Thanks for the replies. We don't use dropboxes, we import files directly from the local drive. I always check segment length when importing against the original file. I am 100% sure the files are interrupted, because later they would play at their correct length. I overschedule music and I tried to use Hard Times - Make Next to ensure that priority events played out. But I think that the best solution is to give extra breathing room in the clocks to important events. I try to use "anchors" on top of the hour like a Hard Time - Start Immediately with a news countdown or a second of silence to anchor the broadcast. I'm not sure how to make it when overscheduling so that the broadcast is on schedule without at least a song at the end of the hour being interrupted by an "anchor" event.
