Hi All, Just to reiterate as above - you should never replace a Myriad MYRxxxxx.wav file from outside of Myriad - it should always be done via a Myriad application - for example using the AudioWall, the Import Wizard, AutoTrack, Myriad AudioWall AutoImporter etc. If you just replace the file using a script all hell can (and will!) break lose eventually - for example, if Myriad thinks that a Cart is 2mins long, and you replace its Audio with a 3 minute audio file, then Myriad will get 2 minutes into it and then fire the next item in the log - because as far as Myriad knew, the audio was 2 minutes long the last time it was edited. Another common one is if someone deletes the cart from the AudioWall thinking "it's ok, it will get replaced next time the script runs" - then Myriad thinks the cart is blank (i.e. zero length) so will refuse to play it - even if the Audiofile has since magically appeared. In almost all scenarios the AutoImporter is the ideal tool for this task because when it imports the content from an incoming audio folder, it will automatically update the cart on the AudioWall correctly with all the correct timings etc. and as David notes it can auto set Extros, set other captioning and other info and even email you to tell you if it failed or succeeded. Also, the next release of Myriad (v4.0.19) also introduces a new edition "AutoImporter Pro" which can also add (or update) content in a Station Database as well - so for example a record company can send you a new song, and it will automatically imported onto the AudioWall doing normalisation etc. and also into an "Incoming" Category in AutoTrack ready for your review prior to scheduling it to air. As always as soon as this is available we'll have more information on our website and pricing information to upgrade to this edition will be available from sales@psquared.net
