Bulk Update "Do Not Play Flag"

68 votes

Provide bulk update of "Do Not Play Flag" from media list. At present, we can only mark the Do Not Play Flag on an individual track. This should work the same as bulk updating categories and media types.

I recently had to lean heavily on my auto DJ. I noticed the same songs kept coming up. After a long process and research, I found that a number of the songs were marked "Do Not Play" and I hadn't done it. Now I have to song by song to change this. This should be a mass change choice.

Using the new Do Not Play option is great if you only have a limited number of tracks to change. Having the option to make bulk select and deselect of Do Not Play would be a real time saver if there are many tracks to change.

Option to set not to play all tracks in a media category. If I have 1,000 tracks in my Christmas' category, now I have to do it track by track.

Please devise a system whereby broadcasters are able to (temporarily) disengage all music categories....via a simple 'DO NOT PLAY' method.
As opposed to selecting EACH TRACK, for 'do not play'
I think, it's an important option to have.
Thank you.

This would be immensely helpful for programming holiday tracks - the ability to quickly enable/disable them would be wonderful.

The "do not play" should be available through the same interface for "bulk changes" under "Edit Type/Category".

To hand enter a list of 'seasonal' songs one by one is a pain.

Additionally, the songs that are not played should be 'greyed out' A visual sign that they are being played or not

There's certain music that you may only wish to play at a specific time or season. Ex: Christmas music. Yes I can flag them all as Do Not Play and put together under a Playlist. But what if I wanted to use a Clockwheel. A Do Not Play for a Category would solve this easily. So next Christmas if I want to use a clockwheel and incorporated Christmas music, I'll have to unflag all the christmas tunes. This is a major pain. Thank you

The Tracks page on the Dashboard already has bulk edit options for Type, Categories, and Metadata. Please include "Status", too.

As a program Director, this would allow us to toggle play/don't play for groups of songs, instead of one by one, for quick programming. For instance, I can turn off all songs I don't want to play, categorized Sunday, until Sunday.

I have 100's of different Tracks for Halloween and also Christmas, that I mark as "Do Not Play" when the Season is Over. This feature would save a Ton of Time.

I have over 1300 holiday music tracks that I need to take out of the rotation by January 1. It would be great to have a bulk/global "do not play" option available.

Please support this change. I had to check individually over 100 Christmas songs to NOT PLAY because there is no bulk action I can do.

Bulk action is preferable over individual edits
