Sorry for all the questions at once... but here's another!
We would like to be able to play an ARTIST ID or PROMO in a fixed clock position and follow it with a song by that same artist.
We have tried BINDING an ID to songs by the artist but that has an unsatisfactory result on the air. Songs can show up back to back with IDS BOUND to them or several in the same hour.
The LINK Card has this option: "only schedule to play before songs with these TYPES"
Do we create a TYPE for each ARTIST that has an ID?
EX: Link - Local Artist ID (schedule before type: BB King)
Song: Local Band (type: BB King)
We might run out of TYPES, I suppose.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Rick,
Off the top of my head, I think that it will only schedule before items that have been scheduled VIA that category - whether that's the primary or the alternate.
So considering the Song 1234 "Hound Dog" which is in Category "Image" and Alternate Category "Elvis". If it's scheduled into an "Image" category clock position then the ID will only be allowed if it's set to Before An "Image". If on the other hand the same song is scheduled but this time to fill a clock position set to "Elvis" then the id will only schedule if set to "elvis"
Hopefully that explanation makes sense?
