In player playlist you need a queue of media for a minumun of some hours and for this you have to program some playlist. Player cannot stay stopped or paused (if stopped it will be started, if paused it stay paused) for a corret work. When time will be right jingle, programs and spots will be placed in playlist the first position after the last file inserted before by autoradiod.
