Re: music scheduling on time
I have the same problem. Weâve been running Raduga on the air in the âshuffleâ mode for almost a year with great results. But. it seems our audience is getting a bit more sophisticated. They are now asking for specific program segments. For instance 6:00 AM to 9:00 am, they want upbeat, lively music. During the workday, they like things a little more subdued, but about lunchtime, we need to pick up the tempo. After lunch, itâs back to our regular format. But by evening drive time, we need to sound wide-awake. About 6:00 PM, Iâve had several people request a âcocktail hour.â Friday and Saturday night, they'd like to dance, but generally, after dark, they want music thatâs appropriate for more horizontal activities... You get the picture. Iâve tried to fool Raduga to play these day parts by entering them as either .alb or .rot files in the provided scheduler. It will dutifully play them at the requested time, but when it returns to the âprimary play listâ it defaults to the first song in that list without shuffling. If it would just return to the primary play list where it left off, all would be fine. So far, I have not been able to get it to do that. It always goes to the first song in the list. Short of buying Airlist, are their any simple work-arounds? Iâm trying to keep this as simple as possible. In fact, the simplicity of Raduga is what attracted me in the first place. Arlist may be great, but at first glance, it does not look like it will simplify my life.
