This feature is available only in kJams 2.0!

A "manual" rotation is you have full control over. It is not an un-edtable "smart" playlist, it is more like a regular playlist. 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 several places if you like
  • insert "ShowScreen Songs" into the cue
  • filler music that has no singer
  • singers can still use the web or wtkJams to manage their lists
  • Total control over the your rotation playlist

Cons:

  • new singer songs are added to the end of the playlist in whatever order they happen come in (not automatic interleave), meaning you MUST maintain the proper order of singers

How To

  • Context-click a Rotation playlist, pick "Manual Rotation" to toggle it on or off!
  • Show the "Singer" sort column if it is not showing. Learn how to hide / show sort columns.
  • You can now assign a singer to a song, or let singers use wtkJams
  • to drag-reorder WITHIN a single singer, drag a singer's song and drop it on TOP of a different song by the SAME singer, holding down the OPTION / ALT key
