● Message Files and «SPOT» directory:
Messages are stored into one single directory called « SPOT». Inside this directory, sub-directories are
created to identify broadcast situations.
..\SPOT
SPT001 directory name
message.mp3
SPT002 shop advertising
jingle_intro.mp3

jingle_end.mp3

A sub-directory SPTxxx may contain one or several files. This way, spots of adverts can easily be
created and the files will be read one after the other.
SPTxxx sub-directories hold the files to be broadcast. All file names are allowed as long as they are
made of letters and figures. Accent and special characters are not permitted.
The name is made of 3 letters, designating the SPOT folder, followed by 3 figures from 000 to 999 and an
optional parameter between brackets.
Broadcast programs can be created with the programming software to playback messages at given
dates and times, i.e. customer announcements, news, adverts and promotions…
The directory SPOT cannot be read on manual trigger and the files do not appear in the browser through
DATA button. The message could be played using the RS232 serial link or from Ethernet.
If an action has been programmed involving a missing directory, this action will be ignored.

● Playlist files and «PLAYLIST directory:
To complement playback of the Music directories and to facilitate updates, My Music Player manages
playlists.
A list of tracks called «Playlist» is a file created by a computer software which just lists titles of tracks to
be played. Playlist files are light files and can therefore be copied very quickly.
The music library of audio files is stored in directories MUS000 to MUS999. The playlists instruct My Music
Player which audio files must be broadcast. As playlists and audio files are stored separately, playlist
files can be updated to create a new broadcast program without the need of copying new audio files;
audio files do not have to be copied in several directories and broadcast can be easily and precisely
controlled.
Playlists are stored in a dedicated directory: PLAYLIST
Inside this directory, a sub-directory level is available to store one or several Playlists.
