DSP write metadata file questions

[Carlosdk]

Hi,

Hi I'm writing a XSL file for the write metadata file DSP and I'm having problems getting the TOC right:

This is what a have so far, everything is working except the "<Raw_cd_toc>"

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<IDTags>
<Album><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/Album"/></Album>
<AlbumArtist><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/AlbumArtist"/></AlbumArtist>
<AlbumArtistSort><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/AlbumArtistSort"/></AlbumArtistSort>
<Artist><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/Artist"/></Artist>
<ArtistSort><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/ArtistSort"/></ArtistSort>
<Composer><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/Composer"/></Composer>
<ComposerSort><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/ComposerSort"/></ComposerSort>
<Conductor><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/Conductor"/></Conductor>
<ConductorSort><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/ConductorSort"/></ConductorSort>
<Orchestra><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/Orchestra"/></Orchestra>
<Soloists><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/Soloists"/></Soloists>
<Chorus><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/Chorus"/></Chorus>
<Broadcaster><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/Broadcaster"/></Broadcaster>
<Label><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/Label"/></Label>
<DiscNumber><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/Disc"/></DiscNumber>
<Title><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/Title"/></Title>
<Track><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/Track"/></Track>
<Duration><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/Length"/></Duration>
<ISRC><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/ISRC"/></ISRC>
<UPC><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/UPC"/></UPC>
<ReplayTrackGain><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/replaygain_track_gain"/></ReplayTrackGain>
<ReplayTrackPeak><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/replaygain_track_peak"/></ReplayTrackPeak>
<Raw_cd_toc><xsl:value-of select="AudioMetadata/ConvertedFile/IDTags/TOC"/></Raw_cd_toc>
</IDTags>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Another question is, if it's possible to get the musicbrainz ID's s part of the metadata?

Kind regards

Re: DSP write metadata file questions

Hi Carlosdk,

The write metadata DSP will only handle text metadata (the CDTOC is raw binary data).

It will handle MusicBrainz ID's, if they are stored as text metadata.

The best thing to do is run the conversion and let the DSP generate an XML file without an XSL applied (although I'm guessing you've already done this), this shows all of the available metadata tags in the source file which you can transform using an XSL.

It would require some development work, but the CDTOC could be added to the DSP output as a string of values (e.g. 12 150 17075 31242 44500 59197 71340 86590 101230 115427 127995 139915 150862 165220). Is this what you are looking for, or do you really want access to the raw binary data?

Best regards,
Daren.
