General Rotations will play tracks automatically when there are no events scheduled.
There must be at least one general rotation configured for AutoDJ to work effectively. Should there be any gap, even a second, in scheduled events; general rotations will save the day and ensure the station stays online and listeners aren’t dropped.
Tracks are selected by a weighted random selection across the enabled General Rotation playlists.
- The checkbox under the General Rotaiton heading indicates that the playlist will operate as a General Rotation.
- A higher weight plays more frequently. A lower weight plays less frequently. A track is selected randomly from all available rotations using the weight definition.
- Playback determines if tracks are selected for General Rotation shuffled or in order.
Edit Playlist
Upon selecting the Create Playlist or Edit button (pencil icon) a popup will appear offering advanced configuration. This is relevant ONLY to the General Rotation and is not referred too when scheduling events on the calendar.
