This tutorial explains how to set up synchronization between mAirListDB and MusicMaster via files. This is the traditional approach using text files for the three syncronization tasks:

• Library sychronization (mAirListDB to MusicMaster): CSV files
• Schedule export (MusicMaster to mAirListDB): TPI files
• Reconciliation (mAirList playout to MusicMaster): text files

We assume that you have the following available and set up:

• mAirListDB, with audio items in the library, and Hour Templates set up. (You can create Music Templates that use the internal scheduler for testing, and then switch to MusicMaster import.)
• MusicMaster (an edition that supports library sync and schedule export)

MusicMaster requires that you use a fixed set of folders (and possibly file names) for the synchronization tasks. In our example, we use the following three folders:

• C:\MM_Sync\Library
• C:\MM_Sync\Schedule
• C:\MM_Sync\Reconciliation

Please create these folders before you continue with this tutorial.
