Importing Playlists from Other Software (PowerGold, Digiton...)

Post by Radiosoft »

RADIO Player Pro v.2 supports importing playlists from various scheduling software.

The Import Wizard is launched from the Utilities menu (or with [ F6 ]) and imports a schedule from a text file generated by your scheduling software in the corresponding format.

Each line in the playlist file contains information about one scheduled audio file.

If the filename contains a date and the file itself does not include a date field, the date is taken from the filename. Supported filename date formats:

Code: Select all

DD.MM.YYYY
DDMMYYYY
Field notation used below:
  • <FieldName> — field value (the angle brackets are not written in the file).
  • <*FieldName> — optional field; no separator is required if the field is absent.
  • | — field separator; for each format, see the actual separator value in the file.

Open the file automation.aut (typically at C:Program FilesPowerGoldSample Dataautomation.aut or C:Program Files (x86)PowerGoldSample Dataautomation.aut on 64-bit Windows) in a text editor, paste the RADIO Player Pro block at the end of the file, save it, restart PowerGold, and set "Name of automation system" to RADIO Player Pro.

Separator | is a space character.

Code: Select all

<Time HH>|<Full path to file>
Digiton and other formats

Open the Import Wizard [ F6 ], select the format matching your scheduling software, and follow the on-screen instructions to map the file fields.
