Export logs to Myriad Playout — You can now choose Myriad Playout as your station's automation software and export each day as a Myriad v5 .mml log, with Absolute Time, Soft Time and Script commands, chained items, network advert breaks, and split breaks for any spot break set to Local Break. Each hour is titled with its clock's name, and a new Playback option in each clock's menu lets you pick Live Assist or AutoFade. DROP and SWEEP checkboxes next to CHAIN let you choose which items Myriad may drop to reach a Soft Time and which ones sweep into the next item.
Preview legacy broadcast audio in your browser — MusicOne now converts audio your browser can't play on its own on the fly, so you can preview it straight from your studio's library through CloudSync. That covers the older broadcast formats still used by systems like AudioVault: MP1, MP2 and MP3 audio stored inside WAV and Broadcast Wave (BWF) files. Just press play, as you would for any other song, with nothing to convert or re-import.
A Plays column for your categories — Music categories have a new Plays column showing how many times each song or packet has played in its current category. Turn it on from “Customize columns”, then sort by it or include it when you export visible columns to CSV. Removing a day now also takes back the plays of its packet songs and linked intros and outros, and reverting an hour takes back the plays of songs you placed in it by hand.
Adverts from your traffic log (beta) — You can now merge the adverts from your traffic log into an exported schedule, once support has switched this on for your station. Before you export, the Adverts panel tells you how many of the day's adverts will be placed, and why any are left out. A spot break that will receive adverts shows a megaphone badge, and hovering over it lists each advert with its advertiser (or file name) and length.
Copy a day into a new custom format — In your Default week, a day's “Duplicate to” menu now has a “Custom format” option. Give the copy a name and you get a new custom format with that day's clocks, hour by hour, ready to edit.
Sort your library by cart number — You can now sort a category or library view by the Cart # column, in natural order, so cart 2 comes before cart 10. It stays fast on large libraries.
AudioVault logs now include your breaks — Exported AudioVault logs now include a break line for every spot break, sized to that break's length, rounded up to whole minutes. AVScheduler then creates the break, and your traffic system can merge its spots into it.
Mark a category as voice tracks — A category can now be marked as voice tracks. Your exported logs then carry the voice track code for those items, so they reach AudioVault as voicetracks rather than ordinary audio.
Time Sync command for AudioVault — You can now add a Time Sync command to a clock from the AudioVault palette, and it exports correctly without anyone converting it for you.
Export logs to StationPlaylist — You can now choose StationPlaylist Studio or StationPlaylist Creator as your station's automation software. Studio receives one playlist for each hour, and Creator one log for each day.
Improved
Logs reach your studio straight away — The CloudSync button no longer queues your logs. Each day is written straight to your studio and marked as synced only once CloudSync confirms the files arrived, and if other days are waiting you're asked whether to sync just this day or all of them. If CloudSync isn't connected, you're shown your export path and can download the log instead, and when you're syncing several days that screen offers to send them as soon as CloudSync is back.
CloudSync asks before re-sending a day — Pressing CloudSync on a day the studio already has now asks before sending it again, says when it was last sent, and warns that changes made at the studio since, such as merged adverts, may be replaced. The History panel in the schedule sidebar has a new Synced row showing when the day last reached the studio. A quick double click on CloudSync or Download now sends or downloads the day only once.
Fewer manual stops from restricted hours — The scheduler now fills its search depth only with songs that can air in that hour, so a song restricted in that hour no longer causes a needless manual stop. A song restricted in every hour of the week is left out of rotation instead of blocking its category, and the Restricted Hours tab tells you so when you select every hour.
Forgotten 00:00 time markers are caught — Time markers now always show their time on clock and schedule rows, 00:00 included. A marker left at 00:00 below the top of the hour can make your automation skip everything before it, so it now gets an amber warning, and the player command dialog won't save it until you set the time it should fire, such as 59:59. A 00:00 marker at the very top of the hour is still fine.
Category filters look inside packets — Filtering a category by tempo, gender or sound code now checks the songs inside packets too. A packet shows only when one of its songs matches, and it opens to list just those songs with a count such as “1 of 3 items”. Shift-click, drag-select and the media dialog's previous and next buttons now only move through the songs you can see.
MusicOne imports bring across more of your clocks — Importing a legacy MusicOne (.m1) file now keeps clock commands and sweep markers on Myriad stations, macros such as RELAY 1 on Simian stations, and, where it safely can, clock positions that play straight from a packet. The email telling you your station is ready now lists what the import left out, including how many clock items could not be brought across.
More protection for your account and Sync API Key — Adding a passkey now asks for your password (and your two-factor code, if it's on), and you get an email whenever a passkey is added. Turning on two-factor authentication or choosing “Set up again” for your authenticator app now asks you to confirm it's you first, and resetting your password signs you out on every browser and device. The Sync API Key in Preferences → CloudSync is now shown only to the organisation owner and organisation settings editors.
New release notes are easier to spot — When you have unread release notes, the whole megaphone button in the top bar is now tinted green instead of showing a small dot. It lights up again when new entries are published to this month's notes, even if you already opened them.
Fixed
Rules see the songs next to production slots — Clock slots that play from a production category are now always labeled Production, so your rules check the songs on either side of them correctly. Where a wrong label used to hide a problem, you may see a new rule warning or manual stop on newly generated days. The clock editor now tells you when linked intro or outro tracks are removed from a production slot, and the schedule's Replace menu offers the same categories as the clock editor.
Stay signed in through brief interruptions — A brief connection hiccup no longer signs you out of the dashboard or signs CloudSync out, and both reconnect on their own. Logging out now also signs out your other open tabs straight away.
Imports keep your cart numbers — When an imported MusicOne, MusicMaster or PowerGold database gives the same cart to several items, the import now gives that cart to an item in one of your categories rather than simply the first one listed, so the copy that airs keeps its cart in your exported logs. Items that sit only in a legacy “(new …)” folder now land in New, and those only in a “(deleted …)” or “(network …)” folder land in Unassigned. None of these folders becomes a category anymore in a MusicOne import or from PlayoutONE through CloudSync, and if you already have one, new PlayoutONE carts no longer join it.
PlayIt logs point at the right track — Exported PlayIt logs now name your tracks the way your station looks them up, so rows stop being rejected when you import them. Stations that match on cart number keep working exactly as before.
Advert breaks keep the right time — In an exported PlayIt log, the advert break markers now show the running clock like every other line. They used to jump backwards in time.
Unassigned shows what is really unassigned — The Unassigned view now works out what is assigned from your categories and packets, instead of a stored flag that had previously drifted out of sync.
Preview days match the real schedule — On a day that isn't generated yet, the schedule preview now follows each clock item's restricted hours the same way the generated schedule does. It no longer shows items the real hour leaves out, so dropping a song onto one no longer fails.
Removing an artist or sound code finishes cleanly — Removing an artist or sound code now either completes fully or changes nothing, so songs are no longer left carrying a deleted sound code. A sound code that a rule still uses can't be deleted, and tracks linked to a removed song, artist or sound code can have their links edited again.
CSV imports no longer fail on a few rows — A CSV library import no longer fails completely when a few cart numbers already belong to the other media type, songs or tracks. Those rows are skipped and named, the rest of the file imports, and the preview now warns you when a file looks like it belongs in the other library.
Station settings stay on their own station — In Preferences → Stations, saving the Station settings of a station other than the one you have selected no longer puts its name and settings on your selected station. The station you edited now shows its new settings without a reload.
