Project Goals

• Fix Automation
• re Impelement Song Request System
• Delete Duplicate Songs
• Implement DJ Reporting System
• Implement Combined Logging System

3
Automation

• Current System Works, but With Problems
• Sometimes Dead Air After Songs
• Always Dead Air After Station IDs and PSAs
• Works With Current Number of Songs But More Songs
  Would Mean More Dead Air

4
Automation 2.0

• Automation is threaded so the next song is picked
  while the current song is still playing - thus
  reducing dead air
• Anticipates errors and recovers gracefully from
  them
• Better logging of output

Song Request System

• Old Request System - No Longer In Place
• Relied Heavily on phpBB
• Plan was to simply remove all of the phpBB code
  and everything should work.

Easy Right??

DJ Reporting

• Currently DJs write down songs they play on a
  piece of paper
• Someone later types up the sheet
• Extremely Inefficient Process

18
New Web Based System

• New System Utilizes a Web based interface that
  allows DJs to report their music online
• This data is stored in a database that can easily
  be exported to a file
• Much More Efficient
