Philip AdminWhen a file is uploaded with the *exact* same name as a track already in the library, users want it to be replaced instead of making a duplicate. This can be useful when the broadcaster needs to update the file with a better edit or corrected bit rate/sample rate.

Maggie GPhillip, what if a pop-up appeared and asked which we prefer when an exact match is uploaded... duplicate, replace, or cancel? That way, if it's an accidental duplication, it won't be uploaded again. If it's an updated version, it can replace the old version. And, if it's the same song, but something's different about it (artist, album, release date, etc), it can be labeled differently.

Progressive Rock AZUSAI would like to be able to do this as well. I need to re-mix some of my ID's and Promo's and being able to overwrite the current versions would save time and effort.

ZebI completely agree with Philip that all that should be required to replace an existing file in a library is to upload a NEWER copy of it with the exact same filename. Otherwise, you're going to start getting unintended duplicates, files with a (2) and (3) after their names, etc. Overwrite old file with new file, be done with it.

Philip AdminThis feature would be most useful for those who are using ClockWheels and have "top of the hour" events which get updated with fresh content every week. This way, the user could delete and upload the new file and the ClockWheel template (or playlist) will pick up on the change immediately (24 hour selection window, of course)

jim MergedI have a wheel running all day, if I add a weather forecast at 6am, it will play all day, even if I update the file. Would be nice to be able to update elements dynamically, maybe have a minimum advance time (say 15 minutes) so that a newly recorded weather report could be inserted into the weather slot when it comes up.
Maybe there is a way to do this, but if so - (other than a 1 hour playlist) I am not aware of how to execute this. -

Ionut Sarghi MergedIt would be useful if we could replace the current tracks in our library with others with the same ID tags, without having to delete them and re-upload.

Progressive Rock AZUSA MergedThis would help me a lot! I want to equalize the audio on all of my tracks (didn't do it initially when I set up my station in 2018), but I haven't tackled it due to having to delete old tracks first.

Deus Entertainment MergedWe, unfortunately, have duplicate songs uploaded. The songs have the same file name but if the metadata varies slightly the duplicate file will be allowed in the library. There is no easy way to find them.

Shaun Mergedone thing that I think would benefit broadcasters who use LIVE DJ all the time is Auto Song Detection and Live365 should add that into their new encoder this would be easier for broadcasters who use syndicated shows for their stations

Brian Martinez MergedHow about using a "Shazam"-type application that would automatically pull artist/title information from a sampling of a song playing in a pre-recorded block of programming. The new multitrack feature is a bit cumbersome and time consuming if you're manually inputting each song's info (artist/title/album) on a pre-recorded show's audio file. I know it's a new feature, but it has a lot of flaws especially with tracks playing out of sequence, timestamps not lining up when you schedule the multitrack in "events", as well as skipping audio when the new track information is loaded on the player display.

Robert T. MergedIt would be great if there was a function that would enable us to detect duplicates in our uploaded libraries.

Shaun MergedConsider adding AUDIO FINGERPRINTING STREAM MONITORING TECHNOLOGY. this will help big time for broadcasters that air syndicated shows with 3rd party automation software

Eldon Diaz-Henderson MergedIt would be nice o be able to overwrite existing files so that files for syndicated programs could replace the older files of the same name and events could simply play out the new file when the time came. I'm finding it a real battle to try to do what was easy with our last service.
