Overall questions

I am getting our local weather from Radio forecast network (http://www.radioforecastnetwork.com/) 4 times a day. I have a automated ftp client to pick them up at specific times and they go to a designated folder.

Is there anyway possible that RadioDJ can play the most up to date file without having to manually import it every single time? We are so busy that we forget to import the file until almost the time for the weather file to play.

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance

In the track editor, set the tracks type as "Variable Duration File".
Import the file.

Now you can overwrite that file whenever you want without needing to import it.
