- The system must keep track of the play counts accurately (DJs playing tracks on their own time versus playing tracks on air - Ken only cares about the air plays, e.g. if at least 95% of the song is played)
- There should be an automatic way to extract the play counts with dates played, track name, album name, and artist name into a spreadsheet
- New releases should be tagged and displayed prominently, but the tag should be removed after 3 months
- A search system is needed with multiple condition specifications (e.g. "Show me all the new release tracks that have been played in the past week")
- The dates tracks were filed should be logged, and tracks should be able to be assigned can fit into multiple genres
- A logging The system should show what has been added/filed already, in order to prevent duplicatesbe able to prevent duplicate albums from being filed
User Classes
From the above interviews, we were able to determine the existence of two distinct user classes:
...
- Look up number of plays per period
- NOTE: Actually recording plays is partly outside scope (as it is partly the responsibility of the playback system not covered here)
- Group/sort number of plays per album
- May also highlight trends over time (e.g. based on when the album was releasereleased)
- Highlight relevant subgenres
- Add extra plays from outside of digital playback (e.g. CDs, Track Blaster)
- Search for specific releases in a list (for subjective ranking of ties)
- Distribute to genre music directors
