Music Rating/Demand Control

[z100internet]

I have been thinking of a way that can advance the track properties for each music track, so that music programmers of RadioBoss can have more ?control? over what is disbursed to the On-Air portion of the program. I have attached 2 screen shots of G-Selector which is an industry standard in AM/FM music programming. Not sure if this is possible, but I believe something like this would be a huge asset to the program, especially for top 40 stations where we want more ?current? chart hits to play more often than others. Like a way to rate the music track and have that rating reflect in how the system builds the current playlist. As you can see in the screen shots, each track has a different rating or demand according to it?s ?dayparts?. Reflecting in how the music is played depending on what time of day it is. Any ideas or suggestions?

Rating field is already present in RB. Currently we plan to add Rating filter to Playlist Generator Pro so it'll be able to seelct tracks based on this information.

Any idea when this feature is due? I would really like to be able to schedule tracks based on a rating structure (to save creating A list / B list file structures)

It's planned for RadioBOSS 5.1 - beta version will be released in April.

wow!, this really will be great!

For the valuation I would like a wider range.
1 to 10 is actually slightly.
0 to 100 would be much better
(0 never issue)

For now it'll stay on 1-10, probably in the future we'll extend it (5.1 has to be released soon so we can't make a lot of changes this time).

Well, maybe I'm more than happy with this feature!

the new function it is only a filter?, do I think this is added to filter categories in playlistgenerat is not it?

Ideally (and like the other software I've ever run) is to select tracks higher score, but to menuno, but with less rating not excluded, only less frequently inserted.
This would be the correct behavior of this function.

if it is implemented as a filter, although not ideal. yet it would help anyway.

It'll be both, two features:
- filter tracks by rating
- increase the probability for tracks with higher rating to appear in the playlist

Maybe with a check box. For example in my case I want to play tracks wich was played less than others. That means that I want to play music tracks with a lower Playcount number.

I was referring to Rating. Playcount is a different matter, and it will also be taken into account - in another way.

You're a genius, great news. 
The rest wait for RB 5.1 beta?

Do you mean some other requests?

 

[nelson c]

Sorry.
I mean, when it will be released RB beta?

It's on it way - should be released within a week I think.
