Event mix with previous file

[mephisto777]

I have a saytime jingle. I use an event option for this. Function "Run scheduled launch without waiting for current track to finish" is turning ON.  How can i mix the last played song in hour with saytime jingle for the new hour.

The mixing will happen automatically once the saytime event is started.

I mean, I have a playlist for every hour and I've put in the beginning of every hour a jingle file in the playlist generator. When i create an event that loads the next playlist without waiting for current track to finish, the last file from previous playlist is not mixing with the first file from the new playlist. How can i do it?

It should mix, according to the crossfade settings, as set in the crossfades window: http://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/crossfades.htm

If you have zero for Fade Out and/or Mix, the switch from a song to generated playlist can sound abrupt.

Thanks. Now i have 2 new questions

1. Can you add a option "do not repeat" for preset groups not only for presets because i have a playlists for every hour and when i set a do not repeat option for preset, in the next hour the song of previous is repeated in the new hour. I use event - Generate playlist for every hour.

2. Can it be that before all songs of one category have been released do not repeat them.

I'm not sure if I understood what this option should do.

If you generate multiple playlists using different presets, and do not want tracks to be repeated among different playlists, this is already possible. You need to enable the following options in the playlist generator: http://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/settings2.htm

1. Read additional file info - this is required to get the "last played" information for tracks
2. Use the Last Played tag - use last played information to prevent track repeats
3. Repeat protection: Take into accounts tracks in the playlist window - prevent repeats for tracks that are not played yet, but present in the playlist window and will be played soon.

Hello again
Is there a function that stops a song to be played before 20:00h for example? Something like restriction for each song in different hours.

There's no option to limit track's playback time (there's an option to limit it by dates to e.g. limit Christmas songs).

If you want some songs to be played only in day time, I suggest using different playlist templates for different times of day.
