mAirList 4.0 offers various exciting new features, including graphical cueing, improved backtiming, multi-level playlist scheduling, and encoder regionalization. For more information on the new features, see this Wiki article.

That Wiki article also covers the current release schedule, and upgrade and pricing information will be announced there, too, as soon as it’s available, so you should monitor the Wiki for the latest news regarding mAirList 4.0. (Note that this is a brand-new Wiki – the old one is now read-only, and we will transfer all important articles to the new one shortly.)

Please note that the upgrade to mAirList 4.0 will not be free even for existing owners of a v3.x license, but there will be special upgrade offers. If you buy a license for mAirList 3.x now (or have done so in the near past – exact conditions to be announced later), you will receive a free upgrade in any case.

For all comments on the new release, a new thread in the support forum has been started. We’re looking forward to hearing what you think.
