RadioDJ has some predefined track types:

1. Music
2. Jingle
3. Sweeper
4. Voiceover
5. Commercial
6. Internet Stream
7. Other
8. Variable Duration File (VDF)
9. Request
10. News
11. Playlist Event
12. File By Date
13. Newest From Folder

For some of these types, RadioDJ will take some custom actions, so it’s not a good idea to play with them Search
until we know what they represent.
Type for search
The first type, named music must be assigned to music track that we expect to be played using rotations.
To this types are applied a set of rules like checking when the artist was played, when the track was played
etc.
Categories
Sweeper and Voiceover type is for tracks that will be played on top of music type files (overlay).
Awards
Internet Stream represent files that are not psychically present on our hard-drive. They must be streamed
from a server (web, shoutcast, icecast, etc).
PHP Scripts

Programming
Variable Duration File type must be assigned to files which will change its duration in time, for example a
news file which will be overwritten often. This allows you to import the file once and then to just overwrite Tutorials
the file to keep it updated.
VB.NET
On this type, the file will be scanned every time before playing, to get its new duration.
Video Tutorials
Request file type is used internally for requests from website, or other sources and this type cannot be
assigned manually.
Pages
Playlist Events are displayed as tracks in playlist, but they can trigger some simple actions that are set as
manual events.
Cookie Policy

File By Date type is a dynamic track, that allows you to set a folder and the file will be choose by the date Download
that is added to the playlist. The default format is yyyy-MM-dd, so if the current date is 2013-11-18, when
this type of track will be added to the playlist, the program will search in the specified folder a track named Features List
“2013-11-18”.supported extenssion (.mp3, .ogg etc).If the default format is not good for your purpose, you
