This article details Spinitron's timing of metadata push events and cancellation policy, in which the Default Duration and Max Duration configurations play their part.
Spinitron's metadata push feature sends now-playing song updates to things such as stream servers, RDS encoders and the like.
We assume that the receiver of a push message updates its display to users when it receives the message. So the timing of when Spinitron sends the message is important.
If Spinitron has advance knowledge of a spin, it schedules to send its push messages at the spin's timestamp. But if is told about the spin late, which can easily happen with manual playlist entry, then it will either push the message immediately, if the information is not too old, or not at all.
Spinitron v1 stored music data and playlists in a database that separates entities into tables of artists, spins, disks, and labels (see terminology below). Another table called appearances connected them in the sense: an artist has appearances on one or more disks, a disk has appearances of one or more artist, and an appearance (of an artist on a disk) can feature in one or more spins. The design was partly motivated by the theory of database normalization (I'd give a link if I could find a good one). Here's a simplified diagram of this schema.
The idea was that a relational database of a station's music library would emerge as its staff use Spinitron. As DJs enter spins into playlists, Spinitron would automatically manage the artists, disks and labels and their relations. This would allow users to search and brow
Trim overlap in NPR playlist logs for SoundExchange Reporting
Trim playlist log overlap in NPR SoundExchange reports
If your station's SoundExchange reports are processed by NPR then you send them, among other things, a Playlist Log conforming to
NPR's specification.
NPR playlist logs have one row per spin and six columns:
Title | Artist | Album | Label | Start Time | End time
Spinitron does not have an end time field and instead has duration. When we prepare an NPR playlist log, we calculate end time for each spin by adding its duration to its start time.
Spinitron v2 API suplemental endpoint for backwards compatibility
Spinitron v2 API backwards compatibility
This endpoint is suplemental to the Spinitron v2 API and provides an alternative to the POST /spins enpoint for compatibility with applications that need to present spin metadata as query parameters in the request URL.
