Rotation/Manual

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)

How To

• Pick or make a new Playlist
• Name it something you'll remember, like "Manual Rotation"
• Context Click it and pick "Playlist is used for Manual Rotation"
• Show the "Singer" sort column. 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 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
