This feature is available only in kJams 2.0!
A "manual" rotation is one in which you simply choose to use a regular "Playlist" as your rotation. You can assign a singer to any song, and you are free to arrange the rotation in any way you wish:
Pros & Cons
Pros:
- multiple songs per singer
- insert yourself in a few places
- insert "ShowScreen Songs" into the cue
- filler music that has no singer
- Total control over the your rotation playlist
Cons:
- new singer songs are added to the end of the playlist in whatever order they come in (not automatic interleave)
- broken: (to be fixed)
- singers deleting songs from wtkJams or web
- wtkJams view of the Rotation (empty)
- to investigate: switchable songs (this may not be possible)
