This tutorial is -primarily focused on program managers but users who are DJs can also benefit -from smart blocks but will only be able to manually schedule them. - -So for the purposes of this tutorial we are going to assume that you -have uploaded a number of files of music with the genre metadata all -matching a specific genre, for instance, Alternative. This can be done -ahead of time, but LibreTime has no way of automatically grouping sub -genres and so it is important that you spend some time curating the -track metadata before you upload it to LibreTime as there is not -currently a way to bulk edit tracks from inside LibreTime. Also once -tracks are uploaded the metadata of the track itself isn’t changed but -just how it is represented in the LibreTime database. This might change -in the future but would only affect you if you were downloading tracks -and uploading them to another instance and hoped that the changes you -made were saved. - -So we can bulk upload a number of creative commons licensed tracks that -have their genre all set to specific genres as one way of getting tracks -if you don’t have a mp3 collection of your own to draw from. See links -below for some spots where you can procure tracks where the creators -gave permission for everyone to redistribute play and share them. - -One the tracks are uploaded to the system and imported we can now create -a smartblock that will select the tracks that match a certain genre. For -this we will use Genre contains Jazz – this will match any track that -has genre anywhere in its genre so ‘big band jazz’ and ‘swing jazz’ -would match as well as ‘acid jazz’. Any subgenre that doesn’t include -jazz explicitly such as ‘be bop’ would need to be added as a new -modifier. - -For the purposes of this smart block we want to select 4 random items. -We also want to avoid really long tracks that are longer than 10 -minutes. So we will add the modifier Length is less than 00:10:00 - -and now this smart block will pull 4 smart blocks. Be sure to preview it -to make sure that you have some matches in your library. This will also -save it. - -Now we are going to create a new smart block that plays one promo or -station ID. - -Click smartblock and new and then type in the name promo OR ID and then -change the criteria Genre to is promo and now click new modifier and -then is TOTHID. - -And then change limit to 1 items. - -Now we are going to create a playlist that contains these two smart -blocks. - -Click new and then type Jazz with promos - -and then click smartblocks and add the Jazz Songs followed by the Promo -or ID smart block. - -Now this playlist can be dragged into a schedule show to add 3 random -jazz songs followed by a promo. You can manually repeat the selection in -the playlist to create a long auto DJ playlist. For instance lets add 3 -more Jazz Songs and then add 3 Jazz Songs again followed by a Promo or -ID. Now lets save this playlist and go and add it to a scheduled show. - -This is a quick and easy way for you to manually schedule a large chunk -of time. You can also use this as an autoloading playlist. - -Lets assign this to a new 3 hour show. Called lots of Jazz. Now lets go -under Autoloading Playlist and enable that and in this spot we will -check repeat until full. This will mean that the system will keep -scheduling this playlist until the show is completely full. The only -problem here is that at the end of the show it is almost assured that a -track will be cut off. If you are a web station and you just want to -schedule music for long lengths of time you can schedule shows that are -up to 24 hours long. - -On the other hand if you are an FCC licensed station you are required to -have top of the hour IDs as close as possible to the top of the hour.
