Nuts & Bolts: Selector

Here's a simple Selector task thats good to run once-a-month.

On Selector's main menu, go to "Analysis"; click "Historical Analysis" - and then run a "Most Frequently Played" report...all IDs and all categories.

See if your song play matches your category goals. And do any of your secondary category songs get more airplay than your power songs? Are some titles in a category getting a lot more airplay than others?

Other scheduler programs likely have a similar report.

Old wise man taught me that this can be the most important report you can run in Selector.

I've found the Historical Analysis to show that faster tempos tend to play more after manually editing logs, if you're not careful. Good utility to run.
