System automatically and continuously makes 100 track random playlists.

No Repeat Track within 18 days.
No Repeat Title in playlist within +/- 80 tracks.
No Repeat Artiste in playlist within +/- 40 tracks.

[BriansBrain]

can we have have a copy ?

No sorry, I didn't make it for commercial release

I made it for my station because there is not a program out there that can do what I wanted to do

[radium98]

And why then you promote it here ,keep it secret for you .And who say it is commercially used ?

I was just letting all you Radio Freaks know what is possible to make if you put your mind to it

I am not a software developer therefore could not provide any support.

The program is not only very complicated but also requires numerous special
dependency files to be installed on your system for it to run.

Then...
It only runs on a Dedicated Windows XP SP2 or 2000 system with loads of RAM.
It requires a fast solid state drive for 'C', a big Hard Drive for 'D' for you music.
You would also need to set up a 100MB Ramdisk.
You need Virtual Audio Cables installed.
You need K-Lite Codec Pack for XP.
You need ffdshow installed and the audio configured to run Auto-Jock only.
You need Access 2000 DataBase installed.
You need to totally disable the Paging File.
You cannot use the system for any other purpose but Auto-Jock and if needed Breakaway Broadcast.
The system can be connected to a local network but NOT the internet.
This is achieved by using the following IP Address Example:

IP Address: 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gataway:

Do NOT put anything for the >> Default Gataway:

Even if you did manage to install all that lot.
Each of your music files require a name format of "Artiste - Title" plus .wav or .mp3 ONLY
No other file naming format would work as these files get re-named with a 5 digit file number for the DataBase.
Each of your music tracks then need importing into the Audio Data Editor one by one.
This will calculate its exact playing time plus it's -db reduction playback level.
Then you can manually Set the Intro and Outro times plus any other data you want.

You know Radio DJ software Radium? It's free and very good with none of these restrictions.

I have looked into RCS stuff - it can't do anything like mine can

But
I want him to have these restrictions
I'm the person who sets them
Especially the NO repeat the same track within 18 days

I get up in the morning at 7:45am and turn on the Transmitter
Turn ''Brian ON'' and start him running on Autorun, then turn his monitor OFF
I then go back to bed until about 10:00
I get up turn on the ''Radio'' to make sure he is OK and have breakfast etc.
I go in the studio/workshop at about 11:00
I turn on the internet connected PC and have a look what is going on in the world.
The rest of the day/evening I am checking on ''Brian'' audio wise only.
The next time I turn on Brian's ''Monitor'' ON is 23:55
I then select a nice slow track to play after his ''Midnight Speech''
And then turn the Autorun OFF
I then go up on the big flat roof were the transmitter room is located and the antenna mast.
Have a walk around with my radio looking out over the listener area all lit up, it looks beautiful.
Go inside when the song has finished and there is Dead Air.
I then turn the transmitter OFF and go down and turn Brian OFF

The Average number files played per day @ 16hrs
Music = 280
Overlays = 375
All fully Automatically - Unattended

Lets see another automation software program do that

[radium98]

NONE of them ,so good luck customised automation .

[Electronically]

To become a massive Internet radio massively. You would need absolute massive ram to achieve your goal. Don't expect your laptop to do the job that's no the answer you need big servers

Seven possible voice tracking variants of the ''Overlay Bank'' system in my Auto-Jock.
Using the same Song 1 and seven different ones for Song 2.
The 'Cue Tone' and 'Vocals Start' (Intro) signals come in from the main Left / Right Players.

*Settings Note* ... ''Delay Play'' = ON
Ducking... Attack: 0.4s - Release: 0.4s
Minimum Outro -to- Intro Time: 1.5s
Including Ducking Attack & Release
The ducking -db is added to the -db of the playing songs (Players top right hand corner)

Voice tracking files are selected fully automatically.

Example from yesterdays 16hr play log...
Intros
Artist+Title Set: 20% - Count: 089 = Per Hour: 5.47
Artist Set: 20% - Count: 081 = Per Hour: 4.98
Year Set: 30% - Count: 008 = Per Hour: 0.49
Random Set: 100% - Count: 034 = Per Hour: 2.09
Outros
Track Set: 12% - Count: 025 = Per Hour: 1.54
Random Set: 90% - Count: 153 = Per Hour: 9.41
Total : 390
