MusicLine is an interactive jukebox that allows your listeners to request their favorite song; MB STUDIO PRO receives the SMS message - WhatsApp - Telegram - email, processes it and automatically plays the requested song, and it reply to the listener communicating the broadcast time, except in cases where it will not be possible to accept the request for some reason such as incorrect typing, minimum distance between songs by the same performer, song not enabled at a certain time, song already requested etc etc....

To activate MusicLine operation you must first activate MB SMS: INSTALLATION ON YOUR PHONE , or the email service and then enter the MB STUDIO Configuration \ Phone and enable the "Activate MusicLine Service" option.

If you wish to limit the number of requests coming from the same number, adjust the "Limit requests from same sender" field by putting the number of requests accepted; if you leave it at 0 there will be no limit. This function is important to prevent some "disturber" from having fun flooding your playlist. Keep in mind that every time the MusicLine service is deactivated and then reactivated, the call counter is reset and therefore the telephone number that had been blocked is re-enabled again.

Only songs that have the MusicLine flag active can be requested by listeners.
To activate a song, open its properties and activate the MusicLine option.

If you need to activate the option on multiple songs at the same time, select the type of songs to enable via the filter, then from the menu Edit - Select all songs - then right-click any one and choose Multiple Replacements; activate Properties / Musicline Song, then click "Replacements", turn on only the "MusicLine Song" flag and click APPLY.

Songs that have MusicLine activated are displayed with a hash # in the M. column. .

 

Now let's see how to compose a request via SMS - WhatsApp - Telegram - email:
the syntax is artist*title <---- if the asterisk (star) is not entered the musical request is ignored
Example:

mariadele*i would leave everything

carmen consoli*april shower


Since listeners will rarely be able to write an interpreter or title with the correct syntax, it is possible to write names or partial titles leaving MB STUDIO to do the work to search for the missing text.
Example:
the listener writes grignani*miami MB STUDIO intends it as gianluca grignani - lady miami
the listener writes pony*around MB STUDIO intends it as international pony - hangin' around


It is preferable that the listener summarizes the message as much as possible, because the title can contains many apostrophes or quotation marks or abbreviations that can lead to confusion.

It is also possible to request a song by typing only the numeric code of the song. The song code is visible in the MB STUDIO song list in the "Index" column. Example: *2665 requires the song with index number 2665

When a message arrives, MB STUDIO PRO analyzes the request and immediately places it in the on-air playlist (obviously respecting the priorities of the time sequences or previous musicline requests).
A message will be sent to the listener with the song broadcast time; if it is not possible to program the requested song, a communication will still be sent to the listener.

To activate/deactivate MusicLine at certain times or certain days of the week, you must use MB STUDIO PRO Agenda function . From the Edit - Agenda Programming menu, press ADD, activate the INTERNAL COMMAND option and select "Activate MUSICLINE service", then adjust the time and days of the week in which the service should start.
The same thing will happen ' made for the time you want to interrupt the service.

All requests are stored in the message list window
