Request: Key information from rekordbox xml to traktor nml #31

Open craigspree opened 4 years ago

craigspree commented 4 years ago

As a DJ transferring cues and track metatags from RekordBox to Traktor, I would like the KEY information to be copied from the Rekordbox XML (where it is stored as Tonality="" within the track tag) and placed into the collection.nml as KEY="" within the INFO tag.

Attached are 2 screenshots: 1 Existing collection nml file generated from Traktor with the KEY variable showing the location within the file.

Output from dj-data-converter where the Key value has not been added into the generated collection nml file.

1 traktor_key_value

2 converted_key_could_be_placed_before_end_of_Info_tag

Hi @craigspree,

I think this could be done, but these points need to be considered:

Rekordbox uses Camelot notation, and Traktor uses Open Key notation, so there would need to be a mapping between them.
The key detection in Traktor is still noticeably more accurate than Rekordbox according to my latest knowledge (although I read that Rekordbox is catching up). So to gain more accurate key values after converting from Rekordbox to Traktor for instance, users would then need to re-analyze the key anyway.

These are just some initial thoughts!

FWIW here's a mapping :) https://github.com/reducecombine/traktor-keys/blob/cec694cf1db861bf114e0027d62d79d7f295a1e7/src/net/vemv/traktor_keys.clj#L13

I'd love to start using this tool soon. I'll want to keep Rekordbox as my source of truth, generating Traktor dbs from time to time. Including key info would help, I reckon!

Hi @vemv,

Many thanks for the sponsorship! 🙏🙂

I'm currently working on a fix for #33 which is fairly involved and requires me to investigate some unfamiliar stuff, so I can't really say how long that will take. However, when that issue is fixed, I'll try to allocate some time for this one.

Thanks 🙂
