To run along side the awesome script for random selection, im now wondering if we can get some sort of script that shuffles up the music in the playlist. the reason is that i am setting a series of scripts to run at startup so it picks 5x 60’s, 10x 70’s etc. then what i want mairlist to do is shuffle them up so that on automated playback i get a random selection rather than a sequence of just one decade.
I hope that makes sense and i hope somebody here has the brains to be able to create such a script… I do admire your knowledge
Also, is there a way of getting a script that follows a rule such as 2x tracks then a sweeper/jingle?
Another thought is to get a script that analyses a playlists and adds songs accordingly - My thinking is that you could create a generic hour template with “EMPTY MUSIC” files in it. When a script discovers “EMPTY MUSIC” it simply adds in a track from a default directory.
Therefore, you could create a playlist:
HOUR OPENER
EMPTY MUSIC
EMPTY MUSIC
#SWEEPER SCRIPT#
EMPTY MUSIC
EMPTY MUSIC
#SWEEPER SCRIPT#
EMPTY MUSIC
TRAVEL BED
TRAVEL OUTRO
STATION IMAGING
etc etc etc…
As you know, i dont have any scripting knowledge so have no idea as to whether this is something scripting would be able to do.
Thoughts and suggestions???..
Best Wishes
