How can I automatically generate a rules compliant playlist?

A rules compliant playlist is created from any playlist window by inserting rotation or template items into the playlist. This may be done by clicking the ROTATION button, which permits you to select the additional item as music, commercial or station ID item. The backboneServer automatically chooses an appropriate item conforming to the pre-selected rules and inserts it into the selected location in the playlist.

Each time the playlist is generated, a new set of items take the place of these rotation items. When the playlist goes live to air, it will be automatically updated to comply with broadcast rules based on what has been broadcast previously. Existing playlist items can be converted into rotation items by checking the rotation check box to the left of that item on the playlist.

If I change my playlist will the rules compliance go away?

No. Playlists which contain template items will automatically be updated to comply with broadcast rules when the playlist goes to air. This means that your playlists will adapt to broadcast changes without having to regenerate your entire schedule. The default rule set provided is the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) Sound Recording Performance Complement.
