Generate CUE file from tracklist?, generate cue sheet from track list mp3 Options

[pone]

I also made a converter. No extra tool or dummy files necessary. An Actiongroup and an export. I have packed the mta & mte file into a zip for download. Copy the folder structure in the zip file to %appdata%\mp3tag

You have to do the following:
1. Save the tracklist in the UNSYNCEDLYRICS tag-field
2. Run the actiongroup

The tracklist must be written in the following style:
- with or without tracknumbers at the begin of each line
- artist must be written in front of title, must be separted with at leat " - " but can have also more additional spaces or dashes (-)
- the tracklength must stand after the title, minutes and second must be seperated by a colon ( :)
- no headline or text after the tracklist.
so most tracklist you find in the internet will work without extra text arranging. e.g. the one in the starting post works fine.



If you want, you can delete the last action of the group, which is the automatic start of the export script. Than you have only timestamped lyrics without a cue file, which also can be displayed with some plugins at some mediaplayers.


And that is how it works in detail:

Actions:
1. delete tracknumbers
Action: Format Value
Field: UNSYNCEDLYRICS
Formatstring: $regexp(%unsyncedlyrics%,(\r\n|^...\|\|)\d+(\W|_)*,$1)

2. tracklength into next line
Action: Format Value
Field: UNSYNCEDLYRICS
Formatstring: $regexp(%unsyncedlyrics%,(\d+:\d+)\D*(\r\n),$2$1 - )

3. add "[000:00] #01 - " at begin
Action: Format Value
Field: UNSYNCEDLYRICS
Formatstring: $regexp(%unsyncedlyrics%,^...\|\|(.*),'[000:00] #01 - $1')

4. delete last tracklength
Action: Format Value
Field: UNSYNCEDLYRICS
Formatstring: $regexp(%unsyncedlyrics%,(.*\D)\d+:\d+,$1)

5. calculate timestamps & set new tracknumbers:
Action: Replace with Regular Expression
Regular Expression: (.*\[(\d+):(\d+)\] #(\d+) .+?\r\n)(\d+):(\d+)
Replace Matches with: $1[$num($add($2,$5,$div($add($3,$6),60)),3):$num($mod($add($3,$6),60),2)] #$num($add($4,1),2)
This action is repeated for every line, so I dublicated it about 100 times.

6. clean up artist & title names
Action: Format Value
Field: UNSYNCEDLYRICS
Formatstring: $regexp(%unsyncedlyrics%,'#(\d+) - (.*?)[\s-]+-[\s-]+(.*?)[\s-]*(\r\n|$)',#$1 - $2 - $3$4)


Export:

QUELLTEXT

$filename(%_filename%.cue,ansi)PERFORMER "%albumartist%"
     TITLE "%album%"
     FILE "%_filename_rel%" %_extension%
    
     $regexp($regexp(%unsyncedlyrics%,ID,unknown - unknown),.*?'\['(.*?)']' #(\d+) - (.*?) - (.*?)(\r\n|$),
     TRACK $2 AUDIO
       TITLE "$4"
       PERFORMER "$3"
       INDEX 01 $1:00
     )

not bad, is it :D
edit:
I just made a little change in the second action to get also tracklists with extra spaces or things like min after the tracklength

pone, good work too!

Annotations:
It does not work for me yet. I am still on evaluating why.

Maybe the UNSYNCEDLYRICS tag-field causes the error because of the leading "eng||" attribute.
You should choose an user defined tag-field 'TMP_CUESHEET' or something alike, that do not interfere with standard tag-fields.

One entry in the tracklist file looks like this:
"06 Forth - Solavox (Traffik's Tambura Psalm) - 6:32     " (without the double quotes)
Perhaps there is some trimming necessary.

You can embed the import of the tracklist into a prepended action to do a bit more automation.

thank you

download it again. i stumbled over the same problem and made a edit of the second action to deal with the spaces after the tracklength.

i treated the "eng||" as a regex "^...\|\|" so it should be no problem even if a user has changed the Mp3Tag standard

i deliberatly didn't pack the export into the actiongroup, because for many users (for me) timestamped lyrics will be enough. that's also the reason why i've chosen that field, it's more or less standard for tracklists of dj-mixes.
it should be easy even for beginners to add the export to the actiongroup.

[DetlevD]

... download it again. ...

I did.
You should not edit mta file manually. see action #1.

I don't understand what you mean? Isn't it working now?
Where is the difference if I edited action within Mp3Tag or with a text editor in the mta file?
With the second action, I meant #1 (treating #0 as the first action)


EDIT:
Ah, I see the differences. There are some extra slashes in the mta. Uploaded it again, hope it's working now.

\r\n is not escaped to \\r\\n ...
... and you can add 6 actions more to get 99 actions, which should be the maximum of the cuesheet list.
I've changed the tag-field name and what before works does not work now. I have to dig in deeper.
Maybe now it is the missing "eng||" attribute?

I hope it works now. Uploaded again. Had no internet connection for a short time before.

I've packed the export into the actiogroup now.

If you change the field, "^...\|\|" must be replace with "^"

4) Start my tool from the command line: TextToCue_length.exe "Tracklist.txt"
It should create a new file Tracklist.Cue_length.txt

It will only work if the track times are on the right side and every line must have a track time!

Thanks Dano!
I don't know if I had do anything wrong but when I execute this comand I get this error:

---------------------------
AutoIt Error
---------------------------
Line 1095 (File "D:\TextToCue_length.exe"):


Error: Subscript used with non-Array variable.
---------------------------
Aceptar
---------------------------


What could be causing this? I use win7x64.
Thanks!

Sorry, the tool work. I'm write wrong the comand line (tracklist.txt.txt)

[vvcepheus7]

6) Finally start the export with this script:

CODE

$filename(export.cue,ansi)TITLE ""
PERFORMER ""
FILE "Test.mp3" MP3
$loop(a)  TRACK $num(%_counter%,2) AUDIO
    TITLE "%title%"
    PERFORMER "%artist%"
    INDEX 01 %composer%
$loopend()

Dano, all work ok! many thanks!!
Only one thing, for export I prefer use this:

CODE

$filename(export.cue,ansi)
FILE "Test.mp3" MP3
$loop(a)  TRACK $num(%_counter%,2) AUDIO
    TITLE "%title%"
    PERFORMER "%artist%"
    INDEX 01 %composer%
$loopend()

This form cue splitter run beter, if I don't do it get warnigs!

[dano]

I've updated my post with a full automatic solution. But it is limited to a certain layout of the tracklist file.

Also great work by pone - solving the problem with Mp3tag.

[vvcepheus7]

pone, your work run ok, also many thanks!
dano, I test it and also work very fine! thanks!

you are my hero's!!! hehe

this function is good when you have a mp3 without cue file and you don't find in internet! this happens to me many times!

the only problem is you must to use a specific format on the tracklist. It's a pity that you can not use an custom format for read the tracklist but nothing happens with it I save the most part of the work and I this is fine.

thanks again

edit: sorry, "shame" no, "pity" google translator is a traitor.

Yes, dano, that is the simple app what I have thought of!
Better you mark all the old instructions in the 'download' post above as invalid.

Dano, I have a little problem!

I would like create an action that:

1) import text file:

field: INDEXTIME
filename: C:\Tracklist_length.txt

2) Export:

Generar CUE

CODE

$filename(export.cue,ansi)
FILE "Test.mp3" MP3
$loop(a)  TRACK $num(%_counter%,2) AUDIO
    TITLE "%title%"
    PERFORMER "%artist%"
    INDEX 01 %INDEXTIME%
$loopend()

If I do it this I obtain this cue:

thank you!
