Hook sequences in PlayIt Live allow you to create promotional segments featuring short snippets (hooks) of songs played back-to-back. To use hook sequences effectively, you need to configure Hook Start and Hook End points on your tracks.

Hook points are set at the most compelling part of a song, typically during the chorus or main melody. When editing a track via Manage > Tracks, you'll find Hook Start and Hook End controls in the cue points section. Use the Set button while listening to set the Hook Start point at the beginning of the hook, and the Hook End point where you want the hook to finish. If no hook points are defined, PlayIt Live automatically uses a hook starting at 20% into the track.

Hook sequences are created as clock items via Manage > Clocks. When adding a Hook Sequence item, you can specify the number of songs, target duration, and choose between Track Group Random (hooks from a specific track group), Coming Up (hooks from songs scheduled in the next X minutes), Coming Up Reversed, or Coming Up Random. The hook sequence automatically adjusts the duration of individual hooks proportionally to meet your target duration, with intro tracks, transition elements, and outro tracks creating a polished promotional segment.
