Other than by category scheduling, how can I control spins of individual (current) songs within a category?
Understand why every song in a category gets equal spins, and give some currents fewer spins with hour restrictions or a packet.

One of the principles of M1 is that every song in a category get the same number of spins. The only thing that changes it for a song is hour restrictions. If you have a category of Currents set up for a 40-spin week and one of the songs is dayparted out of AM drive…17% of the total hours of the 24 hour day…then that song would get about 33-34 spins a week.
At one time we experimented with a percentage rotation function…something that is still available on non-music cards… and it was a mess. Guys were putting 125% on one card, 50% on another, 75% on another….such a thing resulted in wildly erratic, unpredictable rotations and we decided it was a function that sounded good in the blue-sky but wasn’t worth the trouble down here on earth.
If you have some currents you want to receive fewer spins, I’d try packeting them, putting the packet into Currents.
