UPDATE 4.00 [ 11/02/2017 ]
Major update: A new admin has been introduced. This is designed from the ground up, based on feedback we received over the years for the old one. It is ajax enabled and changes are updated nearly instantly. Because the legacy admin and the new one are not compatible ( are based on different principles ), the change will not be done automatically. But, exported sliders from the old one are converted on import to the new one.
With that in mind, new install will upgrade the new admin directly. And current install will keep legacy admin, until administrators are ready to upgrade. If you want to import your legacy galleries, just export them from the legacy admin, switch to the new one ( from ZoomSounds > Settings > Playlists Mode ) , and import them into the new one.
