RadioBOSS 7.2 [beta]

After selecting an area outside the search list, the selection appears blank; it is not distinguishable as shown in the screenshot.

Yes, the color needs to be adjusted there, thank you.

As a possible solution for the played file-type icons, I think there could be a key or key combination to toggle between the two modes.


Alternatively, there could be a quick-access option to quickly display the played file-type icons.

I think we should stick with one solution. Having a key combination is not really practical because no one will know about it, and to know it will require reading the user manual which few people do For now, for playing items with state icons, you can still see the file type's color. There's also File Type column in the playlist that can be used to confirm the file type.

I have a complaint regarding the text that indicates “intro” inside the playback bar. It becomes confusing when it reaches the outro marker: the announcer does not know where to look because two countdown timers appear with different times. This makes it very confusing.
Wouldn’t it be better to display the word “outro” in the counter on the right side?

I don't think moving the timer in between of a countdown is a good idea - that is, it starts on the left side during outro, thenit suddenly goes to to the right once the next track starts, this is not good. By seeing the playback position you know if it's either Intro or Outro. You may adjust the style settings to make played part more prominent.

Another important point: I would like the timers to be changed from 00:00.0 (longer) to 00.0s (shorter). This would save some space.

Yes, I think that would be possible for shorter tracks.

The position of the timer in all 3 tabs...that's my only complaint, but if it can't be done as I suggested from version 7.2.0.2, let's move on to this latest version.

As it was in 7.2.0.2 only allows to show the current track duration, as it is now, durations for next and played track is also visible, which is useful in some cases. While it's possible to have different options for those timers, I'd really prefer to stick with one solution, and having those timers inside the bars seem the most elegant and functional approach. We'll improve it with new updates, e.g. the next version will allow to freely resize those bars vertically.

Same thing here, unless it's some new 3D effect

Actually, it's a new bug should be fixed in the next update.

Would it be possible to make “Ends at 00:00:00” always visible?
For us, this is critical information during operation. We need to see the exact end time at all times without having to hover or interact with the mouse.
Here are a few examples.

Yes, we'll think of some solution for this.

Could you add a column that shows the dayparting preset set?
In both the playlist and the music library.

It does not store this information per-track, and not always a preset is used (you may select any hours manually or change it after loading a preset).

When I'm live on air I need to stay focused on what I'm saying, not search for a small checkbox with the mouse. A keyboard shortcut would allow a much faster and cleaner workflow.

Agreed, this will be added as an option with no hot key set by default, so you can assign it if you want to use it.

Also, I don't think it would be dangerous. When switching to Manual Mode, the new window already appears, so it’s not something that could be triggered accidentally without noticing.

That's only when you have the Scheduler tab visible, otherwise it will only be seen in the Status bar in the corner as [MAN] in the scheduler cell.

Yes, I agree. I was thinking about some kind of quick access or button (in the column or within the column itself) for those users who still want to keep or display the file type icon in the "played" state, as a way to toggle between both modes.

I understand, but now I’m referring to the two timers with different times, as I showed in the previous screenshot. Which timer is the correct one? It’s confusing to have both displayed at the same time when the outro section is shown.

It does not store this information per-track, and not always a preset is used (you may select any hours manually or change it after loading a preset).

So, is there any way to show in the library if a track has "dayparting" set?

Additional observation:
The timers in the "coming up next" and "last track" bars for items without a defined duration, such as the teaser, should not be displayed.
