Loading Multiple files from a 'List' File:

Text file:
A simple ".TXT" file can be used to import a large number of files in different locations. Each filename must be on a single line and may be surrounded with quote marks but these are optional.

CSV file:
A ".CSV" File can be used to list files with additional 'override' information. This information will 'override' any information read from the audio file, or from any "Additional Data Files" (see above).

The Importer looks for the following fields:
•	"Title"
•	"Artist" or "ArtistName" or "ArtistID" or "Agency" or "Artist1" or "Artist 1"
•	"Description" or "Desc"
•	"CartNumber" or "Cart" or "CutID" or "Cut" or "ID"
•	"AudioStart" or "Audio Start" or "StartTime", "TrimStart" or "Trim Start"
•	"AudioEnd" or "Audio End" or "EndTime", "TrimEnd" or "Trim End"
•	"IntroStart" or "StartTalk" or "Intro1" or "Intro 1" or "I1"
•	"IntroEnd" or "EndTalk" or "Intro3" or "Intro 3" or "I3"
•	"HookStart" or "Hook Start"
•	"HookEnd" or "Hook End"
•	"Extro" or "SegueStart" or "RunTime"
•	"EndType" or "Ending" or "ED"
•	"Filename" - if it does not contain a Path the Importer will show a dialog asking the user to select the folder to look for ALL of the audio files in. If it does not contain a file extension it looks for the first file with any extension.

XLS file:
An Excel ".XLS" file can be used to list files with additional 'override' information. This information will 'override' any information read from the audio file, or from any "Additional Data Files" (see above).

The Importer looks for the following fields:
•	"Title"
•	"Artist" or "ArtistName" or "ArtistID"
•	"Description" or "Desc"
•	"CartNumber" or "Cart" or "Cut" or "ID"
•	"AudioStart"
•	"AudioEnd"
•	"HookStart"
•	"HookEnd"
•	"IntroStart"
•	"IntroEnd"
•	"Extro"
•	"EndType" or "Ending"
•	"Filename" - if it does not contain a Path the Importer will show a dialog asking the user to select the folder to look for ALL of the audio files in.

Third Party Playout System Support:

Barrcode audio files:

The audio  file must be in a supported audio format (see above) and there must be a file next to the audio with a ".BCX" extension. "Title", "Artist", "Genre", "Auto Start", "Auto Out" and "Intro" timing are all read from this file.
