{{Image("mag1_eng.png")}}
The MAG (DS-04-000-15) is one of the building blocks of software applications to complete the DIGISPOT®II system for the entire workflow of a Radio station and is intended for musical departments, program directors and producers of radio station. It performs automatic generation of musical play lists, like other popular applications widely used in the broadcast industry (Selector, PowerGold, Music Master). Taking into account their broad orientation, those applications are overloaded with functions and options that make the everyday work difficult and time consuming. Main benefit of MAG (DS-04-000-15) is its ease of handling and deep integration with other parts of the DIGISPOT®II system.
Due to the fact that MAG (DS-04-000-15) is using the DIGISPOT®II Media Database] (DS-07-000-15) as well the data re-consolidation of non played items in the last days [wikiDiDevDocDSIIModulesDS-00-005-15_ENG ON-AIR schedule (DS-00-005-15) is at hand any time, avoiding complicated or insufficient interfacing to third party data base systems. The MAG (DS-04-000-15) uses also the principle of the rotation of musical material as other systems. Each musical element is accompanied with a description "card" providing the necessary "meta data" for every title in the record library. All musical elements (songs) are divided into categories. Within the category limits, songs are building virtual stacks that are rotated according to the hourly clock, defined by the user. The user sets special parameters describing the selection process of a song in a stack, defining the necessary rotation rules and assigning priorities to these rules. The application automatically generates a play list, which can be edited if needed.

MAG module (DS-04-000-15) includes several methods of musical-element-rotation control. They can be divided into two large groups using the artistic characteristics of songs and historical mathematical rules. The first group provides rotation control according to artistic rules that were defined by the user: tempo, the "texture" of musical material, mood e.g. The second group of rules is based on the control over the time of the possible playing of music elements relative to the time of its last usage.
MAG follows rules which are set by the user. These rules tell the system how to interpret different artistic characteristics of the musical element or the time of its last play ON-AIR. The rules are very flexible. Each user can employ them according to his or her individual expectations. Everything depends upon the concrete format and goals of the radio station.
