Thanks for your help, I really want to do this right. I created a new Group - B rotation for my test: http://imgur.com/MYcTr None of these songs have scheduler codes, and they all have exactly four plays, before starting this experiment. Then I created the event: http://imgur.com/mfsU4 Then I created an hour of music: http://imgur.com/nXV2Y I assigned this hour to all of Monday and Tuesday and generated a log for those two days. Then I guess that each song should be played the same amount of times, and that the song played on 00:00 at Monday, should be played at 01:00 on Tuesday. However that didn't happen. Heres the result:
Moony: 2 plays on Monday, 4 plays on Tuesday = 6 plays for the two days Soulmagic: 6 Monday, 4 Tuesday = 10 Missy Elliot: 5 Monday, 7 Tuesday = 12 Room 5: 7 Monday, 4 Tuesday = 12 Manijama feat. Mukupa: 4 Monday, 5 Tuesday = 9 The song with most plays, is played twice as many times as the least played song. Also they are played rather random. Here's the log for Monday: http://textsnip.com/3ed468 And Tuesday: http://textsnip.com/589435 What am I doing wrong? Thank you.
