feature request: Serato SL Cue import

[acacaa]

This feature would save many days spend making cue-points second time.

Maybe somewhat useful information is that Serato Scratch Live will save Cue-points in the mp3 file, I think some hidden ID3-tag.
Serato is also downloadable for free @ http://serato.com/downloads (you don't even have to put your real email address there, download will start immediately)
Only 1 deck + no DVS without Rane hardware but making cues and playing a song work just fine.

Thanks.

We could also try the same with Traktor and Virtual DJ and we would have covered 95% of djs.

Serato DJ cue points would be HUGE, also crates would be nice. I have over 5k tracks, usually with multiple cue points. Would be a shame to lose all that time.

Lets focus this bug on Serato DJ cue points. You may file a separate bug for crates.

Is there any license free docs available that describes Serato tag format?

It would be also a good start if one can attach a copyright free file, decorated with additional Serato tags, including a description what the decoration includes.
Maybe we are able to reverse engineer the format.

Importing beat grids should also be supported.

At least for MP3 files, Serato stores cue points in the ID3 v 2.3 GEOB tags of the music files. Source: http://serato.com/forum/discussion/345668

I started a wiki page for documenting Serato's cue storage format: http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/serato_cue_storage_format

[Jan Holthuis (holthuis-jan)]

Since there isn't any documentation of Serato's GEOB tag internals publicly available, I sat down an started to reverse-engineer the format.
Hotcues and Saved Loop are stored in the "Serato Markers2" tag.

Code to parse/unparse Serato tag data has been added in PR #2323:
https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/2323

Integration into Mixxx (e.g. Conversion of Mixxx Cues <-> Serato Cues) is still missing though.

Mixxx now uses GitHub for bug tracking. This bug has been migrated to:
