SONGS: ADD OR DELETE A GENRE

The "Genre" selector located in the property of a song, shows the musical genres of all the songs already in the archive. To add, and then create a new musical genre click inside the selector and write with the keyboard the new genre:

For compatibility with the format tags ID3v1 the genre field it's limited to 10 characters, but you can also use the comment field to extend the description of the song.

To delete a music genre from the list you must delete or edit all the songs belonging to that genre, until there is a song having that genre it will be visible in the selector.

RANDOM SONG: BY ARTIST OR BY TITLE

The RANDOM SONG item allows you to add a random song to the playlist or break. The song is randomly selected between all the songs according the specified parameters.

The comment box also allows you to specify one or more words that must be present in the comment field of the song. For example, if you write the comment "sanremo" must be selected a song that has the word "sanremo" in his comment.

It's also possible to request a random song from a specific artist: just type in the comment box the name of the artist preceded by a semicolon, as in the image above, for example, ;madonna. With this method you can also make a playlist of songs by a single artist (in this case the rules of distance are ignored).

Yet you can request a random song by a word in the title. For example to request a song where the title contain the word "love" write in the comment box double semicolon word and therefore ;;love
