Insert random jingle/promo

Very often I'll want to play out a jingle, promo or stab in a particular place, but without it being a particular jingle, promo or stab. Having to choose and insert them manually is very time consuming. As a compromise between manual selection and full automation, it would be extremely useful to be able to insert a random jingle/promo/stab into the playout log. This could be done by right-clicking in the playout log where you want the item to be inserted. This would then bring up a contextual menu allowing you to choose what you want to insert. This could pull in either track group names or PlayIt file types, allowing the user to insert a random jingle/promo/stab. It could also be done using a drag-and-drop special item.

If your jingles/promos and stabs are in your library and you've set up suitable groups you can add them to clocks. Eg I have a group called Jingles weekend Sweepers which only contains dry vouchers to play over intros. Easy to drag and drop from the library too. You could have a special soft group comprising the 3 other groups for added randomness.
