13th January 2010 : v2.13

What Is A Related Artist ?

Most of us know that Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins are connected to the band Genesis. Of course, a computer doesn't know this so you have to tell it by using Related Artists which many schedulers support. Usually this is a "per item" field where each song card contains a list of related artists. Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell and the Spice Girls are another example of this.

You can also use Related Artists when you have 2 artists collaborating on a track, ie: Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton - Islands In The Stream. In this item's song card, you would enter both Kenny Rogers AND Dolly Parton so that their own solo tracks are kept away from this duet.


8th January 2010 : v2.12

This is because not all the fields are displayed in the viewer columns

Because the export routines only work with the existing viewer data - I propose to re-write the export routines to re-read the tag/file data rather than a simple dump of the column data. I expect this may slow down the export process (certainly with APE/ID3 reading) but will do some tests and determine how best to proceed.


6th January 2010 : v2.11

Although JockMaster (and Meridian Scheduler) will be able to manipulate these files ad-hoc (as well as in bulk), I am putting this into MyLibrary as a testing ground for the JMD format and to give you another tool to play with! Please read the following text to understand how this new addition works!

Plus some minor fixes...


4th January 2010 : v2.10

Minor fixes including:


3rd January 2010 : v2.0

Major new release!

The new v2.0 version of MyLibrary features an improved layout, more management features and a dedicated SongCard window (which will also feature on Meridian Scheduler in due course). As well as the new look, the following features have been added since v1.14:

Registration
As this is a major version change - your existing registration will not work. You must apply for a new code (free to existing users). E-Mail me for a new code ;)


16th December 2009 : v1.14


10th December 2009 : v1.13

You may now export a PSquared-compatible CSV file which you can use to slipstream your Audiowall fileswith updated ARTIST,TITLE,DESCRIPTION,INTRO,SEGUE,END data. You will need the Advanced Tools Pack which is anadditional PSquared purchase - as I don't run Myriad here I cannot help too much with this this but the user who requested it says it works very well ;)

This was added because they wanted to import a large amount of audio into their playout system. Using MyLibrary, they were able to set the IN/OUT points of each track rather quickly. They then used the Cart Bulk button to set the (future) Cart numbers of these items and exported the list to a CSV file. They ran the importer in Myriad - then the Audiowall Update tool which then matched the MyLibrary CSV file to the new Audiowall Carts and inserted the data accordingly.

I advise a full backup of your Myriad database should you wish to attempt such a task!

The format of the Myriad CSV is constructed as follows:

(the timings are in seconds to 2 decimal places)

CartNo,ItemTitle,ArtistName1,Description,IntroEnd,Extro,Ending
1000,CHASING PAVEMENTS,ADELE,2008,5.70,205.55,e
