Short: Write CD title and artist to filenote. Author: roy@ebrown.demon.co.uk (Roy Brown) Uploader: roy@ebrown.demon.co.uk (Roy Brown) Version: 1.0 Type: disk/cdrom ReadCDTitles.rexx v1.0 © 1996 Roy Brown 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. 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.
