I've been thinking about CDJ and MP3's recently. Here's what I think =
the CDJ community needs:
1. A slinkx application that will monitor the playback of a playlist by =
CDJ, and as each track starts and ends, use Windows sound recorder or =
another recorder to record the audio playing into the computer's sound =
card as .WAV files, and then use a MP3 encoder such as BLADEENC.EXE to =
convert the .wav files to MP3's and at the same time store ID3 =
information in each MP3, having at least the album and track names that =
were supplied by CDJ during the playback. To make a more complete =
package, an ID3v2 tag could be created in the MP3, with CDJ's stored =
lyrics and image.
2. A slinkx application that will scan an entire hard drive for every =
MP3 file and then automatically create audio file albums and tracks in =
CDJ, building albums from MP3's having the same album name. Also, =
images and/or lyrics in ID3v2 MP3's would be transported over to =
separate files and linked into CDJ to display with those tracks.
Application (2) is probably the most generally useful app, because a =
user that had an entire disk library ripped into another MP3 program =
such as RealJukebox, would be able to use application (2) to directly =
and automatically import all of those MP3's into CDJ (assuming they were =
ID3 tagged when created).
Colby, unfortunately you will need to expand the CDJ automation =
interface to CDJ to facilitate application (2) - you will need to have =
CDJ commands and responses for adding audio file albums and tracks to =
albums, as well as to insert links to image files for particular albums =
or tracks, and insert lyrics.
Any thoughts?
