To keep your audio content organized and easy to manage, Myriad uses Media Ranges on the Media Wall. These ranges help define the type of content, how it's normalized, and how it's displayed.
Media IDs and Ranges
All audio content in Myriad is stored on the Media Wall. Each media item is assigned a unique Media ID, starting at 1
and continuing up to the maximum configured for your system (which can be in the tens or hundreds of thousands).
To streamline navigation and management, the Media Wall is divided into Media Ranges. Each range defines:
A default media type (e.g., song, advert, jingle)
A normalization method and target level
Visual presentation settings like background and foreground colors
Navigating by Media Range
Using Jump Buttons, you can quickly move between content types:
Clicking Songs might jump to Media ID
10,000
Clicking Adverts might jump to Media ID
90,000
These jumps are based on how the media ranges are defined in your system.
⚙️ Setting Up Media Ranges
To define or edit media ranges:
Go to Settings → Database Settings
Select the Media Ranges tab
From here, you can:
Set different Media ID ranges
Assign a default item type (e.g., Song, Advert, etc.)
Choose whether media in this range should be marked as Sweeper-friendly
Set default background and foreground colors
Configure Normalization using either:
Peak or
RMS methods
Set a Target Gain (dB) for audio leveling
Optionally define a Recycle Override Range, which controls how long deleted items remain in the recycle bin
➕ Adding a New Media Range
To add a new range:
Click Add Range
Define:
The Range Name
The Media ID range (e.g., 80000–80999)
The Item Type
Display colors
Sweeper settings
Normalization method and target level
Click OK to save the new range
Smart Auto-Classification
Once a media range is defined:
Any new media added within that range will automatically inherit its settings
(e.g., media added above ID80,000
will be treated as an Advert if that's how the range is defined).
This makes importing and categorizing new content faster and more accurate.
✅ Summary
Media Ranges allow you to control how content is classified, displayed, and normalized in Myriad. Whether you're managing songs, adverts, or jingles, these settings help you stay organized and efficient.
