3. Analyse cue points
If checked, when a track file is added the cue points of the track will be analysed.
4

Re-analyse cue points

4. Re-analyse cue points
If checked, when a track file is updated the cue points of the track will be re-analysed. Do not use this option if you manually set cue points as these will be overwritten.
5

Update track fields

5. Update track fields
If checked, when a track file is updated the fields of the track will be updated from the file. Do not use this option if you manually change the track fields as these will be overwritten.
6

Delete tracks

6. Delete tracks
If checked, a track will be deleted if the track file is deleted. A track file is determined to be deleted if it is not found after scanning the folder. If a network folder or external drive is used in a monitored folder and this folder is disconnected or drive unplugged, PlayIt Live will determine that this file is deleted and will delete the corresponding track.
 
When a track is deleted, it is unlinked in a clock or the playout log. In this case, you will see the message "<missing track>" in the playout log. If this folder is regularly updated where a file is deleted and subsequently replaced with a file of the same name, you should switch this option OFF - clocks and the playout log will maintain the original reference and use the new track file.

7. Add tracks to track group
If checked, new tracks will be added to the selected track group. Tracks will not be re-added to this track group if they are subsequently removed from the group.
