Aaudit is AUDICOM’s broadcast audit tool. It allows querying, playing back and generating reports from the daily logs of what was aired on the On-Air terminal. It can be accessed via the Audit button in the Applications Bar. By default it’s available on the Commercial desktop (User = comercial), though it can be added to any user desktop. The logs are displayed graphically, similar to the CyberPlay window:
  • Files played in a commercial break → green background
  • Files played by AutoDJ or live blocks → light blue background with asterisk
  • Program stop intervals (presumed live) → yellow background
  • Even hours → light gray, odd hours → dark gray
Broadcast logs are saved on the On-Air terminal as files with .air extension, one for each broadcast day. The location is defined in Audicom.ini under [Directories].
Double-clicking an .air file in Windows Explorer will open it directly in Aaudit.

​
Music or spots identification

Aaudit determines the file type using two criteria:
  1. Playback block: everything aired within a commercial break is marked as commercial spot.
    • Example: if the operator inserts a music track within a break, it will be marked as spot.
  2. Database: the Class field in InfoMusic is validated.
    • Class = Spot → appears in green
    • Class ≠ Spot (Promo, Music) → appears in light blue
    • Empty Class or unregistered file → considered Spot if aired in a break

​
User logging

The On-Air module also includes user changes in the logs.
In Aaudit they appear as gray lines with red text, indicating login/logout time and username.

​
Playing a title

You can listen to a logged file by selecting it and pressing Play.
The file plays from its original location: if moved or deleted it cannot be played.

​
Open file

The .air button allows opening another log.
  • By default files from current month are shown
  • The File types menu allows expanding view to previous logs
  • In installations with multiple on-air terminals, you can select which terminal to open logs from

​
Save as TXT

Allows exporting the log in plain text, useful for viewing or printing in any text editor.

​
Print

Generates a paper report similar to graphical reports, but sent directly to printer.

​
Available reports

The reports menu includes different modes:
  • Global Report: duration of selected file, number of broadcasts and total airtime
  • Spot tracking: detailed list of broadcasts of a title within a date range, with playback times to verify complete airing
  • Copyright Listing: report with Title, Artist, Author, record label and album code, for submission to entities like SADAIC

​
Graphical reports

Aaudit can generate different visual graphs:
  • Pie Chart: percentages of music, spots and live programs. Double click → minutes and seconds
  • 24-Hour Composition: bars showing hourly distribution of music, spots and programs. Double click on bar → exact times Au Aaudit 24hs Pn
  • Accumulated break time: evolution of aired advertising throughout the day Au Aaudit Spots Hora Pn
  • Hourly spots detail: bars showing minutes of advertising aired each hour
  • 3D Graph: three-dimensional version of pie and bar charts
  • Spots ranking: comparison of total airtime for each spot Au Aaudit Spots Ranking Pn
  • Preferred music styles: pie chart showing airtime by music styles registered in database
The .air files are usually stored in the Audicom\Air folder of the On-Air terminal.
Their names correspond to the date (YYYYMMDD.air). It’s recommended to periodically delete very old logs to avoid unnecessary disk usage.
