How do I add new tracks to PlayIt Live?

There are several ways to add new tracks to PlayIt Live, depending on your needs and workflow preferences.

Using the Add New Tracks Wizard: Go to Manage > Tracks and click the Add New button to launch the Add New Tracks Wizard. This gives you three options:

From individual files: Select this to choose specific audio files from your computer. You'll be prompted to browse and select the files you want to add.

From a folder: Choose this option to add all audio files from a specific folder. This is useful when you have a collection of new music in one location.

From a CSV import file: This option allows you to import tracks with existing metadata and cue points from another playout system. You can generate a template by exporting your current track list to CSV from Manage > Tracks.

Quick method - Drag and drop onto track list: You can also add tracks quickly by dragging audio files from Windows Explorer directly onto the track list on the right side of PlayIt Live. This will launch the Add New Tracks Wizard for the dropped files.

Note: While you can drag files directly onto the playout log or deck players (in Decks Mode), this only loads them temporarily for ad hoc playback and does not permanently add them to your track database.

Additional options during import: When using the wizard, you can tick Analyse silence to automatically detect cue in and cue out points, which helps achieve professional gapless playback. The system supports common audio formats and will import track metadata from the audio files when available.
