I would still love to see a way to have song requests inserted directly in to the playlist, with the option to then skip next song after it, so it doesn't mess up my rotation format. Just to make it more clear, my playlists look like this:
news, hour intro, 2 songs, spot, 2 songs, ad break, 2 songs, sermon clip, 2 songs, ad break, 2 songs, spot, etc. But the idea is, only have 2 songs. But I would like requests to be factored in and made part of this, in a way that won't break this format. So, maybe a rule in track selection that would allow it to be replaced by a request if one exists, or if not, just follow normal selection rules.

Repeat protection is enabled, but it does not work for song requests.
Under the "Scheduler" section, it is set to read song requests and automatically add them, but songs by the same artist are still repeated.

For example, if a listener requests one song by Ace of Base and the system plays it, the user can immediately request another song by the same artist, and it will be added and played right after.

Repeat protection should also apply to this case — it should read the request but not play another song by the same artist until the defined time limit (set in repeat protection) has passed.

This will be added at some point in the future, implemented as "conditional items" (that is, play requested song if it exists, and if not, play something else).

For example, if a listener requests one song by Ace of Base and the system plays it, the user can immediately request another song by the same artist, and it will be added and played right after.

Yes, this is a limitation of the request system, repeat protection rules for this will be added soon (or it'll use the general rules).
