Dalet INF and XML are
supported as "read" (import) types - These sit alongside the audio.
INF+XML are read
using "Load Folder", either by entering a folder path in the top of the
main program window, or using the menu shortcut CTRL-O. Once you've loaded this info into MyLibrary, you can use
the Mass Changer to read Cue-In/Segue infomation as well as set other
attributes. To preserve new information, you are advised to ensure that
SongCard Saves JockMaster JMD Files is ticked in
the Config - or use CTRL-J on newly imported files to bulk-save. You can
then select Read MyrLibrary JMD Files to re-load
using JMD (rather than Dalet) as JMD supports all library fields. If you don't do this, you'll only get the INF stored in
the Dalet files! Remember that changes made in the main list-view are NOT
permanent until you export to a tag/file format - this can be your friend, or a
nuisance - so please ensure you understand what changes you are making and how
you intend to save them. Sometimes, you might not - You could temporarily
re-number your Cart Numbers for a different radio station but keep your own
numbering system. The possibilities are endless.
MyLibrary can export
to Dalet-style XML files (one per audio track) which in turn can be imported
using the ACE (Audio Conversion Engine) from Trinity Software.
The <itemCode>
is derived from the Cart field which allows you to sync Dalet with a scheduler
like Powergold and allow (Super)Impex to merge the logs into Dalet with the
correct audio items. Please note that Dalet ItemCodes which are
not padded to 5 digits will be treated as a different item. In other
words, whilst other systems will recognise that Cart 1 and Cart 00001 are the
same, Dalet will not. Fade During Segue XML Format
Subject
to a configuration setting, you can instruct MyLibrary to ensure that all songs
with a "Fade" ending are given a suitable fade marker when importing into
Dalet. This ensures that when Dalet is in AutoPilot , the song is faded during the segue - you
can turn this option on/off as well as define the fade time. The default
is 3000mS. The example below shows the outgoing track with a
FadeOut marker at the same position as the Segue (or xFade) point.
