Looping Styles
A looping style determines how an immediate playlist repeats itself or specific items. A
timed playlist ignores looping styles. To set a looping style, see
Play Recorded Program File
on page 48.
Immediate playlists support one of these looping styles:
Random and sequential tags
The
Asset Filter
allows you to view the
Asset List
by all items in the directory, or list
directories by the
Random
or
Sequential
tags.
When you add an item using the
Random
tag to your playlist
, the
iPump 6400
arbitrarily
selects an item to play from the selected directory. The item selection is not completely
random since the
iPump 6400
will not select the last played randomly selected item.
When you add an item using the
Sequential
tag to your playlist
, the
iPump 6400
plays the
items in order from first to last and then looping back around to the first item in the directory
for each pass of the item in the playlist.
Note:
In a
Loop on Last
playlist, when the last item has either a
Random
or
Sequential
tag, then the last item follows the normal
Random
or
Sequential
pattern.
Note:
When the playlist contains random or sequential items, the
Total Time
listing on the
playlist bar is inaccurate and is followed by two asterisks.
