Export set list

[Mark Booth]

Feature request
Would it be possible to get Mixxx to create a set-list of all the tracks played during a session? Just a simple text file would be fine.

FYI a session history feature for Mixxx is part of the Google Summer of Code 2011 so exporting a setlist should be possible in the foreseeable future. http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/gsoc2011ideas#session_history_feature

Trunk also has support for recording CUE files, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_file, when recording to a file.

It is possible to export a m3u Playlist from a set-log with lp:~daschuer/mixxx/features_setlog

I think a m3u is not the same. What I personally (and I think also the bug reporter) would like is the mix's playlist in txt form like

1 interpret name - title
2 interpret name - title
3 interpret name - title

maybe also the track duration / time. This would be very useful for creating a cd cover (if the mix is burned to CD) or if the mix is uploaded to sound- or mixcloud in order to give a list of track played (for mixcloud such a track list is even mandatory, I do not know if cloudmix requires a certain txt format. If it does then one could maybe follow there requirements). What I currently do to have such a list, is by hand editing of the cue file in a text editor and rearrange the listed information there - very cumbersome.

there was also a poll here about it:
http://www.mixxx.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2463&view=viewpoll

i think that this is similar to the "create cue file" option for recordings but simply other output formats.

Hi Jens,

I have recently added, a csv export feature. Does this fulfil your requirements?
The cue INDEX feature is still missing, because we need a database schema update for that.

I have noticed that the text export has the most votes at the forum. Somehow, all output files have a text format.

What about exporting a mixcloud txt format? Do you have an example?

I have just notice that they have an API http://www.mixcloud.com/developers/documentation
I have not figured out so far, if we might upload the set log directly from Mixxx.
What do you think?

Cheers Daniel

Yes and no. Yes, because surely I can with some spreadsheat fiddling get
my preferred txt output from this (at least easier then fiddling with
the cue file). No, because actually I do not want to fiddle around with
spreadsheats just to get a simple tracklist of a mix.

It is very simple, just:
Artist1 - Track1
Artist2 - Track2
Artist3 - Track3
...

I think this is what most people want. Such a .txt file should simply be
droped in the Recordings folder.

No, absolutely not necessary. I would not even use such a feature since
on the web upload you usually can add an image and other information.
And you have more control over what is done instead of automagic upload.

Now it possible to export a Readable Text Playlist from a set-log with lp:~daschuer/mixxx/features_setlog.
Like:
1 interpret name - title
2 interpret name - title
3 interpret name - title

I have played around with the mixcloud upload and found out that they support list separated with dashes and comma (*.csv) format. They support:
Artist - Titel
Artist - Titel - Label
Artist,Titel,Label
"Artist"Titel","Label"
Artist - Titel(Label)
A leading number with a dot is ignored. A number without dot causes that the first letter of the artist is ignored.
Unfortunatly the can not handle embedded dashes, but that's their problem.

In forum ther was mentioned the 1001tracklists format. This is described here:
http://www.1001tracklists.com/create/tracklist.php?new

01. 00:00 artist - trackname (remixer remixname)
02. 04:30 ID
03. 08:00 artist2 - trackname2 (...)

This format is not excepted by mixcloud because of the additional Cue information.

Should we extend our "Readable Text" format with these Cue information when we have it in database?

In any case I will change the playlist position format to a "01."

Yes, this looks nice. The cue information is good, because very often
people ask "what track is this at minute 50?" and then you know it in a
description field of the mix on the web and people can easily look it up.

> In any case I will change the playlist position format to a "01."

ok, I do not really care about dot or not dot ;)

anyway: great and thanks! I will test it if i have time :)

FWIW, I wrote a script to convert from the .csv format Mixxx outputs to a format ("Artist"Title") that the track list text area will accept when pasted into it. (It probably doesn't work if either value contains a " character.)

The script is here: https://github.com/follower/mixcloud-munger/blob/master/mixcloud-munger.py

Thank you.

I am afraid this will be lost here, since the bug is "Fixed Released"
You may post it at http://www.mixxx.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=6&sid=f376269aab59af26ab4e5a2bb46e1a5f as well.

You upload the recorded mix and you paste the Tracklist in a second step, right?
How does it work at Mixcloud to set the cue points?

Could it become a part of the recording feature?
Option:
* create Cue Sheet
* Create "Artist"Title" file
* future: Save Serato playlist ;-)

If yes, you may file a new Bug for this.
