Featuring artists

Hi Torben,

What is the correct way to use the standard rules for music planning in mAirlist? Right now, when I play a song by DJ Sava + Irina Rimes, it plays Irina Rimes - Visele and DJ Sava - Tenerife again in the same hour, which is unwanted behaviour!

What is the correct way to feature artists? Feat. ft. featuring, &, &&, + or which words are supported by mAirlist? Or is there maybe a way to add such words myself. I know there is a group Editor but with 3000 songs in our database it will be rather time consuming to add every artist at that window.

Thanks,
Dennis

The only way this can be achieved is done manually in mAirlist DB: Administration - Configuration - Mini-Scheduler - Artist Groups. Here you need to put the names which should be separated.
For instance: Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits etc.

To overcome this problem we always mention just one artist like this: Mark Ronson - Uptown Funk (ft. Bruno Mars) This won’t prevent the next song being a Bruno Mars song however.

Use & as the separator, not +. Then it should work without any manual artist groups.

Is there a way to do so without having to edit 3000 tracks manually?

Using a string replace function in SQL perhaps?

Hi Torben,

The & symbol is crashing my PHP-scripts. Is there any other separator I could use?

Thanks,
Dennis

Why not just fix the PHP scripts? urldecode?
