I made a Mp3Tag action group which generates a .cue file for dj mixes (or other compilations) in one file.
It's a modification of a scirpt I made for general tracklists.
Optimized now for use in combination with my discogs scripts. Works pretty fine!
Instalation:
- Download the zip file & extract the folder structure to %appdata%\mp3tag
Usage:
- Run any of my discogs-scripts to do the basic tagging of the audio file.
- Run my "tracklist for DJ Sets in one file" script, to get the tracklist into the file.
- Run the actiongroup, to generate a .cue file.
- Delete the tracklist-section in the UNSYNCEDLYRICS field manually to avoid double storage of the tracklist data.
Or, alternatively, click Edit > Undo (Ctrl+Z) to restore the tracklist as it was before the action in the UNSYNCEDLYRICS field. The cuefile does not get deleted by this undo process.
Comments:
- If the tracklist from discogs has not tracklengths, no cuefile can be generated.
- For double CDs, you have to delete the parts of the tracklist which don't belong to the file manually after step two.
- I recommend having the UNSYNCEDLYRICS field in the tag panel, as my script is not fully automatic (usage step four, comments one & two).
I have only tested a few pages so far. Works fine on most releases. Even most of the more complicated tracklists (see posting above) work.
Mixarists (Producer,Remixer,...) can not be written into the cue file as far as I know. So you have a slight loss of information, when you transfer the tracklist form the UNSYNCEDLYRICS tag field into the .cue file and delete the tracklist in the tag field afterwards. Just wanted to point on that. If anybody knows how to implement a field like MIXARTIST into a cue file, please let me know.
The actiongroup will be packed into the next update of the script.
Improvement suggestions and reports of discogs pages which don't work are welcome!
