Last year I built a Delphi App to record the playlist on
Wave files and then converted the WAVE files to MP3.
I first tried BLADEENC at 128k but found Audio Catalyst
with VBR at 128k produced a better sounding result.

Thanks for your note. Not being an access programmer, it did not =

(although I did, believe it or not, realize that possibility late =
yesterday after I sent out my mail).
I want to build up a coalition of programmers to do this project. =
Are you interested in taking on some part?
Tom.

Your application(2) could be done right away without any =

Subject: [slinkelist] CDJ and MP3's
I've been thinking about CDJ and MP3's recently. Here's what I =
think the CDJ community needs:
1. A slinkx application that will monitor the playback of a =
playlist by CDJ, and as each track starts and ends, use Windows sound =
recorder or another recorder to record the audio playing into the =
computer's sound card as .WAV files, and then use a MP3 encoder such as =
BLADEENC.EXE to convert the .wav files to MP3's and at the same time =
store ID3 information in each MP3, having at least the album and track =
names that were supplied by CDJ during the playback. To make a more =
complete package, an ID3v2 tag could be created in the MP3, with CDJ's =
stored lyrics and image.
2. A slinkx application that will scan an entire hard drive for =
every MP3 file and then automatically create audio file albums and =
tracks in CDJ, building albums from MP3's having the same album name. =
Also, images and/or lyrics in ID3v2 MP3's would be transported over to =
separate files and linked into CDJ to display with those tracks.
Application (2) is probably the most generally useful app, =
because a user that had an entire disk library ripped into another MP3 =
program such as RealJukebox, would be able to use application (2) to =
directly and automatically import all of those MP3's into CDJ (assuming =
they were ID3 tagged when created).
Colby, unfortunately you will need to expand the CDJ automation =
interface to CDJ to facilitate application (2) - you will need to have =
CDJ commands and responses for adding audio file albums and tracks to =
albums, as well as to insert links to image files for particular albums =
or tracks, and insert lyrics.
Any thoughts?
