One thing that has always annoyed me about song catalogs for the various CD
players is that you cannot identify the CD's just by looking at the filenames -
ID10300A32042737 is totally meaningless*. :( So I decided to knock up this
little AREXX script.
Most of these CD players allow you to add/edit the song files. The file is
usually an ASCII file with the following format:
Artist
CD Title
Song 1
Song 2
..etc
This script reads the first two lines of these song files and writes them both
as a filenote to the file. This makes it easier to identify a particular CD
song file - especially using DOpus 5 or similar.
New for V1.1 is the option to write the output to an index file instead. The
index ('RCDIndex') will be written to the same directory as the disks files
themselves.
This script has been tested with the song files supplied and/or created
with the following CD players:
CEED
MCDPlayer
SkandalfoCDP12
It should work with other programs that use the same format for the song files.
You may have to alter the FileStart variable if the files do not begin with
'ID'. See script for example.
