Less Manual Work: They reduce the manual effort needed to make playlists, great for stations with limited staff.
Data-Driven: Create playlists based on what listeners like. Highlight songs with positive feedback.
Advanced Scheduling: Set up rules based on popularity, tempo, mood, or even weather for tailored playlists.

How to create a playlist using smart block?

Making a smart block is about setting it up to match what you need.

You can use rules or conditions to say which tracks it should pick. For instance, you could create one for songs of a specific genre, tempo, or mood.
Then, decide when and how to use these smart blocks in your station's schedule. You can say when they should play, like during certain times or days.

When I add/upload new tracks, will Smart Block automatically add them to the current show?

The Smart Blocks feature does not typically automatically add newly uploaded tracks to the current show playing.
Smart Blocks are designed to create dynamic playlists based on predefined rules and criteria, but they don't actively modify the playlist of a live show that's already in progress
