I know that the database is a lower pirority but i do miss some things in it.
I have in my database uptempo records slow records and so on
it is not so nice to hear a fast record followed by a slow record in the non-stop houres. Can you add a option that it select automaticly all the uptempo records or slow . or before the record put a fast to slow jingle in front of it.
And also missing is when you dubble click on the edit playlist item you have a button for the next record or previous record.
Most likely not to be implemented in the near future.
These kind of relationships between songs (selecting a song based on the properties of the previously selected songs) make the scheduling algorithm much more complex than it is now.
For the computer scientists: It turns the problem from a linear one into an NP-complete one.
For the non computer scientists: Currently, the scheduler can just walk through the template once, find a matching song for each slot, and is done. With inter-song constraints, it can happen that the scheduler walks into a “dead end” where no matching song can be found, then throws away some of the songs that have already been selected and restarts from there.
The naive “backtracking” algorithm for that would be far too slow (and the time would be doubled for each additional item in the template, e.g: 15 songs take 60 seconds, 16 songs take 120 seconds, 17 songs take 240 seconds - exponential growth!).
It is possible to invent an algorithm that finds a “near optimal” playlist with lower complexity (= in less time, and without the exponential growth), but this is something that you cannot do in a day’s work. It’s rather something that you spend months and years on - that’s what the pro scheduling soft manufacturers did.
Ok now i understand . But is it possible to impland an save file , next and previous button in to the scheduler when double klicking on the card file ?
