Post subject:  Software - make a list of all mids and kars
Hello,
I have MANY karaoke files. I would like to make an ordered list of all the songs, at least ordered by author.

Then I would like to print this list, so that people can choose by author the song they want.

Is there a fast way to achieve this?
Thanks

Other than typing in all the tracks into an microsoft excel sheet (or similar) then printing I have no idea. Either way, it is likely to be a long laborious job.

I just write a script using the "find" command. But I am a programmer.

You can get Latshaw's Song List Generator and it will do things like that. Though I am not sure about kar and mid files. No one here really deals with those much.

And what do you use instead of .mid and .kar?

Do you share the script or you keep it private?

I would share it, but it uses Perl and find and not 1 of 100 people has the ability to run it. I could obviously modify it to handle .kar and .mid -- it looks for .zip right now.

My specialization is Networking, but I think I can make it run.

What does this script do? Makes the list from the filename or from the informations about author and title inside the files?

You can if you install Cygwin or maybe perl. Not otherwise.

First of all, it relies on the files being named consistently. The standard in mp3+g files, at least the most common one, is

DD1234-01 - Artist, The - Title, The.zip

It's as simple as:

cd /karaoke
find . -name '*.zip' | perl -pe 's:.*/::; s/\.zip$//; s/ - /\t/;'

An all-perl version would be:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

    use File::Find;

    my $wanted = sub {
        return unless -f $_;
        s/\.(zip|kar|mid)$//i or return;
        s/ - /\t/g;
        print "$_\n";
    };

    my $dir = shift || '.';

    File::Find::find($wanted, $dir);


You can install Strawberry Perl pretty easily (it's free, search Google).

If all your files are in one folder and the artist (author) is the first name n the file you could use a simple directory print program. There are lots of free ones on the web.

If that didn't fit the your needs I agree with Latshaw's songbook generator but then again you have to have them named properly.

This is the command and error that I am getting:

You don't have the "find" command unless you have Cygwin or the equivalent. You are going to have to use my self-contained script.

If you still haven't got this sorted out I would be happy to help. You can get a list of files by using the command line interface in windows.
Start->Run type ""command or "cmd"
if your files are in many different directories type
cd\ <enter>
dir *.mid /s /b>mid.txt <enter>
this will give you a listing of all midi files on your computer in a file called mid.txt
if you have them all in one directory, navigate to that directory and then type:
dir *.mid /b>mid.txt
do the same thing with the kar files but instead of *.mid make it *.kar and of course the output file should be named kar.txt.

Attach these two files to an e-mail and shoot it my way along of an example of what you would like the result to look like. Use "Karaoke" as the subject so I don't delete it as junk. My e-mail address is outintheweeds-AT-hotmail.com and I'll send them back in your format. Or I'll give it a shot anyway.
