The Other tab in Myriad Playout 6 provides additional settings and metadata fields for fine-tuning how your media items behave, appear, and integrate with external systems. These settings are especially useful for automation, playback control, and administrative tracking.
This article walks through each field available in the Other tab.

? Playback Volume Gain

Playback Gain allows you to manually adjust the audio playback level for this media item.
It works as a scaling factor based on the range’s target normalization level.
This is enabled by default in Myriad 6 and is applied non-destructively at playout.
Use this field to balance levels for items that sound louder or quieter than expected.
⏱ Allow Time Stretching in AutoFade

This setting is only available for Songs and Basic Media Items.
If enabled, Myriad will slightly stretch or compress the duration of this item during automated segues to help logs stay on time.
Ideal for clock-synced automation with tight transitions.
? Bind Another Media Item
You can bind another media item to play:
Before
After
Or whenever this item is played
Great for:
Automatically adding a station ID before a song
Following up a voice clip with a related track
To use:
Choose the binding direction
Enter the Media ID of the item to bind
Example: If “Proud” is bound with a Hot FM Sweeper, the sweeper will play before or after every time that song is played.
? Album & Year of Release
Album: Manually add or edit the album title
Year: Indicates the original release year of the track
(Usually filled automatically during import)
? Out Cue Field
Used to store the last words or phrase in a recording
Especially useful for:
News stories
Interviews
Helps presenters or automation systems cue content transitions more naturally
? Start, End & Delete Dates
Start Date: The first date this item can be played/scheduled
End Date: The last date the item is available
Delete Date: When reached, the system will automatically remove the item from the Media Wall
Content outside the start/end range will be hidden by default in the library view.
? External Reference & Custom Fields
External Reference is used when integrating with:
Third-party music schedulers
External database systems
Music Brainz Recording ID is used to store the Music Brainz ID for the item.
Custom Reference Fields allow you to:
Store additional system-specific IDs
Add internal tags for cross-platform syncing or automation
? Database Metadata
At the bottom of the tab, you’ll see read-only fields showing:
The unique Media Item ID
The original filename
The creation and last modified timestamps
These are useful for content tracking and system auditing.
