Added 2018-04-30 03:15:42 +0000 UTC

First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who has supported, either through here or through my Kofi button, the AzuraCast project and my contributions to the FOSS community. It genuinely humbles me that so many people from around the world find AzuraCast to be as easy-to-use, accessible and customizable of a tool as I do.

For the better part of the last year, my work on AzuraCast has been sustained and significant. You can tell from my GitHub squares!

This month, the work has continued in earnest, and I wanted to share some of my favorite updates with you patrons:

- Sequential Playlists: By default, all playlists on AzuraCast play in "shuffled", randomized order. Sometimes, you might want to have a playlist play in a specific order, such as a predefined program. Now, with sequential playlists, you can control the playback order of songs in a playlist. From the new "Reorder Playlist" page, you can move songs around any time.

- Custom Metadata: Want to include extra data about the songs in your collection? Now you can specify custom metadata fields, which can then be provided on every uploaded song. The custom fields can not only be viewed on the Music Files page, but they can also be referenced in webhooks or viewed in the API.

- New Playlist Schedule Viewer: View your scheduled playlists in calendar form, where you can see exactly how your playlists interact with one another in an easy-to-use weekly agenda view.

More great features are coming, so stay tuned!
