Personally I rip at windows media lossless. Disk space is readily available, and I expect the bandwidth for streaming to continue to increase over time.

My station plays dj mixes ( about 60 minutes long each) all day long. I want to play the single songs (not mixes) in between every 3 mixes on the station. I know i can use this PAL below but i also want to have the tracks show up in the PLAYING.php page Playing.php will only show items with SONG TYPE (S) Read this pal PAL.Loop := True; PAL.WaitForPlayCount(3); CAT['Station IDs (All)'].QueueTop(smRandom, NoRules); as you can see its set to pull an item with SONGTYPE (S) but if i list the single songs with (S) and the mixes with (S) then there is no differenciating what SAM will pull up. I wanted to list the songs as TYPE ( P ) or something else but if i dont list them as (S) they will not be listed on PLAYING.php nor will you be able to find them when searching on PLAYIST.php What can i do here to have SAM specifically pull songs from a specific folder (folder in SAM PLAYLIST WINDOW *** NOT just a folder location on my computer) would i need to change the code on PLAYLST.PHP ?
