Auxiliary playlists

You can work with pre-built title lists (Playlists).
AUDICOM includes 4 auxiliary players called PlayList Managers, accessible from the PLAYLIST 1 to PLAYLIST 4 buttons in the toolbar. Au Playlistmanager Jp

​
Creating and loading lists

  • Titles can be dragged from any AUDICOM window to a PlayList Manager.
  • The list is saved as a .txt file in the \Audicom\PGM folder.
  • PlayList Manager supports .m3u and .plt format lists, editable with CyberPlay Editor (option: Playlists).

​
How to create a list

  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.
Lists are saved in .txt format in \Audicom\PGM.

​
How to load an existing list

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

​
Preview listening

  • Double click on a title or CUE button → playback on preview monitoring 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 on RDS/iRDS.
    • It is not logged in .air files either.
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 different channels of the mixing console.
  • To send a title on air: select it and press Play.
  • Normal mode: playback stops when finished.
  • Continuous mode: plays all titles one after another.
    • Pauses can be inserted from the right-click menu.

​
Playback controls

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

​
Duration restrictions

If a PlayList exceeds the program block duration, only titles that fit until the block ends will be inserted.
It does not extend to the next program.
Example:
  • Inserting a 1-hour PlayList at 17:30 in a live block ending at 18:00.
  • Only titles up to 18:00 will be inserted.
