Clockwheels: A Very Important Feature For A Radio Station
I know that this has benn posted before, but I believe that this is a very important feature for a radio station. That feature is called Clockwheels. Clockwheels are a group of playlists that are played in a specified order in a wheel. For example, I would play a top of the hour station ID, a song, another station ID, a song, and so on. Without clockwheels, my station would not sound like an FM Radio Station. I would like my radio station to be 100% professional.
Other services, such as Live365 and LiveWebDj provide this functionality.

emiryapici MergedHi! There might be playlist templates like "clocks" in other radio automation systems. By using this feature, user can create a clock template for each hour that contains playlists. Like this:
1st item -> TOH playlist
2nd item -> A song from a playlist
3rd item -> A jingle from jingle playlist
4th item -> A song from a playlist
....
Azuracast can calculate the mean duration of a song in a playlist from total duration. So total duration of a clock could be calculated.

Eddy MergedAbility to create a playlist rotation.
This function would complete the creation of a professional schedule.
It means being able to create a defined playlist sequence, with a user-defined sequence.
Example:
1 Playlist House
2 Jingle Playlist
3 Playlist Pop
3 playlist promotions
4 Latin Playlist
etc. etc...
The selector will transmit the "sequence" with the chosen order ...
Obviously, with the data and departure time function. -

RadioBijoux MergedAllow "nested" playlists. For instance, I create a "Podcasts" main Playlist. Within that Playlist, I can create Podcast #1, #2, #3, etc.)
