Ability to play "blocks" (or mixes) of music and stay in compliance.
Various users are requesting a way to play a block of music as in a mixshow or similar/identical to a "top 20 countdown" in a scheduled show (Prerecorded). Broadcasters are asking of ways to stay compliant such as: Submitting a playlist as a txt file for reporting and/or having a tool to timestamp a large file in to smaller segments.
Included is an image form a different website that has the functionality of adding timestamps and tracks to a single file uploaded to their servers.

JohnYes! Please implement this. When I had to move from my previous broadcasting platform to LIVE365, I lost two very popular shows due to the licensing rules here.

97.3 The ARCHUGE plus for several reasons. Most of us could pre-record let's say an hour show with music, ID's etc, upload the mp3 in one file and schedule it. Or a 24 hour playlist. But, as it is, that can't happen since there is no way to send meta tag data to stay compliant. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE work on this ;)

Kevin McElroyThis is a very important feature Live 365 needs to offer. Presenters/DJs are what differentiates internet broadcasting from other music platforms in a positive way. They are the brand advocates companies like Live 365 can rely on to drive traffic to the platform.

Alim WilsonI was wondering if Live365 has any plans to put something like this in place, and is there a proposed time frame?

Ken Main97.3 The Arc wrote "as it is, that can't happen since there is no way to send meta tag data to stay compliant." There is a way to do this, but it's labor intensive. Cue sheets are simple text files that will run in tandem (real-time) with your pre-recorded program. We utilize a popular automation play out software that self-creates the cue sheet as you record the show. It captures any metadata you choose a few seconds before the music track starts. Most collection services accept them.

MPfreeUK RadioI remember on the old Live365 platform a broadcaster had created a little program called SendSongInfo which i used during live broadcasts which you could type in the meta data and would manually send Track, Artist, Album data to Live365. The DJ software I used went through mixing desk to a seperate computer which ran the broadcast software so was not involved in the stream itself so needed this little tool. Would be useful if a tool like this could be made again

Jay LehmannPlease add this. I air a few programs that are a solid block and it has been a struggle to try and find ways to to stay compliant.

GordonAs a syndicated show producer, I welcome the addition of .txt file or .csv file playlist uploads. Many Live365 stations are unable to air syndicated shows with the present setup. Please make this available. Thank you!

DennelI have been asking you guys about something like this for almost a year; this would certainly be greatly beneficial to those of us
who wish to produce prerecorded music shows and still be compliant. You guys really need to set this up immediately! -

GreggI don't see how stations could program an hour of music without commercials and still be in compliance.

JoelLet's see clearly in 2020! Surely there can be some flexibility to enable this, even if it means we need to manually insert timestamped cue points listing out the tracks.

HenryYes please! This would be fantastic to broadcast re-runs of live programming, or to be able to play uninterrupted sets from live recordings

DJ Crave MergedIt would be awesome to be able to provide Details in the Banner when a DJ does a LIVE set. That would really take Live365 to the next level.

Dan ZinkI agree, it only makes sense to have the ability to air pre-recorded music programs.

Shaun MergedI would love to see is live 365 allow broadcasters to air syndicated programming I would love to see a feature where you could submit the music lists from syndicated programs for music royalties.

CaptHughThis is still a very in demand feature and with the thread being over 2 years old there has been ample time to test solutions.
Perhaps as I write this you are having success! I play out (and pay out) my shows in real time and then archive them into 1 hour mp3's for distribution. Cue sheets as text files are provided by my archiving software. PLEASE IMPLEMENT!
It would also benefit podcasters who would like to remain compliant making your service VERY ATTRACTIVE to that growing market. -

Shaun MergedPlease do a feature to allow station owners to carry syndicated Programs on there stations and please provide a way for stations to submit song lists from the shows and also consider adding a way for the stream to automatically detect songs on a syndicated show if it is carried live adding this option will be a Huge welcome to stations who relay on syndicated shows for there station and will bring you new customers
-

ShaunYes please implement this along with syndicated shows

Hail WilsonAs it is now I separate the music in a prerecorded syndicated show in to separately metatagged mp3s. I find a point in the host's talk break to separate them, then just put them in the right order. This gives the appearance, for one, that the host's music is being played live in the studio, showing up as now and recently played tunes by artist and song.

D.BakeThis feature alone has prevented me from growing my station in the direction that I plan.
I am really enjoying having Live 365 host my station but this feature would push it over the top and really allow me to grow exponentially! I can't wait for the update to be pushed! 2021 is the year! -

Phil MorseYes, this is important. From a club DJ's point of view, DJs produce mixes which are treated as a whole body of work, that currently there is no way to play on Live365 legally, it seems. You should look at how Mixcloud does it, and incorporate this into your platform. Have another "category" of content type, called "DJ Mix", where the user uploads a completed mix, and also a play sheet. Even better, fingerprint the files yourselves automatically, as YouTube does.

ShaunI think the new syndicated show feature where you upload a Music log for each show to the server I think it should also work while you broadcast it live from your own automation software

Richard ElenThis should be done with a Cue file in the international standard cue file format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_sheet_(computing). You would upload the cue file and then select the audio file it refers to.
This file format is widely used in the industry and many playout systems already support it. If it was also available on the Live365 playout system this would represent a major advantage for many users. -
