We've had our sustain PC for quite a few years and its starting to exhibit problems so Im looking to move it to a new server. Our sustain has both the Myriad playout and autotrack pro.

What I want to do is leave autotrack on the PC and move the playout to a new PC. How does autotrack know where to send the logs as the settings say autotrack does it automatically?

Chris,

In Autotrack, there are 2 locations to check:

1) Myriad file locations - this tells AT where the audio is stored and other settings (including the Station Log Database)

2) Autotrack Program Settings - this tells AT where its Song and Link database is stored.

so if the system is using a server, you'll need to make sure the New Playout PC is pointing to the correct locations for it to work.

Hope this helps

Chris,

One useful tip, from experience...

Remember to release the license for the copy of Myriad you going to move before you install it on another PC, otherwise it won't re-license on the P2 server, and you'll have to ring the guys on the support desk to release at their end first before you can re-license it where you are.

Roger.
