Scheduling single files

32 votes

Instead of building playlist for only one mp3 file, would be good be able to set a schedule for the file.

I could almost switch to this as my scheduling software, but this would be necessary. We play a lot of pre-recorded files files in which we want to grab the most recent file from a particular folder and play it at a certain time. This does not seem to be easily achieved right now.

I would love to be able to (without making a playlist) schedule a single file to play at a specific time.

For instance I have pre-recorded show , I would like episode 100 play friday at 10pm and episode 101 to play the next week.

I know I can make a playlist for each episode and schedule the play list - but it would be really nice just to set the MP3 play directly from the music files section.

Agreed! I have almost the same request.

Story:
As a radio owner having DJs upload their set through the website (wordpress). I would like to automate on a specific time lets say Thursday 20:00 - 21:00, that when a new set is being uploaded (set name includes date so that can be referenced). That set is being played. When no set has been uploaded I want it to play a random set from the DJs playlist.

Topic starter and commenter RS you are both describing exactly the same functions I would also require for my station.
Lets hope this can be achieved in the future.
