Tunio Collections: Revolutionizing Radio Station Music Management

Creating the perfect musical atmosphere for your business requires precise control over every track that goes on air. Tunio's collection system provides radio station owners with unprecedented music content management capabilities — from fully automated solutions to detailed manual control.

Two Broadcasting Models: Choose Your Approach

🎵 Automatic Broadcasting from the General Catalog

The simplest way to get started — using Tunio's extensive catalog with automatic track selection by genres:

  • Over 50 music genres — from classic jazz to modern electronic
  • Automatic track selection matching your chosen styles
  • Constantly updated catalog with new AI compositions
  • Instant launch without additional setup

Perfect for: Quick radio station launch, testing different genres, businesses with undefined musical preferences.

🎯 Personal Collections: Maximum Control

For those who want complete control over every track on air — the personal collections system:

Manual Content Curation

  • Individual track selection from Tunio's catalog
  • Creating unique playlists tailored to your brand
  • Excluding unwanted compositions from rotation
  • Building signature radio station sound

Curatorial Approach Benefits

  • 100% content control — only approved music goes on air
  • No musical "surprises" — every track is reviewed and approved
  • Music branding — creating recognizable audio style
  • Target audience alignment — music precisely matched to your customers

Smart Genre Settings for Collections

Automatic Genre Filtering

Even in personal collections, you can set up automatic genre-based selection:

Collection "Daytime Broadcast"
├── Manually added: 250 tracks
├── Genre settings: Smooth Jazz, Lounge, Ambient
└── Result: Only specified genre tracks go on air

Genre Systematization Benefits:

  • Predictable atmosphere — music always matches the mood
  • Easy scaling — adding new tracks with automatic sorting
  • Management flexibility — quick collection mood changes
  • Professional sound — no jarring stylistic transitions

Use Case: A café adds 500 multi-genre tracks to their collection but sets filters for "Acoustic, Indie Folk, Soft Rock." As a result, only calm music suitable for business meetings plays during daytime hours.

Music Schedules: Dynamic Hourly Control

Revolutionary Time-Based Settings Feature

The most powerful collection feature — the ability to attach music schedules where each hour has its own set of genres:

Restaurant Schedule Example:

06:00-09:00 | Breakfast  | Acoustic, Morning Jazz  
09:00-12:00 | Morning    | Lounge, Soft Electronic
12:00-15:00 | Lunch      | Upbeat Jazz, Light Pop
15:00-18:00 | Afternoon  | Ambient, Downtempo
18:00-22:00 | Dinner     | Smooth Jazz, Neo Soul
22:00-06:00 | Late Night | Chill, Deep House

Business Benefits of Scheduling:

🕐 Venue Rhythm Alignment

  • Work mood — background accompaniment for concentration
  • Evening atmosphere — relaxing melodies for unwinding

📈 Customer Behavior Impact
