Automatically remove tracks that cross the Hour Marker

Wouldn't you like to take inspiration from their style too?

This means: completely reworking the scheduler, playlist, and all related things. Not realistic and no practical need for such a rehaul.

Or you could do as you do with VirtualDJ, vMix, or OBS Studio, which let you choose how you want to use the software. So, there's a "Standard" version, as it is now, and an "Advanced" one that includes this style for large FM radio stations.

Feature duplication is a bad software design in most (all) cases.

I think we should approach this form a different angle:

1. What needs to be done: start top of the hour events at the exact time, making the song end at hour end
2. What RadioBOSS feature can help with this task: Sweepers
3. Can this feature be improved to perform the task better? This is the actual question.

I'd like to add to this, my request for sweepers to be available in RadioBOSS Cloud.

I have a workaround: when it gets to xx:59 in an hour, I replace the next scheduled track with a sweeper track (to avoid less than a minute of a song being played). If the currently playing track still has a minute or more to play, then it continues playing; if it ends within the minute before the TOTH then the sweeper plays as the next track. Then the TOTH sequence begins at xx:00 (without waiting for the previous track to end).

However it would be ideal to be able to fill a gap before the TOTH with sweepers of different lengths.
