Composer Pro: What’s New
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010We continue to improve Public Interactive Composer Pro based on your needs and feedback. Here are a few new features in the works right now.
Improving Playlist Import
Filters: We recently updated the playlist import filters for Composer Pro and continue to think about ways to make this task easier for stations. Here is the current complete list of playlist import filters:
- Music Master
- Music Librarian
- Music Director
- Selector
- SoundExchange
- Generic tab delimited text
We’re also currently starting to work on an option to import a full day’s worth of playlist information from one file. Stay tuned!
We’re also working on a few smaller updates, like updating the order of the Add Song Manually fields so that the SX required fields are listed together and improving the way you enter syndicated programs into your schedule.

Economy Collaboration Project Ending
Friday, April 30th, 2010The Economy Collaboration Project, funded by CPB to cover the economic crisis, is ending. During this project, Public Interactive provided editorial support, hosted writing and social media webinars, produced an aggregated feed, blog, twitter feed and managed the The Knowledge Network wiki.
The Knowledge Network wiki will continue to house all Economy Project resources for stations interested in accessing this valuable content at http://network.npr.org.
And some things must come to an end.
The Aggregated News Feed: During the project, we curated a feed of Economy stories from PI client stations for national distribution. Special thanks goes out to all our stations who have contributed your stories to this feed!

And this also means that Ki-Min Sung, PI’s fabulous Economy Collaboration Project Manager/Editor, must depart PI as our project ends. Ki’s last day with PI is today, Friday, 4/30. Please join us in thanking Ki for her time with us here at PI.
