Playlist Intervals Feature

Playlist Intervals Feature

The Playlist Intervals feature introduced in SonicPlayer allows you to automate and control your broadcast flow with precision. This system enables playlists to run automatically at defined intervals, specific times, or selected days.

Playlist Intervals are available in the client-side SP left menu and work seamlessly with AutoDJ, allowing endless scheduling combinations.

The following playlist types can now be used as intervals:

  • Jingle playlists

  • Daily playlists

  • Specific day playlists

  • News playlists

  • Top songs playlists

  • Hourly ID or announcement playlists

  • Root shared playlists

Jingles are now treated as regular playlists, making them fully compatible with the interval system.


Playlist Interval Options

This feature includes the following advanced options:

  • Play a number of songs every X minutes

  • Play all songs every X minutes

  • Play a number of songs after every X songs

  • Play a number of songs every hour at a specific :MM

  • Play a number of songs every day at HH:MM

  • Play a number of songs on specific days at HH:MM

  • Play a number of songs every X hours at :MM

  • Optional On Air Mix option


Hourly and Daily Scheduling

Playlist Intervals support precise hourly and daily scheduling.

For example, playlists can be scheduled:

  • Every hour at exactly :00

  • At specific times during the day

  • Only on selected days

This provides full control over broadcast automation.


Timezone Awareness

One of the most powerful aspects of this system is its timezone awareness.

Playlist Intervals:

  • Do not rely on AutoDJ process start time

  • Use the client’s local timezone

  • Run at the exact configured minute

This ensures accurate and predictable scheduling.


Smart Anti-Repetition System

Even in random play mode, the interval system:

  • Prevents tracks from playing back-to-back

  • Avoids tracks repeating too close to each other

This results in a smoother and more professional broadcast flow.
