It looks like you really need a precise scheduler: At some point you have to know the duration of your ending jingle to start playing it in advance. Seems like the best place to do this is when you build the playlist for the show. I wonder if the recently announced "airtime" system could be a solution for you. > I'm not too sure what you are saying here.

I sure hope not! Correct. The last child (filler in that example) is the only one that can produce several tracks in a sequence. > Btw, do I need 'track_sensitive=true' in my 'Switch Schedule'? Depends what you want, but from your other mail it looks like you want shows to start exactly at the expected time. This is obtained by setting track_sensitive=false (true is the default). But it comes at the cost of interrupting the current song in the old show -- a transition can be used to make this sound okay, though.
