The lowercase and is
interpreted as an Artist delimeter, but AND is not. eg: YEARS AND YEARS
is a single artist, but YEARS and YEARS would be treated (and split) as separate artists. As an
example, this is about as silly as a filename can get using some of the
above rules:
C:\MUSIC\ARTIST1 vs ARTIST2 with ARTIST3 and ARTIST4 x
ARTIST5 feat. ARTIST6 featuring ARTIST7 feat ARTIST8 with ARTIST9 - SONG
TITLE.wav Related Artists
This list can be used by playout
systems to keep groups and their solo members' music separate, for example:
When exporting to AutoTrack
CSV, it is expected that you have the Primary Artist here, too. "Related Artists" function
differently to the "Artists" field as the latter is those on this
track, but Related is some kind of link that a scheduler (ie:
computer) wouldn't know, such as John Lennon being in the Beatles (unless
you told it via Related Artists). Most schedulers will backwards-inherit the links, so it may
also keep solo tracks from LULU and ROBBIE WILLIAMS apart because of the
relationship defined above. The Auto Populate Related
Artists button will scan the defined Related Artists and put any matching
ones into this list. Title Album Year End
Gender Mood In order to pick from a
pre-determined series of Moods, you need to add the following to the
MyLibrary.ini (configuration settings) file: [Moods] Up to 100
preset Moods can be defined here. Once you have this section
added+defined, a "set" button will appear next to the Mood field the next time you open the
SongCard. Tempo Opener Start/End Date Comment

The unique artists on this
track, separated by a / Used by some schedulers to allow Artist protection
between each person/group.
There is also a
Related Artists field, which
is explained further down this page.
This
routine looks at the FileName field to obtain the Artist and
Title (using a hyphen delimeter) along with the following criteria for
multiple Artists populating the Artists
field:
Artist1 feat
Artist2 - Song Title
Artist1 feat.
Artist2 - Song Title
Artist1 and
Artist2 - Song Title
Artist1 with
Artist2 - Song Title
Artist1 vs Artist2 - Song
Title
Artist1 aka
Artist2 - Song Title
Artist1 x Artist2 - Song
Title
Artist1 X Artist2 - Song
Title
This also allows for scenarios like:
Artist1 vs Artist2 with Artist3 and Artist4 - Song
Title
will populate the Artists
field with: ARTIST1/ARTIST2/ARTIST3/ARTIST4/ARTIST5/ARTIST6/ARTIST7/ARTIST8/ARTIST9
This is
where you'd list other Artists who are somehow related, musically, to this
current Artist/Song. A good example
is solo material by a group member, so if the current song was TAKE
THAT feat LULU - RELIGHT MY FIRE, the Related Artists field would contain
the following: GARY BARLOW, HOWARD DONALD, JASON ORANGE, MARK OWEN, ROBBIE WILLIAMS. When adding
a Related Artist, you can press the <enter> key to add it.
The name of the
track
The "S" button performs a Smart Case operation to capitalize the first letter of

The year of release -
click the word "Year" to automatically apply the current Year to the

You can set using CTRL-C, CTRL-E or CTRL-F for Cold, End or
Fade respectively.
Duet, Female, Group,
Instrumental, Male, Other - click the word "Gender" to automatically apply the
global Gender (if defined, from the Genders.ini file) to

A free-text field. Some playout systems, eg:
mAirList, can display this field within its Playlist.
Displays a list of Artists from the Related Artists
text file (menu>Library Actions>Special Actions) to help ascertain
existing Artist combinations for duplicates, eg: ARTIST A feat. ARTIST B WITH
ARTIST C etc.
Interpet
Filename
Populates the Artist+Title fields based upon the filename
format.
Exists as WAV
File
Used to denote that this track is a linear file rather than an
MP3. Useful when you have MP3 and WAV copies of audio and wish to easily find
tracks that you *only* have as an MP3 (like when ripping a new CD
compilation album). Just as a JMD file will match track info (and Cart Numbers),
this marker can help you determine if the track already exists as a WAV
somewhere.
This will also export a Source attribute to mAirList v6 MMD as Source=MP3 or Source=WAV
AutoCue
Automatically determines the Cue In and
Segue points for the audio track.
Backup
Path
An alternative
path to the file. An LED will light green to show that a matching filename
exists in this alternative folder. If it doesn't, the LED is red. If
the field is empty, the LED is greyed-out.
The various cue points can be set using F1-F5 and reviewed (PFL) using Shift-F1-F5. Pressing F8 will engage the EndMon (plays last 15 seconds).
During playback, pressing "Set" will place the relevant marker at that position. PFL will immediately begin playback from that position. The up/down buttons, during playback will allow you to accurately set the cue position. Holding the CTRL key when clicking an up/down button will double the increment value, ie: Jump 100ms rather than 50ms.
Cue In
The start-point of the track - This is where the track will play from.
If exporting to EncoDAD, the CueIn (aka: Head) will be a non-destructive edit
so that the track always plays from this point. When exporting to Broadcast
Radio's Myriad (v3 or v4), there is an option in the Import Wizard to
Automatically Trim Markers which
will remove all audio before the CueIn point - this is a
destructive edit! In Myriad v5, this is purely a "start" marker".
Intro 1, 2, 3
These
are points at which the singing (or other significant noises)
start
Hook In
The start of the
chorus or memorable "hook". Can be used in mAirList and Myriad to create
"hook teases" of upcoming
tracks in your playlist.
Hook Out
The end of the
memorable "hook". If this value is not set, or is lower than the Hook In
time, the time window will change to a
blue background.
Segue
The point at which
the next item will start in automation. This will also provide a value (in mm:ss format) for
the Duration field in the main view.
