The RDCartSlots module has the ability to load and play a slot directly from a file. It does so by creating a temporary cart 'on the fly' and then importing the selected audio into it. When the slot is unloaded, the cart is automatically deleted. So, not quite 'import free', but effectively so inasmuch as the user doesn't have to think about or directly deal with cart numbers or importation at all. > Is this the case because I am unable to find any reference or how to set it > up. This would be a great feature to have at our station! Just make sure that the 'Temporary Cart Group' field in RDAdmin->SystemSettings is set to a group with sufficient free carts. It should otherwise 'just work'. Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.
