    This version crashed the player user interface when I tried to do a request.
    The software keeps playing. I restarted the player user interface and was back to normal.

    This version had some lock-up issues due to some internal changes I had made.
    This particular problem has been fixed.

    I used the "toggle pause" functionality.
    The teacher was doing a Night Club Two Step lesson, so I turned on "Show Extra Queues" in the player. I turned on "Switch Queue When Empty". Loaded the playlist into the music queue, selected queue B, loaded a night club two step into queue B, and set queue B for playback. Worked great.

    I brought a router and tried out the mobile marquee as the Allegro's projector is not currently working.
    Only a few people tried it out. I forgot that most people don't know how to use their phone.
    I think the mobile marquee works out better in a venue where there is no other wi-fi available.
  • 2023-5-5: DJ Friday night at the Allegro Ballroom using version 4.3.2.1.
  • 2023-5-12: DJ Friday night at the Allegro Ballroom using version 4.3.2.1.
    I wanted to use the pre-release of 4.3.2.2, but forgot. But the bugs that were extant didn't cause any issues, other than annoying me.

    The toggle buttons are broken in this version. Which is very annoying. Fortunately, I had already found this issue, so I knew beforehand that they would not work.

Re: Real life test of BDJ4

2024-11-1 Halloween setup at the Allegro Ballroom with two DJs. BDJ4 is still new to Diane and she wasn't comfortable using it, so she chose to use BallroomDJ-3.
