Looping playlists
I have an archive of a show with many episodes that I want to have it play in constant loop each month. For instance, all shows for February will loop until the month ends. Then in March, all episodes for March will play in a loop.
Each episode of the show is 4 hours long and broken into 8 segments (eight MP3 files) lasting more or less 30 minutes each. The segments of the show must play in order from segment #1 to segment #8, however, a random track from a second playlist should be inserted between each segment. When an entire episode ends (after all 8 segments) there should be another break (a random track from a third playlist), and then the next episode of the show begins. This whole sequence should continue in a loop and start from the beginning after the last episode is played.
Basically, the sequence should work like this:
Ep 01 Seg 01
Pls 2 Random Track
Ep 01 Seg 02
Pls 2 Random Track
Ep 01 Seg 03
Pls 2 Random Track
Ep 01 Seg 04
Pls 2 Random Track
Ep 01 Seg 05
Pls 2 Random Track
Ep 01 Seg 06
Pls 2 Random Track
Ep 01 Seg 07
Pls 2 Random Track
Ep 01 Seg 08
Pls 3 Random Track
Ep 02 Seg 01
Pls 2 Random Track
Ep 02 Seg 02
Pls 2 Random Track
Ep 02 Seg 03

Ep 02 Seg 04

Ep 02 Seg 05
Pls 2 Random Track
Ep 02 Seg 06
Pls 2 Random Track
Ep 02 Seg 07
Pls 2 Random Track
Ep 02 Seg 08
Pls 3 Random Track
...and so on. Is there any way to do something like this?

Re: Looping playlists
Yes, you can simply use a script to configure it. And eg. use some macros.
Or you just define a media lib per month and let it sort alphabetically and use the tracks from that lib sequentially.
