| User-definable playlist format |
This makes Creator compatible with most audio players from simple MP3 players through to sophisticated broadcast automation software. |
| Song Separation |
This protects against the same song repeating within a specific time period. Each category can override the system default setting. |
| Artist Separation |
This protects against the same artist from repeating within a specific time period. Each category can override the system default setting. |
| Title Separation |
This protects against the same song title from repeating within a specific time period. This is useful when you have the same song in your library recorded by different artists, such as Christmas songs. Each category can override the system default setting. |
| Album Separation |
This protects against songs from the same compilation album being played too close together. This may be required for DMCA. |
| Next Day Song Separation |
Prevents the same songs being selected around the same time on the following day. |
| Track Restrictions |
Individual songs or spots can be set to be only available for selection between specific hours of the day or days of the week, and only for specific days or months of the year. |
| Automatic song Intro and Outro announcement support |
Pre-recorded song or artist introductions may be selected along with an associated song. This helps your station sound live when unattended. Intros may play simultaneously with the non-vocal beginning of the associated song (song ramp overlap) when using StationPlaylist Studio Pro. |
| Track Linking |
Tracks may be linked to other tracks to appear before or after when it is selected for the playlist. This makes it possible to have an entire classical works of individual tracks played together, or a specific spot/commercial to play before or after a specific song. |
| Track Summary for song reporting |
A summary of the tracks scheduled in the playlist is generated as a spreadsheet compatible file, which may also be printed. Track details include Artist, Title, Album, Composer, CD catalog number, Record Label, and the number of times used. |

| Schedule internet streams |

| Schedule Hour Markers & Break Notes |
These are non-audio items which may be inserted in the playlist. Some broadcast playback systems can utilize these items to control various functions within the player, or simply provide reminder messages for the DJ. |
| Schedule Timed Events |
Spots and Break Notes may be scheduled to occur at precise times, for use with compatible playback software such as StationPlaylist Studio. |
| Easily add tracks to library |
Tracks do not need to be individually entered into a database. This can saves an enormous amount of time adding new music to the library. Simply copy new songs to a disk folder and Creator will utilize them next time a playlist is generated. |
| Read existing file tags |
Creator can read existing file tags to establish artist, title and other track information, or it can use the filename where no tags are present. Supported tags are ID3v2 & v1, Ogg Vorbis, MP4/M4A, WMA, APE, and RIFF LIST/INFO chunk and the broadcast industry Cart Chunk for WAV files. |
| Custom file tags |
Rather than using a cumbersome database which can easily become corrupted or lost, Creator utilizes a custom file tagging system to store information in each audio file, such as Artist, Title, Album, Year, Genre, Composer, Record Label, CD catalog number, schedule restrictions, last 18 scheduled times, and much more. |
| Automatic Data Backup |
Copies all configuration data to a folder or another computer automatically. |
| Very low maintenance |
Once the playlist format has been initially configured, Creator does not need any maintenance to generate playlists every day or week. Only the addition or removal of advertisements and other spots may be required. |
