hi guys
does anybody of you have any experiences with the programs i have mentioned in topic descripition?
does mAirlist accept the intro cues from station playlist or do i have to set them with mairlist to get a good automation?
i would be happy about any feedback 
Youāll need to set your intro/outro points in mAirList, unfortunately. Torben has enabled support for Raduga ~ style overlaps, and I dare say he could include an option for SPL intro filenames (artist - title#5.mp3 for a 5s intro). But you should do all your marker editing within mAirList.
Scheduling playlists is easy - Just select M3U Standard from the playlist type in SPL. Iāll upload a screenshot of my SPL Creator Options tab later on.
That filename scheme looks simple. Have we discussed this before? Not a big deal to include support for it.
Torben,
Just another add-on to this - SPLās āintro toolā now supports itās own ID3 tag, the file renaming was the old way. If you want a sample file with the SPL tags in, Iāll put a link to one with my screenshots for Michel a little later on.
Yes, please.
BIG THX in advance mateā¦
yeah iāve downloaded the v4.03 demo and itās a really good low cost software i think.
the only thing i would recommand is a schedule plan when a song wwas played and when it will be playedā¦an indiviuadl song repeat control would be fantastic on that one.
iāve waited for radiodb to be developed on but at the moment weāre are ready to lift up with our web radio station in about 3-4 weeks and i canāt wait any longer.
Big UP to Torben for making a lot of new features possible so fastā¦
Hereās the Options tab for Creator - note that I have duplicated the Hour Header at the bottom-right as the text is quite long.
Each hourly playlist will then have a text-item saying: START OF HOUR 13:00:00 (for 1pm)
Hereās what a Command Break Note looks like:
Hereās the script to run each hour, this will load the ānext hourā playlist (set this to run at 58 mins past for optimal time scheduling)
begin
CurrentPlaylist.LoadFromM3U('C:\PLAYLISTS\' + FormatDateTime('ddd dd mmm - hh', now + 0.04166) + '.m3u', false);
end.
Torben - Hereās a sound file with an Intro and Outro set in the SPL ID3 tag: http://www.supplydj.com/jingle.zip
Thanks. I will have a look at it. Probably not before the weekend, because itās my Dadās birthday today, and a good friendās PhD exam (and party g) tomorrow.
that looks nice and thank you very much for the script charlie.
so we wait for torben to be sober after a long party weekend
decision is takenā¦ will buy station playlist creator
Hi Michel, We/I recommend (and use) the pro version mainly because of the larger number of categories you can specify.
Kind Regards Tony
Yep - The Pro version of Creator is worth it if you want endless music groups and spot/jingle/ad groups etc. I manage with Standard as I donāt do much ācomplexā stuff with my copy. I do have a Pro Studio licence, only because I was one of those who had the earlier version which then became āProā when VTāing was added.
But Creator is a good package, thereās a whole lot of configāing you can do, and itāll generate almost any style of playlist.
We use (pro verions) of creator and studio to:
Schedule individual tracks (to rulesets) and/or in sequence.
Break/ Pause for News
Schedule Live/Streams
Schedule pre-records in sequence or at random
Timed events
Ads
Jingles/Short stories
Schedule repeats of records of live slot from earlier in the day.
Schedule VoiceTracks
Unattended Playout/Scheduling/Recording all On a single Rugby Clock Synched PC (Last re-boot was just short of 3000 hours playout).
Last thing to try is the facilty of scheduling pre-recorded links that tell the track/artist name either before or after song!
kind Regards tony
thanks for the advice tony but i think the standard version like charlie said is the perfect solution for our stationā¦
we donāt need much groups ā¦
but one question leftā¦is there an option to upgrade the software version to a pro version?
Here's the script to run each hour, this will load the "next hour" playlist (set this to run at 58 mins past for optimal time scheduling) [code]begin CurrentPlaylist.LoadFromM3U('C:\PLAYLISTS\' + FormatDateTime('ddd dd mmm - hh', now + 0.04166) + '.m3u', false); end. [/code]
Hi Charlie,
The code works great - but is there any way this could be set up to append the next playlist to the current one, instead of removing all tracks for this hour? When working in conjunction with the hour-jump script, I can say that thisād be more useful to me as a presenter because I can plan ahead to the next hour by loading it at ::45 - and wont lose the rest of my songs for this hour.
Hi, Michel I do not think there is an upgrade option - Contact Ross (the author) he may offer this to you.
radiotaskermilward - reset the event to the desired time and changing the script statement false to true - this should work.
Kind regards tony
Worked a treat.
Thanks
In V2.1.6, this script has stopped running properly.
Error:
Runtime Error: (2,3) Exception: Range Check Error
Any ideas?
radiotaskermilward, did you get this script working again.
kind regards Tony
btw:Is that you Ant?
Snapā¦ I got this error today on the very latest release.
Iām also getting āInvalid Pointerā messages again on the Automation 2 Playlist which has only 1 Player assigned.
I'm also getting "Invalid Pointer" messages again on the Automation 2 Playlist which has only 1 Player assigned.
In which situation?
