It would be great if the time announce feature supported both a standard combination of hour + minute (as in "it's four..."-"...thirty-seven") and hour&minute-specific announcements (e,g, "It's seven o'clock" or "it's one minute to six") which would overwrite the standard hour + minute composition only where present.

I used a system like that one time. The time announce would generate the files five seconds before the event. It would rotate through a general file bank "The time now..." or "It's..." followed by the hour and the minute (at :00 it would say "o'clock"). Then there's the hour-less time announcements that would say "it's twelve minutes..." or "it's quarter past..." followed by "the hour." The file banks were saved in a special folder on the computer, and when it came time to generate the file, it would check the system clock and grab the corresponding files. Maybe, if there is a function to add a time announce event to the clock with an "hour-less option"?

This would be a huge feature

You could have your station voice record all times and system would handle playing right time file

This is the unique missing feature in the playit software.

I have managed to get around this by making a PHP script that puts the MP3 files together, and then this gets put into Playit as a URL. Not the tidiest way of doing it, but it works

We really miss this feature and unfortunately we will give up PlayIt Live to replace ZaraRadio ... It is very characteristic in Brazil's educational radios to regularly give time announcements. It's really a shame.

I would like this feature as well as temperature announce feature. E.G., Station Playlist features. Thanks!

I would also like time and temperature announcement features. Thanks!

For us, just a simples pip system for on the Hour and Half Hour. Copy of the Spanish system!

Awesome Jayson I think this would be big weather another voice or on air Preston. Weather would be great too.

It would be great to have this function of hours

This is for Samuel Hunt...could I get a copy of the time PHP script that you put together? Thanks [email protected]

It would be nice to automatically program the time signal etc. on my radio.

Yes, weather with temp announcement would be great.

We have managed to do this to a certain extent by creating 12 "hour" files and 7 "Day" files - by using dayparting we are able to say "It's just after one o'clock on Sunday"

Tied into this feature it would be nice to be able to assign a "jock" or presenter the hour or session, like the old Wizard did. Not only does this bring up their favourites on the cart pad, but can also assign the correct presenter to the correct time and temp announcements for example. Say you have a day with four different announcers and want to sound live, it would be great to assign those djs to their shift, say 9-12 and have their time files and temperature files play when required rather than one station voice. This is something I believe is lacking in most software since Wizard disappeared.
