Yep! We do a "Make Next" in Rivendell @ :58 minutes into the hour. Then import as much music as I can into each Hour. The ID should fire between :58 & :02, it will drop excess songs that are imported.
If an hour falls a couple of minutes short, the ID will fire a little early, but hopefully the next hour will have enough music in it to catch back up. Not fail proof but it does what you ask it to do. Biggest problem I have with this is that Rivendell will only allow so much to be scheduled in each hour. What I mean by that is you may schedule 68 minutes of music and Rivendell may drop the last song leaving only 63 minutes. To most people that is enough to fill the hour...I like a little insurance.
