Every now and then we get new users registering on the RadioDJ forums who start kicking off Because the software isn't doing what they want it to do within 5 minutes of installing it. Woah! Back up and take stock for a couple of minutes! It takes time and PATIENCE to get to grips with what RadioDJ is capable of. People had tried helping a recent user who threw his toys out of the pram on the forums about track rotations. When I first installed RadioDJ way back in 2010 it took me a while to figure out the optimal rotation setttings. When you program a rotation you need to make sure there are enough songs in the category and subcategory for the rotation to pick items from In newer versions of RadioDJ if you click on EDIT at the right hand side of your rotation entry it tells you how many files you have available for that rotation to pick from. Its not exactly rock science

RadioDJ Track Rotations (AutoDJ Selector)

So you've installed RadioDJ and imported your music and you're stuck as to what track rotations are let me try and explain a little. Track Rotations in RadioDJ selects the music only from the categories you tell it to choose from, You can have multiple rotations for different moods, just don't forget to save the rotation once you've created it. Also make sure when creating a rotation item that the repeat rules boxes are checked so you don't have any repetition in songs. Important: Try not to apply repeat rules to Sweepers, Jingles or Station ID's You need them to be available for the rotation to load into the queue. I loaded my jingles by Least recently played and sometimes Random when I ran a backup stream for another radio station about 10 years ago. Example: You pick your rotation items by clicking on + button you can choose from four different options. You can duplicate an item in your rotation by using the duplicate button.
