Importing Music Into Dira For Immediate Use

Music imported using this workflow will not log automatically – you must log all tracks manually using Sable PLG.

You Will Need

  • A track downloaded from desktop jukebox or ripped from CD

Quick Guide

  1. Open file in StarTrack - then save as to database, normalising to -10dB in the first pop-up box and and selecting Music Diga in the second pop-up box.
  2. Fill in the Take Data Card – First the title, spelled correctly. Capitalise the first letter of each word. Then artist – type name in performers box half way down the card. Clik the ‘+’ sign – if the artist is already known the name will go bold. If not, you’ll be prompted to add a new artist.
  3. Tick send data to public display - the artist name and title will appear on listeners DAB and Freeview. This displays exactly as you have typed them. It is very important to be accurate.
  4. Click OK – you can now search for the track in Highlander and drag it into a schedule for playout.
