Hi Renee,
What you want is a little complicated, but not too bad.
If you look at some of the samples, they do use variables. I will try to
pick one later today or tomorrow.
I am sure there are other ways, but what I would do is set up three sources.
1) The live source
2) A random source that points to the directory with your music, that has a
boolean switch to enable/disable, and an 'on_end' event handler.
3) A singleton with your "This Station is Current off Air" loop.
In the "on_end" event.. you can increment the counter, and if it is more
than 10, set the boolean to false, so the random source stops at the next
song, and Liquidsoap will fall back to the singleton.
Regards from USA.
