Hi Admin ,
I have an issue that related to the repetition of songs specially at A,B,C Playlists ... its the new songs playlists according to radio programing principles , so can you help me to avoid the vertical repetition at the same day , and horizontal repetition at the different day ,but at the same time .

Can you give me references or options to face this problem .

Thank you for caring ;)

Vertical: Take a look to the Global Restriction "Do not play a track again in the same hour plus/minus:" X hours.
Horizontal: Take a look to the "Global Song History".

Both can be found in the general settings, section 'Logging/History.
And are explained in this tutorial video: https://youtu.be/fJknoxnXOAQ

You can use any global macro in the global log file, e.g. ${progcurrentname} or ${cplname}
Take a look to the User Manual Appendix, there you'll find all available macros listed.
