'Lo fine people
I thought I would share with you some of the scripts I have been developing to make my life easier dealing with DJ Sets (specifically cuesheet metadata). I have written a bunch of powershell scripts and came up with the technique of adding a registry entry so that I could launch the script from the context of a .CUE or .MP3 file in explorer.
I hope this provokes some discussion and debate about DJSet management.
The scripts I want to share/discuss:
1: Automatic generation of a cuesheet for a DJ Set in ".\Cuesheets" (parsing a playlist from clipboard). If time indexes are unavailable it will divide track length/no tracks and average it out.
2: Export of cuesheet into tracklist format to clipboard with time indexes (for time index tweaking)
3: Search script to look in all cue files for specific tracks matching a regex pattern
4: Automatic splitting of a .CUE file into individual MP3 files for burning (car usage)
5: Automatic splitting of an .MP3 file into 5 minute chunks (when no cuesheet available)
6: Quickly associating a downloaded .CUE with your .MP3 (in explorer)
7: Automatically downloading cuesheets from external web sites and associating them
An example of how I get options into my explorer context menu:
PHP:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellcue_tweak_get]
@="(.CUE) GET Adjustment Matrix"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellcue_tweak_getCommand]
@="powershell -command F:\MP3\!DJMixes\Ripped\!Scripts\tweak_cue.ps1 '%1' 'get_matrix'"
The scripts require .NET 2.0, Powershell, Powershell Community Extensions and probably some tweaking as they refer to physical paths on my machine. The scripts reference third party command line tools: wget, mp3splt, id3, mp3info, grep. Don't mess unless you know what you are doing!
What are you guys scripting?
If enough interest is sparked, I might talk about how I have combined Powershell with Task Manager v2.0 :)

BTW: Just to elaborate on Script #1 (which is my favourite script).
Someone posted this tracklist in another thread:

I simply copy that into my clipboard with CTRL-C, then right click the DJ Set MP3 file and select "Generate Cue Sheet". Then the cuesheet is generated in an instant:

I think this would make life much easier for you guys trying to ID tracks to use something like this |
