StationPlaylist Creator

Creator is our music and spot scheduling software. It is used to design your station format using rotations of music categories and spot groups (jingles, ads, etc).

Rotations may be scheduled for specific hours of the day giving you full control over what types of music or programs are scheduled for different times of the day or days of the week.

Creator is capable of producing much more controlled and sophisticated scheduling than a basic random shuffle of your music. Your listening audience will appreciate the difference. Here are some examples of what is possible:

Prevent two or more fast (or slow) tempo songs from being scheduled consecutively, unless that is desired.
Schedule different genres of music at different times of the day, eg. slower songs in the evening, faster in the morning, Saturday night fast tempo party music.
Schedule a specialty show with a specific set of genres at a specific time every day or week.

Once the station format has been designed, Creator generates sophisticated playlists (logs) in seconds, every day or every week.

The playlists contain the list of tracks which will play in your broadcast playback automation system. StationPlaylist Studio is highly recommended for best compatibility with Creator's features.

Creator can also be used with free players such as Winamp or Windows Media Player for low budget automation using the StationPlaylist Scheduler utility included free with Creator.

Creator Features

Creator comes in 3 editions.

Creator Lite ($65) is suitable for very budget automation only. It supports only a small number of music categories and spot groups and does not come with the useful Playlist Editor. Creator Lite is often used with free media players, such as Winamp, but can be used with StationPlaylist Studio.

Creator Standard ($135) supports a larger number of categories and spot groups, and supports many of the available features. It does not support voice tracking or advertisement (spot) summaries, so is most suited for low-budget non-commercial use. Creator Standard works best with Studio Standard automation and live assist software.

Creator Pro ($259) supports an unlimited number of music categories and spot groups, voice tracking and advertisement (spot) summaries, advanced song separation rules, and all the features listed below. This is most suited to more professional installations or where the advanced features are required. Creator Pro works best with Studio Pro for a complete professional broadcasting solution.

The following table shows which features are supported by the 3 editions.

Feature	Lite	Standard	Pro
● Maximum number of daysa playlist may be generated in advance.	7	90	90
● Related Artist support. Several artists may be treated as one artist as far as Artist Repeat Protection is concerned. eg. John Cougar, John Cougar Mellencamp, John Mellencamp.
● Related Title support. 2 or more songs with the same tune but with a different title may be treated as one title as far as the Title Repeat Protection is concerned. This is particularly useful for Christmas songs.
● Advanced Playlist Editor(see below)
● Category Priorities. Fast rotating categories, such as Top40, can be set to a High Priority. Tracks from these categories will be selected first to ensure less important tracks do not get in the way of selection due to separation rules.
● Generate personalized HTML playlists for your website or intranet. Staff, remote voice tracking DJ's, and/or listeners can see what has played and is yet to play. DJ's can see the selected songs for their shift wherever they are in the world.
● Global separation rules to prevent too many tracks of the same genre, tempo, mood, energy, gender, or decade being played too close together.
● Track Rating Priority enables tracks with a poorer rating to be selected less often than other tracks.
● Recycle Category Tracks will take the songs used during one period of the day and recycle them in another period of the day, giving the impression of a larger music library.
● Linked Artists for scheduling 2 or more tracks by the same artist in the same hour for special purposes. May contain spots or jingles between the selected tracks.
● Last Track Bias attempts to select the last song in the hour to fit as close as possible with the remaining time. Can produce hours within a few seconds of 60 minutes.
● Voice Tracking System Easily and quickly record and insert voice announcements into the playlist. Voice tracking provides a way for a DJ to pre-record a show spanning several hours within a few minutes. StationPlaylist Studio Pro supports playing voice tracks simultaneously with the outgoing song and/or incoming song to sound 100% live when completely automated/unattended.
● Traffic/Billing log file import Supports all major traffic/billing commercial scheduling software for advanced management of advertisements, including Natural Log, AdMaster, Radio Workflow, The Traffic Light, Radio Traffic, and Radio Works.
● Music log file import Converts 3rd party music scheduler logs into the format StationPlaylist Studio requires. Has been utilized with Music 1, PowerGold, RCS Selector, Natural Music, etc.
● Advertising (Spot) Summary A summary of the advertising spots scheduled in the playlist is generated as a spreadsheet compatible file, which may also be printed. This may be used for billing purposes.
● Password protection A master password may be applied to prevent all access to Creator. A password may also be applied to protect against creating a playlist, and a 3rd password to limit who can edit playlists.
● Maximum song categories (eg. music genres, tempos)	5	15	unlimited
● Maximum spot groups (ads, jingles, etc)	4	24	unlimited
● Maximum rotations (hourly templates of categories/spots)	3	12	unlimited
