Serato Cue import / export?

Postby acacaa » Tue Feb 08, 2011 3:59 pm

Is it possible to import or export Serato SL cue points? or hard implenting such feature?
Would save me from cueing few thousand songs two times.

Hi Acacaa,

Unfortunately, we don't have this feature yet. I don't think this would be too difficult to implement, but I'm not sure how high of a priority this would be for us. I would personally love to see Serato library importing in Mixxx though.

If anyone is interested in hacking on something like this, I've written some C code that decodes the Serato library. I don't think I've explicitly handled cue points, but it shouldn't be more than a few lines to add that. Please email me if anyone's interested in this ( [email protected] )!

I'll see if any of our developers want to take a crack at it in the meantime.

Thanks,
Albert

Thanks :)

I think Serato saves cue points in to MP3 file, maybe hidden ID3-tag or something?

I made sure that Scratch Live actually will save cue points in the mp3 file. I made cue points on one computer, transfered only the mp3 file to another, opened in SL and vola, cues were there ready for use.

Scratch Live is also downloadable for free. Only 1 deck & no vinyl control without hardware, but you can make cue points, analyze and play songs just fine.

I don't know much about coding, but let me know if there is something I can do to help, upload mp3 samples or something.

^There it is, if I understood correctly that's what you meant.
