In MusicMix, the following Source Codes must be used: Source "CD" or "TR" are
used for CD players. Source "VO" (Voice-Overs) is used for specific title Intros
and Outros.
Arrakis assigns a unique file name on your hard drive to each audio event. For
"VO" Source (intros and outros), the file name will become the letter "V",
followed by the first two days of the week, followed by a four digit number
which corresponds to the time the Voice-Over is scheduled (in military time).
For example a Voice-Over scheduled on Monday at 12:01 PM would be recorded on
the hard drive in a file named "VMO1201", Tuesday at 1:11 am would be "VTU111".
For events with Source of "VO", any "Source Number" or "Bin" will be ignored.
For "CD" or "TR" Source, the file name becomes "CDxxyyzz" where "x" is the Bin
(magazine), "y" is the Source Number (disc number), and "z" is the cut number.
For all other sources, the file name becomes "SSyyyyzz" where "SS" is the
Source, "y" is the Source Number, and "z" is the cut number.
Technical Information:
1) The daily playlists are output to the user selected path as "Tmmddyy.DIG"
where "T" is constant, "mmddyy" is month, date, and year of the playlist. They
are erased after 14 days.
2) The library file is output as "LIBRARY.DIG" to the same path.
3) Both files are standard ASCII Standard Data Format text files with one record
per line. Records are delimited by CR/LF, fields are delimited by spaces.
