Empty Music Database
Should the need arise, you can remove all music records in the database. Select the Empty Music
Database menu item and after confirming your intent, all song title and artist information is removed
from the database.
Export Music to dcsTools Format
Should the need arise, you can export the music data to a file for use with other dcsTools products that
use song title and artist information. You are prompted for a file name and location. The exported file is
a custom file type usable by other dcsTools applications. The export file contains the cart number,
song title and artist information.
Export Music to CSV File
Selecting this menu option exports the music database information to a generic comma-separated
values (CSV) format that can be used by many different software programs. During the export, you are
prompted for a file name and location. When exporting to this format, only the cart number, song title
and artist fields are written to the CSV file.
Add, Edit, Delete Music Records Manually
Edit a record. Any of the displayed music records can be edited. Click on the item you wish to
edit, then click again or press the [F2] key to begin editing. When you have finished editing,
click on the [Post] button in the data navigator.
Add a record. To add a new music record, press the [Insert] key or click on the Insert button
in the data navigator. When you have filled in the cart number, title and artist information, click
on the [Post] button in the data navigator. The Misc field is optional and is used during import
to timestamp when the record was added or updated.
Delete a record. Select the music record you wish to delete and press the [Delete] key or click
on the Delete button in the data navigator. You will be prompted to confirm the deletion.
5.1.8.1 Exporting Data from your Music Scheduling System
In order to be able to import music information with XStudio, you must export the information from your
music scheduling system to a format that XStudio can understand.
In the cases of Selector and MusicMaster, the exported data will be a specially formatted text file. For
POWERGOLD, the exported data is in binary format.
If you have used Maestro at one time or another and have exported music for
use by that system, the instructions and resulting output file for the popular
music scheduling systems are nearly identical. Music exports created for
Maestro can be imported without modification.
5.1.8.1.1 Exporting MusicMaster
The Windows version of MusicMaster has an export design editor that you can use to create
customized exports for your music library. The design editor includes a feature for importing pre-made
export designs. Rather than having you build the needed export design manually, we've provided a
design template you can import, greatly simplifying the process.
