First, A word about Chart Automation: The Digital DJ Music System™ recalculates your four charts like this:
General: The system automatically recalculates all charts every day at 12:30am assuming the Digital DJ Music System™ is running at the time.
Requests Chart: The system automatically recalculates the top 75 requests (Driven by the monthly total). This in turn automatically activates the 2x play option. The system will then create an automatic playlist called
"TopRequest". This will appear on the program manager under this title. You can then adjust the play schedule or use this entry name "TopRequest" as a GP entry in
SCHEDULE PRO schedule to play the chart at a specific time and day. By default, there is an entry for this. You can shut the schedule entry off when you don't want to use it. (Upper right corner) smiley face or frown when off.
Top 40, Top Country, and Top Dance Charts: The System also has created automatic playlists called "TopDance, TopCountry, And Top40". These will appear on the program manager with the associated titles. You can then adjust the play schedule Like the "TopRequest" list above.
Note: The "2X Play" logic turns on automatically if a song is listed on one or more of these charts. 2X Play allows Digital DJ to play this selection twice as much. Example: If you have programmed the song to play a max of Day=1, Week=5, Month=20 then, 2X Play will allow plays up to twice those amounts.
In the Program Director CHARTS/DETAIL tab and in the CHARTS screen, Top 40 / Country / Dance: Allows you to enter the current chart position for the selected song. The Top40 / Country / Dance headings do not have to represent the actual type of chart indicated. You can use each chart for your own type of music.
Notes about the Requests Chart, the Digital DJ automatically re-calculates all of your requests entered on the Jukebox/Player on a daily basis. The top 75 will appear automatically in this field. You may edit this field but, it is not suggested because it will be erased on a daily basis.
