While this functionalities intent is noble, we’ve found hundreds of cases over the years where DJs accidentally click one of these labels, marking a song released in the 80s as a New Release, for instance. These corrections are labor intensive.
For stations who prefer to keep their spin database as accurate as possible, an option to turn this click-to-set functionality off globally for DJs would be greatly appreciated.
Good news, the ability to disable those fields already exists in Spinitron. Users with admin permission can navigate to Playlist forms under the Admin menu and uncheck any fields, including Local, Request, New, and V/A. DJs will no longer see the “unchecked” fields in the playlist entry form. I hope this helps.
Here is the request, clarified:
Allow station admins the option to turn off the click-to-set functionality off globally for DJs without also turning off the ability to track these fields in the first place.
