Brian, I’ve been wanting the same thing. I was thinking of writing a RLM to do it. It would look at the next thing in the log and replace an empty voice track with a cart that contains liners.

Re: [RDD] Substitute Voice Track If Missing
I’ve been looking at exactly the same situation, though we also want to add “power intros” to songs if the presenter doesn’t voicetrack a link (where the intro contains audio relating to the next track to be played). The solution I’m working on breaks all the Rivendell rules about not editing the database, but as it’s only the current log I’m hoping the opportunity for damage is minimal. Basically we have VT markers in the log before tracks which get voicetracked. Then we have a PHP script that will run just before midnight when the log is due to be loaded. Basically this will (it’s not finished yet) find any VT track that’s not been allocated a card number, get the cart number of the next track and then do a lookup on the ALBUM field of any cart in a special IMGINT group. This group contains just the intros and in the album field we put the cart number of the related music track. If a matching intro cart is found the cart number is swapped in the log table with the power intro cart (this seems to work, but might be unwise). If one is not found, a generic station ID is used.
