The exception is dayparting. where you have two versions of the song, one for before the watershed and one for after and use the daypart options to enforce the playing of the correct cut for the time. It is a good idea to make the before watershed cut evergreen in this case with the post watershed cut set with a dayparting option, as this avoids the possibility of accidentally leaving a gap in which neither cut is valid. > With each song on its own cart, you get to specify exactly when they'll > play, and you know what all the segues will be.

It is a specialist use case, but more then one cut in a music cart can sometimes be a valid thing to do, multiple different songs in a cart is usually doing it wrong however.
