Radio Station Stuff: How Do I Make Everything Play In Order

[Mayor Skyline]

I have managed to make a radio station, kinda...however I am wanting to add my voice to make it sound like a real station.

The code for the station with voiceovers (found in help files) is:

local err, files = AsyncListFiles(self:GetTracksFolder(), "*.opus") -- find all files in the folder with opus extension
if err or not next(files) then return end    -- skip if enumeration fails or folder is empty
local dj = {}
local music = {}
for i = 1, #files do
    files[i] = string.sub(files[i], 1, -6) -- strip the opus extension
    if files[i]:find("music",1,true) then    -- check if the file name contains "music"
        music[#music+1] = files[i]    -- if so, add it to the music files list
    elseif files[i]:find("dj",1,true)then    --check if the file name contains "dj"
        dj[#dj +1] = files[i]    -- if so, add it to the DJ announcement files list
    end
end
local music_index = #music +1
local dj_index = #dj +1
while true do
    if(music_index >#music) then    -- if at the end of the music list, shuffle and start from the beginning
        table.permute(music)
        music_index =1
    end
    if(dj_index> #dj) then    -- if at the end of the DJ anouncment list, shuffle and start from the beginning
        table.permute(dj)
        dj_index = 1
    end
    Music:PlayTrack({ path = dj[dj_index] }) -- play a DJ announcement
    WaitMsg("MusicTrackEnded", 30*60*1000)  -- wait till it ends, or at most 30 minutes
    Music:PlayTrack({ path = music[music_index] }) -- play a music piece
    WaitMsg("MusicTrackEnded", 30*60*1000)  -- wait till it ends, or at most 30 minutes
    Sleep(self.silence * 1000) -- pause for silence
    -- increment the indices so you can access the next file in the list
    dj_index = dj_index+1
    music_index = music_index+1
end

What I need to know is, how to link for example DJ_track1 with Song1.opus so that it actually plays the track I have spoke about in the DJ Announcement, rather than it playing random stuff.

I´m not familiar enough with radio stations to be able to answer this question specifically, however one simple solution would be to create a new song-file that contains both the announcement and the song all in one file.

That would be easier. Also making one long file too....
