Playing updated tracks (news)

We regularly update our news stream each hour; the newest file replaces the older and the name stays the same, only the time/date is actually different.

Do I need to do anything to RDJ 2 to import and play this automatically in the Events without having to re-import the file all the time?

No, there's nothing wrong with the software - you've touched something you shouldn't have, now didn't you!

Just make sure that the file type is set to Variable Duration File. This means that RadioDJ will automatically import/refresh the file before it's played.

I sometime will use (under utilities) relocate and then verify tracks as a second option
