PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT ON THE SCRIPT. ENJOY.
Credit for original script goes to jaimz and especially to pone for his invaluable help throughout.

Nice to see the final version.
Good work!

Thanks pone. Means a lot to hear you say that. :]

Thanks a lot. Very useful and seems to work flawlessly!

hey,

i just registered to say thanks. great work! it blows my mind what can be done with the web sources scripts API.

Any chance of this little beauty pulling the Key information of tracks? Is it offered in the api?

The script now offers BPM and INITIAL KEY parsing. See starting post.

For some reason, when I try to tag by URL, it says the following:

"Error connecting to server: http://api.beatport.com"

This is the URL of one of the songs I am trying to tag.

http://www.beatport.com/track/so-much-love...lub-mix/2439233

Your error relates to using the wrong URL to parse beatport.com. Instead of using the track url use the release one such as http://www.beatport.com/release/so-much-love/438196 whereas track is like the url you posted relates to the individual track itself.

The script is not intended for individual tracks. The way I use it if there I have only one track from a release But in is to parse the album it relates too.

But in your case the track you are parsing is the only one on your realease.

UPDATE VERSION 1.1 OF 'BEATPORT.COM SCRIPTS BY STEVEHERO'

1. added a search by title script.
2. added leading zeros to track and totaltracks.
3. added output of TRACK / TOTALTRACKS

See this post for update.

Had the same problem and could fix it by applying the following changes to the source-files:

Change the line with
[AlbumUrl]=http://api.beatport.com/catalog/releases/detail?v=1.0&format=xml&id=
to
[AlbumUrl]=http://api.beatport.com

and then change
regexpreplace ">\s+<" "><"
findinline "<release"
to
regexpreplace ">\s+<" "><"
say "/catalog/releases/detail?v=1.0&format=xml&id="
findinline "<release"

Hope this helps

Firstly thanks stevehero, dano and pone for these fantastics scripts. I only discovered the web sources forum yesterday and I've been tagging using the scripts since.

Ok the problem I'm having is that I'm happy with the existing ARTIST fields of the releases I'm tagging using the Steve's beatport script so I've been trying to customise it slightly so that this field is skipped when it comes to tagging. Not having much look I'm afraid.

Firstly I tried commenting out, using #, the lines below but the script no longer works properly when I do this (attachment 1)

# ARTIST
findline "<performer"
unspace
joinuntil "</track>"
regexpreplace ">\s+<" "><"
regexpreplace "<performer ref=\"([^\"]+)\"[^>]+><name>([^\"]+)</name></performer>" "<$1>$2"
outputto "Artist"
sayregexp "(?<=<Artist>)[^<]+" "\\\\" "</track>"
say "|"
gotochar 1

I've also tried commenting out only the line that says...

outputto "Artist"

... but that doesn't work correctly either (attachment 2). The GENRE field gets muddled up for want of a better word!

It's as if the script requries the artist field to be written. Can anyone help me with this?

Cheers,
Pau.

comment-out only the say... parts at the artist section:

that should work.


or simply set artist to zero at the end of the script. or almost at the end, but before the "track fix" section, if you get a strange output at track and title.

Thanks pone, that works great. I've also been playing around with the script and made some changes to prevent other fields being written and it's working really well



Maybe you can help me with the issue I'm having with the DATE field? It's read in the script in the format MMDD whereas all my other previously tagged files are in DDMM format. Pone you helped me with this in this topic but I'm lost at how the regular expression you gave me would work otuside the main program and in a script.

Many thanks,
Paul

put this line

after

at the DATE section.


or


change this

into this

at the DATE section



@ stevehero:
I hope you don't mind me messing up your script

To format the DATE in the format DDMM

Enter the following:

**EDIT**
@pone, not one little bit :] Just seen you posted. Its a cleaner method but both things do the same @The Sheriff.

pone, you are a genius. Thanks again.

Beatport are now displaying the bpm and song Key info in the API..

Could you please add these tags into the next update of the script?

I've modified my .src files and I now get the bpm.
but I'm struggling with the song key info. (I'm new to this)

thanks

I've taken a quick look on my phone there and its seems they do have it in the API . This will be included in the next update of the script very soon as its the most requested feature from you guys.

Thanks for pointing that out garves.

I've been very busy (my apologies) so those looking for a quick fix to the BPM and INITIALKEY info. Heres goes.

The INITIALKEY tag is formatted as follows:
C Minor
C♯ Major
A♭ Minor

I have tested the special character '♭' in traktor and it shows up. Any problems for now just find where it says 'replace "1" "♭"' in the code below and change the '♭' to a 'b'.

BTW Any suggestions as to how you would like this formatted please let me know. OR maybe its fine the way it is :]

Just so I can update the next version to how you guys like it

Please place whats in italics between whats in bold in the script, like so:
# _LENGTH
outputto "_length"
findline "<trackLength>"
findinline ">"
sayuntil "</"
say "|"
# BPM
outputto "BPM"
findline "<trackBpm>"
findinline ">"
sayuntil "</"
say "|"
# KEY
outputto "InitialKey"
findline "<trackKey>"
# LETTER
moveline 2
findinline ">"
sayuntil "</"
# SHARP
moveline 1
replace "1" "♯"
findinline ">"
sayuntil "</"
# FLAT
moveline 1
replace "1" "♭"
findinline ">"
sayuntil "</"
# CHORD
moveline 1
replace "minor" "Minor"
replace "major" "Major"
findinline ">"
Say " "
sayuntil "</"
say "|"
# GENRE
outputto "Genre"
findline "<genre"

Thanks stevehero, Key and Bpm are working great!

Uploaded now is the latest version of 'beatport by stevehero v1.2' scripts (see first post here for full details)

Its includes the BPM and INITIALKEY fields all you you wanted. Along with an action to change the key to the Camelot notation found in the Mixed In Key application. e.g. 'A♭ Minor' would be '1A'. This makes it much easier visually to see what tracks go with what. For all you DJs check the website on how to use this method of mixing.

Incredible update

Registered to say thank you!

are you planning on eventually integrating the Camelot scale into the Main source script? I was trying to figure it out all day but couldn't figure out how to output the formated Key (A Minor) as a temporary value so that I could then run a couple replace actions (replace "A Minor" "8A") and then set that to the InitialKey

Any help would be appreciated!

Damn stevehero, this last update made my favorite Script even better....

I purchased mixed in key around a year ago and very quickly learned the importance of harmonic mixing. I stuck the Camelot wheel to the top of my controllers flight-case and after a few mixing sessions harmonic mixing was as natural as beat-matching. If there are any other DJ types here give it a shot, stevehero already did the hard part for you


One Issue I'm having with the action script - the Camelot scale doesn't have a number for G# Minor, A# Minor, or C# Minor, like it does on the Circle of Fifths, so when I use the action script on say, this song it doesn't change.

The correct way to label these on a Camelot wheel is:
A-sharp Minor = B-flat Minor (3A)
G-sharp Minor = A-flat Minor (1A)
C-sharp Minor = D-flat Minor (12A)

I had a look at the Action Script and it looks like I was able to fix it by adding these to it.



I attached my fixed action script as well.

Again, thanks a ton for this awesome script!

Thank you 'pinknoise'. I am in the process of doing so. :]

But I need a little help first.

What I have is a list of replaces below in the test script.

What I need is all the remaining Camelot notations to match the missing scales. So.....

Thanks 'chriswike' for pointing that out. I had already noticed that but not gotten round to modifying the action which will no longer be needed once I have the script finished. I have everything working.

I just need to find out:

How you came about these values?
The other values I have noticed missing such as 'D# Minor'?
Are there other values that I should be aware of that are missing?

It sounds that You have to learn some basics of musical theory.
There are many sources to hear and read about, e. g. school lessons and ... wikipedia.

The sharp version ...
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintenzirkel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_fifths
Especially understand "Relation with chromatic scale" and "Enharmonics".

The flat version ...
http://www.musicians-place.de/harmonielehr...ntenzirkel.html
http://www.musicians-place.com/harmonics/c...-of-fifths.html

DD.20120201.0535.CET

Basically, notes that sound the same are written differently because they have a different function beyond just sound.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enharmonic_change

That should explain some

Please ask any questions you have about

Thanks DetlevD, I have studied music production, only for a 13 weeks on a 1 week basis. Maybe I was asleep during the Music Theory class :] only joking. I got it now its basically the fact that there not listed on the Mixedinkey wheel which threw me slightly.

An example of a beatport lists a track as been in the key
D♯ Minor (Harmonic Scale) = E♭ Minor (Harmonic Scale) = 2A (Camelot Notation)

Its the same root key. Different function. Different name. Its all coming back to me now.

Here is the list I have below in the script (Should be finished tonight 01.02.2012):
replace "A♭ Minor" "1A"
replace "G♯ Minor" "1A" # SAME KEY #
replace "E♭ Minor" "2A"
replace "D♯ Minor" "2A" # SAME KEY #
replace "B♭ Minor" "3A"
replace "A♯ Minor" "3A" # SAME KEY #
replace "F Minor" "4A"
replace "C Minor" "5A"
replace "G Minor" "6A"
replace "D Minor" "7A"
replace "A Minor" "8A"
replace "E Minor" "9A"
replace "B Minor" "10A"
replace "F♯ Minor" "11A"
replace "D♭ Minor" "12A"
replace "C♯ Minor" "12A" # SAME KEY #
replace "B Major" "1B"
replace "F♯ Major" "2B"
replace "D♭ Major" "3B"
replace "C♯ Major" "3B" # SAME KEY #
replace "A♭ Major" "4B"
replace "G♯ Major" "4B" # SAME KEY #
replace "E♭ Major" "5B"
replace "D♯ Major" "5B" # SAME KEY #
replace "B♭ Major" "6B"
replace "A♯ Major" "6B" # SAME KEY #
replace "F Major" "7B"
replace "C Major" "8B"
replace "G Major" "9B"
replace "D Major" "10B"
replace "A Major" "11B"
replace "E Major" "12B"

I think my mind had brain freeze. I have studied Electronic music Production. Problem solved. Thanks for your help.

Great job, thank you!
But i dont see download link...

Thank you. Link is now available in the starting post here.

Wow, amazing script!

many thanks stevehero

thank you for the excellent script! I've been using a couple other ones but nothing works as well for my d&b collection

I've been trying to remove the total tracks after the track number and can't seem to figure it out...so I am getting:

Track:
01/04
02/04
03/04
04/04

where I am trying to remove the 04 from each track number, but I have tried adding the # in front of the totaltrack's output and also removing the # at the bottom of the script from the totaltracks, but can't seem to get rid of it without removing the 0's from the front of the number of the single tracks, so the best i can get is

1
2
3
4

but I want to keep the 0's in front of the single tracks...

Hope this makes since...
You've made it so much easier to catalog my music Thank you

If you want TRACK to be 01, 02, 03 etc

See code after # TOTALTRACKS (Delete the lines that are strikedthrough)
# TOTALTRACKS
outputto "totaltracks"
sayregexp "(\d+)$"
# TRACK / TOTALTRACKS
outputto "beatport stevehero track / totaltracks temp"

# sayregexp "(\d+)$"

New version up. Problem with release below where there was no track key. Thanks to Pone for spotting it.

V2.1
FIXED: Releases with missing keys (see example www.beatport.com/release/you-know-what-its-like/892120).

SEE STARTING POST HERE

Hello stevehero, thanks again for excellent add on. I have suggestion: can you make the settings like R E M O V E F I E L D S will be global to all scripts (ie. in external file)?

You mean like Pones External settings?

My knowledge of doing such a task isn't quite there yet and I think I probably won't end up doing such settings because I think the script works fine without them.

The best I can do is point you in the direction of a very usefull freeware app notepad++. It's like notedpad, but better.

Steps in changing settings quick:
1. Download & Install notepad++ HERE
2. Open all my scripts at the same time.
3. Highlight the line for example '# set "catalog #"'
4. Hit Ctrl+H
5. Type in the 'Replace box' ' set "catalog #"'
6. Click 'Replace All in All Opened Documents'

This will deactivate ALL the CATALOG # fields if you want.

That is okay for me, thanks for tip.

Also, I found a little problem: if genre consist of two words it is stored in tag inversely (ie. "Tech House" becomes "House Tech".

That's fully intentional. I prefer it that way because I can have all my housey genres easily sortable within any music software.

But for your needs delete all the replace functions which are striked-through:
# GENRE
outputto "Genre"
findline "</label>" 1 1
moveline 1
unspace
if "<genre "
joinuntil "</genre>"
replace "Deep House" "House Deep"
replace "Electro House" "House Electro"
replace "Minimal" "House Minimal"
replace "Progressive House" "House Prog"
replace "Tech House" "House Tech"
replace "Vocal House" "House Vocal"
findinline "<name>"
sayuntil "</"
endif
say "|"

Oh, I see. Thanks for solution!

Hello Stevehero...

at first, big thanks for you and a huge praise for the script.

so far I have edited my collection with the discogsscript and changed it for my taste

i had merged the LABEL (First Information) and CATALOG (second information) in the column "CONTENTGROUP" with square brackets

Example: [Strictly Rhythms / STRV06D]

I had trying to change it but unfortunately without success

Please can you help me?

Sorry for my bad english...

Thank you for your kind words. I can understand your needs okay. Make sure you place the code below between the headings below in the script while keeping the existing lines of code.


You should find this section towards the bottom of the script.

Oh... Thank you, it works, thats perfekt

Great script!

I guess I found a little bug: On Beatport the Genre is "Tech House" - but with your script it becomes "House Tech" ... bug or feature?

Thanks. Feature. I find it much easier to group all the House Genres together. Thats why the House comes before the sub-genre. Makes sense to me anyway. But to change it open all the scripts and find where it says in the script. (Both Release and Single Track Scripts)

joinuntil "</genre>"
replace "Deep House" "House Deep"
replace "Electro House" "House Electro"
replace "Minimal" "House Minimal"
replace "Progressive House" "House Prog"
replace "Tech House" "House Tech"
replace "Vocal House" "House Vocal"
findinline "<name>"
sayuntil "</"
endif
say "|"

Remove the strikeout words from your scripts and your good to go to what beatport displays its genres as.

Never thought about this. Great feature! Thanks

I can't believe it took me this long to find this script. Its fan-freaking-tastic.

However, I'm noticing a little problem. I have edited the TRACK section because I like having "xxx featuring yyy" to be "xxx ft yyy", but I have noticed that it disregards this config and uses what it pulls from beatport



What can I do?

You have tampered with the workings of the script because the %title% should be outputted to "tracks". See the examples below of how the #RELEASE version of the script should look with a few small additions to it since my last update (have not uploaded this version yet) as regards the regexpreplaces. What you need to do is copy what is in bold to the script between the same text shown and it should work fine.

_______________________________________________________
set "albumartist", "VA" # CHANGE "VA" TO YOUR LIKING
outputto "compilation" # COMPILATION "1" IF "VA"
say "1"
endif
endif
replace "|" "/"
# TRACKS

outputto "tracks"
findline "<name>"

regexpreplace "Ft.\s+" "ft "
regexpreplace "Feat\s+" "ft "
