What file formats can I upload as tracks?

PlayIt Live supports the following audio file formats for track uploads:

MP3 files (.mp3) - The most widely used compressed audio format WAVE files (.wav) - Uncompressed high-quality audio format Windows Media Audio files (.wma) - Microsoft's audio compression format MP4 files (.mp4) - MPEG-4 audio container format M4A files (.m4a) - Apple's audio format, commonly used for iTunes music AAC files (.aac) - Advanced Audio Coding format FLAC files (.flac) - Free Lossless Audio Codec for high-quality compression MP2 files (.mp2) - MPEG-1 Audio Layer II format OGG files (.ogg) - Open-source Ogg Vorbis format

You can upload tracks using the Add New Tracks Wizard (via Manage > Tracks), by dragging and dropping audio files directly onto the track list, or by importing track information from a CSV file when migrating from another broadcast system.

PlayIt Live automatically reads metadata from audio files where available, including artist, title, album, and duration information. The software can also analyse silence at the beginning and end of tracks to automatically set cue in and cue out points for professional gapless playback.
