Every radio requires a player. If you decide on the good old Winamp, which is still practical to use, it is important to know that you have various types of add-ons in its settings.
If you set it to mix songs, after the end of the song, the next song starts immediately. It is important not to forget that every song, when opened in an audio editor, has a few seconds of silence at the end.
Why is this crucial? For instance, if you schedule a music block to be exactly one hour long, Winamp's gapless playback will effectively "eat up" those moments of silence at the end of each track. This means your one-hour program could actually end up being only 59 minutes long, depending on how many songs are played and the duration of the silence each one contains.
This is important if you use a lot of playlists and music in your program, so some parts of your program may be broadcast at the wrong time.
