No expert here and not speaking from personal experience but from memory of other list posts I think it would be good for you to overfill the hour with music. Perhaps put all 3 minute songs with some 2 minute songs at the tail end of the hour. (Assuming your songs average 3 minutes.) You need to make it basically impossible for the music to run out before the hour ends. I need to try this myself so I can speak from experience next time. all the best, drew _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
