should add an optional slot to run, in addition to the ID, every hour from 22:00 to 05:00, to announce content may contain strong or suggestive language. While I do not believe this is a requirement, it is a courtesy to listeners.

I'm imagining text files with the correct metadata for tracks that need to be marked (most likely by album/artist). Johnny-six then checks if a song matches those fields before marking as new/rotation. This would allow automation to help chart songs, especially useful for summer.

current yml config for underwriting is awful. write a new one.
it should store/allow

• start and end dates
• arbitrary metadata about underwriting (e.g. transcripts)
• multiple recordings for each underwriting
• multiple underwriters per hour

Ideally, underwriting will play every underwriter for a given hour, and will select a random underwriting recording if there are multiple for a single piece of underwriting. It also should verify that it is before the end date and after the start date, so that we don't need to babysit underwriting. Some less useful potential features: use liquidsoap's built-in say support to read transcripts, if we have no recording of the underwriting.

Long-term, it may be possible to adapt this, with minimal modifications, to use for scheduled PSAs, Promos, and Rotation.

usually, johnny-six plays one track from the prior hour's playlist after the ID at the top of the hour. This isn't a big deal for most hours, but is very noticeable at 7am (when americana starts), 5pm (when jazz starts), and 7pm (when jazz ends).

Usually, this is a container format for mp3; Dr. Sue commented that they were not playing, but theoretically, we should be able to decode and handle them.

for mp3s, it correctly guesses MAD and tries (but fails) to log empty metadata. for flack, it fails do decode at all

Configure track loader so that it will not always check for playlists in staging

This should first check if the playlist will play outside safe harbour hours. If it will, check each track against a lyric database and search for WUVT's standard set of FCC disallowed words.

this may be a limitation of liquidsoap, but we do not parse id3v2 (or other?) tags out of WAV files, although we happily play them. c.f. https://wavmetadata.blogspot.com/ for info on tags supported in WAV.

/tank/automation/Shows/rare-groove/2020-07-09/Cass\ McCombs\ -\ The\ Wine\ Of\ Lebanon.wav has tags 'TITLE': ['The Wine Of Lebanon'], 'GENRE': ['Alternative'], 'TRACKNUMBER': ['1/1'], 'ARTIST': ['Cass McCombs'], 'DATE': ['2020'], 'ALBUM': ['The Wine Of Lebanon'] according to pytaglib, but it was never logged.
