You can create playlists from the Media Library to play in General Rotation or schedule them for specific times using the Schedule Calendar.

πŸ“˜ Types of Playlists

πŸ” General Rotation

General Rotation playlists automatically play when there are no scheduled events. You can:

  • Set a Playback Weight to control how often tracks from this playlist are selected.

  • Define specific hours during which the playlist is active.

This gives you flexible control over your station’s default programming.

πŸ“’ Jingles & Advertising

The Schedule Calendar lets you set time blocks for all playlist types.

Jingle playlists are ideal for:

  • Station announcements

  • Program promos

  • Advertisements

They can be configured to:

  • Play after a set number of songs

  • Play every few minutes

  • Play at specific times of the day

They can interrupt ongoing content or play between segments, depending on how you configure them.

🎢 Populating Playlists

You can fill playlists using:

  • Individual tracks

  • Entire albums

  • Artists

  • Folders

This flexibility allows you to easily build playlists for shows, moods, or time blocks.

🎯 Organize with folders: Label folders (e.g., 80’s, 90’s, Morning Show, Evening Show) and fill them with relevant content. When you add a folder to a playlist, any changes you make inside the folder (like adding or removing tracks) are automatically reflected in the playlist — no need to re-edit the playlist.

πŸ”„ Repeat Protection

Repeat Protection helps you avoid repeating the same content too often. By default:

  • A track, album, or artist won’t repeat within 10 minutes

  • This applies to General Rotation, Jingle Playlists, and Scheduled Events

⚠️ Be mindful:
Repeat Protection is a common reason why scheduled content doesn’t play — especially if multiple playlists contain similar tracks or artists.
Understanding and adjusting these settings is key to ensuring your playlists and schedules work as expected.
