Hi guys,

Just out of curriosity, is there an open source alternative for Music
Scheduling ?

I can join the ideas of Morten. If Rivendell had just a few more features,
I would also not opt for an external scheduler.

A few things :
 -  Scheduler rules could just a little more advanced. for example : choise
between : Don't play after and only play after.
- An "add button" to add an extra rule (not limited to 3)
- The 'last played'-time altered to 'last-scheduled' time.
- Title seperation based on 'last-played' time

One of the biggest issues, with almost every music scheduler, would
entering data.
I have looked into 'Rapid Evolution 3' by Mixshare, It is a piece of
freeware soft, which is very popular in the DJ world. (
http://www.mixshare.com/software.html)
It gets every single parameter you need out of your library. (except for
intro times and gender)

I've tested it on /var/snd. (Runs under JAVA, thus also under linux) and
with in half an hour I had all the information I needed. nicely written in
an XML data file.

But since I am a NOOB in databases, it still sits there. And not able to
merge it in MySQL

This would be a great feature, and would put you miles ahead of competition.

Even if this data ought to be loaded in an external sheduler, I would still
be a massive time saver.


Until then, I will stick to the ol'scheduling rules ;)

Cheers,
Peter
