Dmitry,
We are a community radio station in Australia and we are about to start broadcasting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week commencing on April 16, 2011. We are in the last stages of program content selection and scheduling. We have been putting together playlists and scheduling them for various timeslots during the day and week. With practice this is an easy thing to do with RadioBOSS.
Congratulations on producing such a useful piece of software !
However, there are two things we have discovered that are holding us back:
1. Step 1 of the Playlist Generator requires a Base Music Library to be inserted for the music which will be included in the playlist being generated. All other sections of the Playlist generator (Step 3, Step 4, Step 5 and Step 6) rely upon playlists to be added which give much greater flexibility in program generation. So in Step 1 can an option be included to allow reference to a playlist as well ? Reason being, a much greater control of the music type and track selection can be had by refering to a playlist instead of the whole Music Library.
2. The Music Library allows filtering of music types and the filtered results can be exported to the player or saved as a playlist. We have tried without success to save a filtered selection to another base file. For example, we have tagged Country Music files as Country in the genre field, filtered for Genre = Country, counted 233 files on the screen of the Music Library, and used the > File > Save As command to save that selection as 'Base-Country' and found that the contents of that XML file was the full music library of all 26,930 music tracks. Naturally because Step 1 of the Playlist Generator requires a base file we have tried to narrow the selection down to 'Country' only by using the method described above.
What are we doing wrong in item 2 above ?
Thanks in advance ... Jamie C.
