Auxiliary Playlists

It is possible to work with prearranged title lists (Playlists).
AUDICOM features 4 auxiliary players called PlayList Managers, accessible via the PLAYLIST 1 to PLAYLIST 4 buttons in the toolbar. Au Playlistmanager Jp

​
Creating and Loading Playlists

  • You can drag titles from any AUDICOM window to a PlayList Manager.
  • The playlist is saved as a .txt file in the \Audicom\PGM folder.
  • PlayList Manager supports playlists in .m3u and .plt formats, editable with CyberPlay Editor (option: Playlists).

​
How to create a playlist

  1. Open a PlayList module (or use [Alt + P] for PlayList 1).
  2. Drag titles from Media Manager, InfoMusic, Live Assist or CyberPlay.
  3. Enter a name and press Save.
Playlists are saved in .txt format in \Audicom\PGM.

​
How to load an existing playlist

  • Select it from the dropdown menu at the bottom.
  • To add external playlists, copy them directly to the \Audicom\PGM folder.
Titles appear in different colors based on their last broadcast date:
  • Music (Class = Music in the database): light blue background.
  • Promotional spots: yellow background.
PlayList Manager supports CyberPlay scheduling commands:
  • Text comments.
  • Pauses.
  • Meteor instructions.
    These are inserted from the right-click menu.

​
Preview Monitoring

  • Double-click on a title or CUE button → playback on preview monitor channel.
  • StopCUE button → stops playback.
  • If CUE mode is activated from the display (double-click to the left of the counter):
    • Audio is not reported in RDS/iRDS.
    • It is also not recorded in .air files.
This mode is not recommended in practice, but some operators use it to work directly with the console’s CUE, treating each PlayList Manager as an independent player.

​
Content Broadcasting

Each PlayList Manager can be assigned to a different audio device, defined in the Configuration Panel, to route it to various channels on the audio console.
  • To send a title on-air: select it and press Play.
  • Normal mode: playback stops when finished.
  • Continuous mode: plays all titles sequentially.
    • Pauses can be inserted via the right-click menu.

​
Playback Controls

  • Progress bar: allows navigation within the file (left click).
  • Slider: adjusts playback speed (Pitch) ±5%.
  • Insert button: inserts the entire playlist into CyberPlay, above the yellow cursor.
    • Titles are distributed while respecting commercial breaks.
  • Individual insertion: drag a title to the CyberPlay window.
  • If no item is selected in CyberPlay, the playlist will not be inserted.
  • The comments window will display: Define the insertion point.

​
Duration Constraints

If a PlayList exceeds the duration of the program block, only the titles that fit until the block ends will be inserted.
It does not extend into the next program.
Example:
  • Insert a 1-hour PlayList at 5:30 PM in a live block that ends at 6:00 PM.
  • Only titles up to 6:00 PM will be inserted.
