Tip on clock and audio imaging

Hi, I need to create a clock following these instructions. Feel free to give me your suggestions and how you would do it.
In summary, these are the audio elements I need to insert into the music clock:
  • Jingles
  • Sweeper
  • Sonic Logo
  • Station
Now, when they go live, the following should happen:

Jingles + vocal station (on the song's intro, but it must be short, maximum 3 seconds, and I'll do it via autointro, which will pull them from a folder containing only short vocal stations)
Sweeper (same as Jingles / so I'll duplicate it)
Sonic Logo (same as Jingles and Sweeper)

Vocal station (as soon as the song currently playing ends, another song will start, with nothing in between, and there will only be a spoken line on the intro, which must be longer, minimum 4 seconds and maximum 15 seconds, so similar to "Jingle").

I imagine I should use TAGs and AutoIntro. Right?

Being a very active radio station, I always move songs from one folder to another via MusicLibrary, and as a result, it would be incredibly cumbersome to assign tags each time, which would then be associated with the use of AutoIntro.
This is because, as I said, PLG Pro must read files from MusicLibrary, and each item in the clock has a different MusicLibrary folder associated with it.
I would like the vocal stations that start from AutoIntro and that will always and only play over the intro of the songs, to depend on what precedes the song.

So:
  • Jingle starts > match Short Station.
  • Sweeper starts > match Short Station.
  • Sonic Logo starts > match Short Station.
  • Song starts preceded by another song > match Long Vocal Station over the intro.

I hope you understand.
:cool:

(I leave an example of how it looks on PLG Pro)
(If needed, I can send you a demo file to give you a better understanding of the result you want to see on air.)

When you assign tags, they stay assigned after you move a track to different folder - provided that you move it via the Music Library's "Move track"/"Rename track" options.

Another way is to switch information storage to use APEv2 or "File" option so that when you move a file information moves with it (for "File" storage option you will also need to move the metadata .rbdata file).

For performance reasons, it's better to use the SQLite storage option, and avoid moving tracks in the folders, selecting them based on Tags and other parameters.

The Auto Intro feature in RadioBOSS doesn't check the preceding track, so for your case, it won't work as you need.
You can add intros directly from the Playlist Generator though - create different Intro categories for each case and insert them between appropriate tracks.

Yes, I do it like this. "Move song" from Music Library. The path on disk C is never moved.

Too bad.
Do you think he'll be able to do that in the future?

So I have to use tracks with "Treat track as voice track" enabled?
And therefore it's not the same as AutoIntro.
And it doesn't have the filters and second conditions or the "Play only on musical intro" feature.
