Prepare & Import Audio

Trim & Normalize Audio

 For tight, professional sound, audio files should be trimmed & normalized prior to import. If your station does not already have an application that you use for audio production & editing, contact support for the Arrakis Mass Audio Conversion software. 

IMPORTANT!!  

• The Library Manager will automatically read MP3 tags & fill in the the artist & title information.

Music Metadata

Are the music files properly tagged?

Check in Windows Explorer, 'Details' view.

If your files are tagged, you will see the song title & artist information in the Title, & Contributing artist columns. 

Files not tagged? Artist & Title information or Ad information in the file name? 

That's okay! You may use a third party renaming app to add a cart number of up to 8 digits to the file name, or do so manually in Windows Explorer.

For example:         Rename 'Joe Schmoes Bakery.wav'         to       '600000+Joe Schmoes Bakery.wav'

The plus (+) symbol informs Xtreme that the characters preceding the (+) are the cart number. The cart number will automatically be '600000.'

Once you're up & running with DHD-Tools, use the Import Audio folder shortcut that was created as the  Installation & Setup steps were followed  

~  or  ~  

use the Distribute Audio folder feature in Tools to Distribute to edit audio file information & distribute audio to multiple PCs.
