Playlist Generator

Generate balanced playlists from your TeoCast library

Use Playlist Generator to build a ready-to-review sequence from eligible library content. It helps you prepare a playlist faster while you keep control over the final on-air order.

Playlist PlanningLibrary-Based WorkflowAbout 10 Minutes

Prepare the library first

Playlist Generator can only work with the audio that is available and organized in your TeoCast library. Review the source content before you generate a playlist.

  • Import the music and station content you intend to use.
  • Confirm that titles, artists, categories and durations are correct.
  • Remove outdated, duplicate or unsuitable tracks from the source selection.
  • Keep commercials and scheduled station elements in their normal workflow unless they are intentionally part of this playlist.
Tip: A well-organized library gives the generator more useful choices and reduces manual cleanup afterward.

Configure the Playlist Generator

Open Playlist Generator and define the type of sequence you want TeoCast to prepare. Use only settings that match the purpose of the broadcast hour or program.

1

Open Playlist Generator

Start from the playlist or library workflow, then open the Playlist Generator controls.

2

Choose the source content

Select the relevant library category, rotation group or available source options for the playlist you need.

3

Set the target size

Choose the desired number of items, duration or available generator target for the planned segment.

4

Review repeat and separation options

When available, use repeat, artist-separation or category rules that suit your station format.

Generate and review the result

Generate the playlist, then treat the result as a planned sequence that still needs an on-air review.

1

Run the generator

Start the generation process and allow TeoCast to create the proposed track order.

2

Check titles and flow

Review the songs, artists, durations and overall energy of the generated list before using it.

3

Make manual corrections

Move, remove or replace any item that does not fit the current program, audience or station policy.

Always review before air: Playlist Generator accelerates preparation, but the broadcaster remains responsible for the final music and station-content order.

Apply or save the generated playlist

When the order is ready, use the available Playlist Generator action to place the result in the Playlist Queue or save it for later use.

Use in the current queue

Add the reviewed result to the active playlist only after confirming it will not replace content you still need on air.

Save for a future program

Save the final selection with a clear name that identifies the program, date, format or rotation purpose.

Use with Scheduler

For clock-based automation, keep the generated music plan aligned with the appropriate Music Clock and scheduled advertising workflow.

Keep a backup plan

Retain a reusable saved playlist or library pool for live substitutions and unexpected programming changes.

Final on-air quality check

Before playback, confirm that the list is suitable for the current broadcast segment.

  • No unsuitable repeats, duplicate tracks or back-to-back artist conflicts.
  • The total length suits the available program time.
  • Station IDs, sweepers, commercials and voice breaks are handled in the intended workflow.
  • The first upcoming item is correct before starting or continuing playback.

Common Playlist Generator problems

Too few tracks are generated

Broaden the selected source, add more eligible music to the library, or reduce restrictive generator rules.

Unexpected tracks appear

Review the selected category or source pool, then remove unsuitable items from that group before generating again.

The order needs changes

Use manual playlist editing after generation. The generator is intended to speed up preparation, not remove editorial control.

Playlist does not fit the hour

Adjust the target duration or item count, then generate a new result and account for scheduled breaks.
