

Looks superb. I was wondering when we would see v4 only the other day. Would love to test.
Thanks.
After reading the V4 Wiki, all I can say is–WOW, WOW, WOW! ;D Looks like great stuff! mAirList just keeps getting better and better!
Are you accepting feature requests for V4 at this time? If so, where should we post?
Regards, Alec M…
Feature requests are always welcome (please use the forum with the same name), but the major feature set for v4.0 is pretty fixed now. Small features might still be added. It actually depends on what you have in mind.
(The problem about major features is that not only they’re time-consuming and tend to delay the release, but there’s always the risk that they break something else, which makes the whole thing even more time-consuming.)
There is one more “killer feature” that hasn’t been mentioned on the Wiki page yet, because I’m not sure if it will make it into v4.0. Let’s see…

Would that be VoiceTracking? (or is that disguised under the GUI segue control?)
Sounding realy realy great also that we can edit also from the playlist editor sounding realy great , that was i waiting for , for my station is this a great solution…

No, voice tracking (namely an integrated voice recorder) hasn’t made it into v4.0, but I plan to add it really soon, say in v4.1.
Hi Torben!
Great news. If you need beta tester I can try it 
Some questions / Suggestions:
So I can edit the perfect chaining between these two titles. But at the upcoming scheduling, is this chaining will it be stored?
On two stations you have in common such artists as U2. Is there a rule that allows us to say:
for station 1 if U2 is passed during this hour, I’m not scheduling U2 in the station 2 during separation time (1hour for example)
Graphical Cueing
Very cool feature with waveforms it’s easiest to set cue markers.
Great work congratulations
“We’re not Apple.”
looking good, i think my words on fb were cool.
Sweet, that too me is the killer feature. I also look forward to the more accurate mixdown. I’ve been experimenting with the Linux open source Rivendell and their Voicetracking module works really well and so easy to use, even if the log is on-air. No matter how I play with other software, I always come back to and rely on mAirlist for its power, flexibility, ease of use and stability. 
Many forget that voicetracking is not just for unattended (i.e automation) broadcasting but useful for quickly prepping the next 20 minutes while you answer phones etc. We voicetrack from almost the beginning of a show on either split networks or if On Air for several hours start working backwards and VT the end of the show meeting ourselves somewhere in the middle.
On a split we may vt like this - the station name & freq for each part of the network and then the same live link for all stations before a vt out (again for each seperate station). Concentration is the name of the game.
This looks amazing! Voice-tracking would also be a big plus, but CAD’s VTing script does the job for now in v3
You can also count me in as a beta-tester if you need another.
Looks awesome! Am happy to be a beta tester if needed…
Yes, think of IVP in V4 as doing your ‘initial VT prep.’ including the volume envelopes which. in V4, you WILL be able to edit visually (woo hoo!). You can then use the graphical editor to ‘fine tune’ the segues created by IVP. 
Which I think gives you the best of both worlds: the total flexibility of a graphical editor combined with a ‘semi-intelligent robot’ (IVP) to do all the annoying and time-consuming stuff needed to get a VT’d Playlist ready for you to edit and ‘tweak.’
Obviously my opinion on this may be slightly biased, but I stand by it and would say that even if someone else had written IVP!
My gripe with other systems is that everything is pretty much manual (too much effort), and the ‘auto segues’ in other systems tend to be like your standard mAirList Automation mode ‘crossfades,’ and often without proper control of volume envelopes (if any!).
