    Hi,

    Thanks for your interest in Campcaster. Unfortunately, Campcaster doesn't
    have the ability to generate 'randomized' playlists at this time. It is
    one of the most-requested features that different users have (streaming is
    another big one), but because this is a community project, the feature
    won't get built unless the community either donates the programming code
    or the resources to make this happen. If you're interested in helping out
    with either of these, we'd be more than happy to discuss this with you.


    Best regards,

    douglas

    Hey there!

    I represent a small community radio station in Massachusetts, USA that is
    thying out different automation programs.

    After reviewing CampCaster I have one big question: is there a way to
    'randomize' the play lists? Meaning, can CampCaster pick items to insert
    into a playlist that are from a group (say, grouped by artist or genre)
    and then play them out? This would apply to both music and non-music files
    (PSAs, promos, station IDs).

    Basically, we want to automate during those times where no one is in the
    station, but do not want to have to make play lists for each hour. Also,
    some items (like the non-music items) expire after a time, and it seems a
    little difficult to re-program those instead of an engine that will pick
    them randomly.

    Thanks!
