Duh, RadioDJ is AWESOME. However, the voice tracking ‘features’ leave you wanting more. If you use rotations to run your station, I have stumbled on a trick to automatically add voice tracks to song intros. AND, most important, prevent audio train wrecks! My hack guarantees RadioDJ will only choose songs with intros to fit the length of your voice tracks. Say it with me, “Super cool, RadioDJ Dude!”. AND, you can pull this off in just four easy steps.

Part of the “How-To” requires a lil’ database coding. Deep breath, you got this. I’m a coding jackwad and I even made it work. This is a query to assign songs with intro times greater than :15 to the Gender category of “Mixt”. You can choose other parameters from the Other tab in the Music Import section to assign this to.

SQL Query:

UPDATE `songs` SET `gender`='Mixt' WHERE `song_type`=0 AND `enabled`=1 AND `id_genre`=143 AND `cue_times` Not LIKE '%int=15.%' AND `cue_times` Not LIKE '%int=14.%' AND `cue_times` Not LIKE '%int=13.%' AND `cue_times` Not LIKE '%int=12.%' AND `cue_times` Not LIKE '%int=11.%' AND `cue_times` Not LIKE '%int=10.%' AND `cue_times` Not LIKE '%int=9.%' AND `cue_times` Not LIKE '%int=8.%' AND `cue_times` Not LIKE '%int=7.%' AND `cue_times` Not LIKE '%int=6.%' AND `cue_times` Not LIKE '%int=5.%' AND `cue_times` Not LIKE '%int=4.%' AND `cue_times` Not LIKE '%int=3.%' AND `cue_times` Not LIKE '%int=2.%' AND `cue_times` Not LIKE '%int=1.%' AND `cue_times` Not LIKE '%int=0.%' AND `cue_times` Not LIKE '%int=-%'

**You need to change id_genre to match yours
