This feature is exclusively available in our PRO plan.
Music Scheduling allows you to design automated playlist rules based on categories and clocks. This feature helps you categorize songs and create category sequences within clocks, making playlist management more efficient.
Open this page in the Dashboard: Dashboard > Scheduling > Music
The Music Scheduling interface is built around drag-and-drop functionality. You can easily categorize songs and arrange these categories into clocks to automate playlist creation.
1. Filter Display Areas
Customize which segments are visible by clicking the appropriate checkboxes for Tracks, Categories, and Clocks. The order in which you select these options determines their arrangement on the page, aiding in smoother drag-and-drop operations.
2. Categories
Search Categories: Use the text search to filter categories by type (Music, Jingle, Ad, Podcast, Mixed).
Add New Categories: Click "+Create new category" to add a category with a name, type, and color.
Edit Songs in a Category: Click the music note icon to view and manage songs within a category. Use the play button to listen, the "X" to remove a track (without deleting from the library), and "Go To" for track details.
Edit Category: Click the pencil icon to change a category’s name, color, or type.
Adding Tracks: Ensure both the Tracks and Categories segments are visible. Search or filter your library, then drag and drop tracks from the Tracks segment into the desired category.
Predefined Categories for Third Party Audio Ad Servers
Functional categories are provided for Ad Server solutions from AdsWizz and Instreamatic. These should be used for placing ads within playlists. Do not delete these categories unless necessary.
Important: Requirement for this feature is a third party ad server. For setting up third party audio ad server integration, refer to the provided setup documentation.
