Hi, Yes, 3.3 will work with Studio 4.33. In fact, future 3.x releases will contain features and bug fixes from 4.0 series. Cheers, Joseph

I only have that one version myself.

This maintenance release includes one bug fix and a little surprise (I think it is actually a huge one). In addition, for our adventurers, the second November 2014 snapshot of version 4.0-dev is also available for testing (read below for more information). To read more about version 3.3 and to download the add-on , go to: http://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/StationPlaylist.en.html What's new in add-on 3.3: * For users of SAM encoders: some people reported the following: if you switch away from SAM encoder window and switch back, you cannot perform encoder commands such as F12 (stream labeler). This has been fixed. * A huge Thanksgiving gift/surprise: as you know, if you use screen readers with SAM Encoders, you had to stay on the encoder window until the encoder is connected to a streaming server. I'm happy to announce that this is no longer the case starting from add-on version 3.3. After installing add-on 3.3 and later, you can work on other things from other programs while NVDA is keeping an eye on connection attempt messages. Also, if you told Studio to play the first track after connecting to a streaming server, you don't have to worry about playing intros for your show while you do other things such as sending and receiving tweets. One reminder though: you don't want to exit or restart NVDA while connection is in progress - you may restart NVDA after connection has been made (and preferably while a track is playing). Now the fun part: the second November snapshot of 4.0-dev is packed with new features and bug fixes designed to gather early feedback before releasing public beta (the first public beta is scheduled for mid-December). For our adventurous users, please remember that 4.0-dev is a work in progress, so please don't try it in a production environment. Also, note that SPL 4.33 is no longer supported starting from this snapshot. Here's what's new in the new 4.0-dev snapshot (which can be downloaded from the link above): * Encoder bug fixes and surprise: The same bug fix and the surprise also applies to SPL Encoder. * SPL Encoder connection messages: NVDA will now detect that you entered a wrong password (SPL Encoder does show a message saying password for the server failed). In addition, SPL Encoder support is available for those using StationPlaylist Streamer. * Braille Timer: you can now monitor track intros with braille. If you press Control+Shift+X, NVDA will step through the following four options: braille track ending, braille track intros, braille both track endings and intro endings, and braille timer off (default). So if you set your end of track alarm to 45 seconds, NVDA will braille remaining time for the track starting from 45 seconds till end of track (this works in Studio window). Future enhancement will relax this requirement, allowing you to monitor end of track at all times as long as you are focused in the Studio window. * SPL Assistant: due to popular request, the S command to show track scheduled time now announces the exact time when the track will begin playback (e.g. 00:15:20 if the next track is set to broadcast at that time). * SPL Controller: two new commands were added, including remaining time for the track ( command is R) and enable microphone without fade (N). Also, beeps will be heard when you turn microphone on or off via SPL Controller layer. A more powerful and simpler SPL Controller is on its way for next major release after 4.0. * Microphone alarm: if you left your mic on for a while, NVDA will now play an alarm sound to let you know of this fact (by default, microphone alarm is off; to configure this, press Control+NVDA+4). This setting is permanent. * Library scan: fixed a bug where a user would accidentally enable library scan twice. Please feel free to test 4.0-dev snapshots (if you are curious about it or would like to send early feedback). Thanks, and enjoy the rest of the weekend and the holidays. Cheers, Joseph
