   This component posts tracks at the probability of the value set in the slide bar. e.g. if you select 1, post all tracks. If you select 100, post tracks at a probability of 1/100. But because of a probability, as much as one might not be posted even if it plays by 100 tracks.

   If selected, no information will be post to tracks that are not in the media library.

Limitation

Now, the client name sets "from Web". I want to set "from foo_twitter_post", but it is uncertain.

-> 2009/04/21 The client name was updated from "from web" to "from foo_twitter_post" by Twitter API Support Team.
