update which takes MyLibrary from v2.xx to v3.00 - The software has been at v2
for over 4 years so it was time for an update and some new features.

issue with importing Intro+Segue timings using the CSV files below - The
Artist, Title, EndType and Content/Genre import OK but the Segue icon shows a
warning sign (exclamation mark). v3.6.2 is safe to use with MyLibrary as is
the latest v4 (from v4.0.15 onwards)

-
Added : Network ItemType - You will need to modify your
MyLibrary.ini file BEFORE running this latest version.
[Style_3] now becomes the NETWORK type, so you'll need to
change [Style_3-6] to [Style_4-7]. If you find that your ItemTypes and
Categories are out of sync, then you have not carried out this
procedure.
24th January 2012 : v2.82.103
15th January 2012 : v2.82.102
-
Added : Send to
Genesys playout export option - This routine will copy your WAV files to your
Genesys import folder as well as saving the Genesys CartChunk format and
renaming the files to the CartID stored in MyLibrary. This allows you to
easily manage a scheduler with CartIDs as well as a simple "send to playout"
method for getting audio into your system. You can specify what
Categories are used during the import by adding the following new INI settings
to MyLibrary.INI - If you do not set an ImportPath, MyLibrary will prompt you
each time you use "Send to Genesys" for the import location. Setting it here
makes everything quicker especially if you only have 1 Genesys server.
New INI
settings for Genesys users:
[Genesys]
ImportPath=\\machine\share\Import\Audio
AdvertPrefix=C
JinglePrefix=J
MusicPrefix=M
VoiceTrackPrefix=V

remote-PC or media device/memory-card. All checked items are copied to
the destination folder - all non-checked items are deleted from the sync folder. Please note that
there is no "Recycle Bin" option with this method!

Library export - you can tick selected items to create an iTunes XML file
which in turn can be picked-up by a portable music device (tested with
Blackberry Desktop). The sync checkbox is saved to JMD and CSV only!
-
Fixed :
StationPlaylist INTRO/SEGUE offsets were not taking into account the
CUE position
-
Added : Library Actions>Playout / Scheduler
Interfacing>DRS2006 HRDat.txt Import - Will read a DRS2006 CSV
database file
-
Added : Config>Misc Settings>DRS2006 Audio Location -
This is the master location for your DRS2006 files. Because the
HRDat.txt only specifies a filename, you will need to define this location
prior to importing the HRDat.txt into MyLibrary
-
Added : Config>Audio File Tags>Get Audio Duration on new
files - Checking this option will force MyLibrary to read the length of
the audio file if a BCX3 or JMD file is not present. The value
calculated is the full length of the file, not a safe segue point!
-
Fixed : M3U Playlist
loading was not correctly formatting the grid
-
Added : Library Actions>Export to Excel CSV File - this
exports to a true comma-delimited format with inverted-commas as a text
qualifier, eg: "Field1","Field2","Field3"
-
Fixed : CueIn was not
being read in JMD when using M3U or Load From Folder
-
Added : Export to
ID3v2 Tags [CTRL-I] - ideal for creating Media Player/Winamp friendly
tags. These tags should not cause any problems with EncoDAD or Myriad
MP3 import. APE tags seem to be the cause of incorrect imports, hence
this new ID3v2-only tag option.
-
Fixed : Genre/Style
list wouldn't display in some situations - the Styles offered now match the
ItemType selected in either the Song Card or Mass Change windows.

changes
14th November
2010 : v2.50 - MAJOR NEW VERSION
This release
has been upped to v2.50 due to a number of improvements/additions...
- A waveform editor is now available in the Song Card -
this allows you to make basic edits and set cue points in a visual manner. The
following actions are currently available: Delete, Fade
In, Fade Out, Normalize, Top 'n' Tail, Volume Up/Down 10% and Undo. When using the waveform view, the cue points are
shown on the display and they can be moved either by dragging them or using
the normal +/- buttons.
- Fixed a
recurring issue that would leave files "locked" until you closed MyLibrary -
this would cause problems when trying to rename a played file.
- Revised
the Cart Chunk support - reading various Cart Chunks is now more intelligent
but you must specify which automation system you
are reading/writing cart chunks for, eg: EncoDAD, Myriad or RCS.
- Configuration Screen
- this allows you to make changes easier and offers a more
user-friendly way of getting going. Many options have a "tool-tip", so hover
your mouse over the settings to see some hints...
- The menus
have been overhauled and tidied-up - Most of the popular actions are now
available via "right-click"
These new
features and updates are available to existing users - just grab the latest
update ZIP. The waveform editor is a standard feature and does not require a Pro
licence. However, whilst un-registered - you will only be able to load files of
less than 3 minutes in duration into the editor.
8th November 2010 : no version
change
- Amended Myriad CSV (1 per file) template to include EndType, HookStart and HookEnd - this allows you to import those fields using

perform from the 5 checkboxes underneath the button
7th November
2010 : v2.44
- Increased
speed of Dalet XML output
Revised Dalet XML Output :
Added <yearComposed> node which allows proper import of a "Music" item
and shows the Year field correctly. <author> still shows the Year,
MyLibrary Category, Opener and EndType whilst <volumeNumber> denotes the
Opener property. This is enable Dalet fields to be visible in the BaseBrowser
and also to allow export of fields to Powergold via Browser32.
29th October
2010 : v2.43
- Added
Dalet .SND file support - including playback and filename interpretation
- Fixed
issue with RecordLabel field not being read from JMD File

20th October
2010 : v2.42
10th
October 2010 : v2.41
- Added
ALBUM field to EncoDAD DropBox import : Fills this field with the current date
YYYYMMDD HH:MM which allows the Enco CUT.dbf to be
sorted within MyLibrary for export of the most recent cuts.
6th October
2010 : v2.4
- Added <itemCode> node to Dalet XML output - This
enables you to use the MyLibrary Cart value as a
unique identifier when using Powergold and (Super) Impex to import your
schedules into Dalet.
25th
September 2010 : v2.39
- Added
configuration option to define the FadeOut position in Dalet. This offset
value will allow you to place a fade marker at <value> mS past the Xfade
position. For example, if the Xfade position was 1000 and the FadeOut option
was set to 250, the FadeOut would be placed at 1250mS.
[Dalet]
FadeOut=250
21st
September 2010 : v2.38
-
Added
menu action Export>Create Dalet XML Files - for use with the ACE Converter
by Trinity Software
Allows import of Artist, Title,
Year, CueIn (beginoffset), Intro, and Segue (xfade) fields into Dalet via the
ACE application.
PRO users only!
18th August
2010 : v2.37
- Added
menu action: Tools>APE/ID3/FLAC Tag
Functions>Save Composer Tag [PRO] which writes several fields to the
ID3 "Composer" field
(this is a pro feature requested
by a user)
- RCS XML
Export file always adds .wav to the GUID file regardless of the input file -
useful for FLAC/MP3 inputs
- Fixed
Myriad CSV "Advanced Tools" Export - Intro and Segue points are now
re-calculated taking into accound the CueIn value as "trimmed" files will
differ if a CueIn has been used. eg: If the CueIn is 5000 then the Intro would
have been placed 5 seconds AFTER the vocal and the Segue point 5 seconds AFTER
the file had finished!
13th August
2010 : v2.36
- Added
FLAC "lossless" support - you can now load .flac audio files, play them, save
FLAC tags and re-read them.
A new
version of FMOD is used - just place it into the MyLibrary folder. If you are
using the main Setup Installation, this is done for you.
- Added
Audio Device selection to INI file, insert this line into the [Audio] section of MyLibrary.ini: Device=-1
-1 is your default
Windows device. Use 0 , 1 , 2 etc if you have more.
- PSquared
Myriad CSV files now include AudioStart (CueIn) parameter which allows Myriad
to "trim" the audio during import. If you are using a WAV-based Audiowall and
are importing MP3 files - you MUST remove all APE/ID3 tags for this to work
properly.
- Added menu option: Tools>Remove APE and ID3 File Tags from
Files
Clears all APE, ID3v1 and ID3v2 file tags from MP3
files
- RCS XML
Update now saves accompanying JMD Data Files
- Added menu option: Export>Update RCS Selector XML
Files
Same as main RCS Selector export but does not copy any
audio - used to "slipstream" new data into existing GUID files.
11th August
2010 : v2.35
- Added EncoDADFadeTime to [EncoDAD] section of INI file
This new feature allows you to move the Tail Cue (aka:
EndTime) if the Segue point is more than the value of this setting from the
end of the actual file. This feature is useful when a song has a long fade and
attempting to use EncoDAD's Tracker will cause problems if the next item is
shorter than the difference between the song's Segue and End points. If you
want to disable this feature, simply set the default 4000 (ms) to a large
value such as 30000.
- All
features for "professional" systems are now "PRO" and require an additional
activation code
This means that users of EncoDAD, AutoTrack, Master Control, Myriad and Selector will need to purchase the Pro Upgrade for
£40. These options have been designed for several commercial users and, as
such, are not designed for "domestic" use!
- Added
export for AudioEnhanceDPS ID3 Tags and TON files - The TON method is
preferred!
- Replaced
the simple "input box" save prompts with the more standard "Save As" window

RCS Selector export option to Tools menu.
Please note that this is a
professional feature and requires an additional code to activate
Various RCS details are created in an accompanying XML
file: Artist, Title, CueIn, Intro, Segue, Hook Points plus of course the GUID
of the filename.
- Added Open Folder of Audio... to the "Open" menu - this
gives you a "Browse for Folder" dialog box and makes it easier to read a
folder that isn't in your Watch Folder dropdown list.
5th August
2010 : v2.32
- Fixed
annoying bug that would leave an audio track "in use" until you closed
MyLibrary
- File can
now be re-named after using the PFL player (relates to above bug)
- Added
EncoDAD USERDEF field to read/write function - mapped to the Comment field in MyLibrary
4th August
2010 : v2.31
2nd August
2010 : v2.3
Major new
version now includes the following features :
- Broadcast-standard Cart Chunk
tags are now supported - WAV files only
This aids import into playout systems such as EncoDAD,
Master Control, Myriad, Simian etc
There are 2 Cart Chunk profiles available under
Tools>Cart Chunk : Use EncoDAD Chunks , Use Myriad
Chunks
The Myriad chunk allows you to specify a
back/text colour as well as the end-type of the item.
If you find
the Cart Chunk features not working for your particular setup/playout system -
please contact me so that I can fix it.
31st July
2010 : v2.23
- Added an
INTRO filter option to the Export menu - will create a filtered view of tracks
within a specific intro range. Add the following to your MyLibrary.ini
file:
[Intros]
IntroLow=3000
IntroHigh=15000
Values are in MS and was added for a
user that wants to tag tracks with short vocal talkups to match sweepers and
dry liners in their scheduler.
- MyLibrary now remembers the size of the main window
between sessions
July 2010 :
No version change
- The
Modified column now displays the RecordDate from
an EncoDAD database making it easier to find new items in your playout
library.

selected files
18th July
2010 : v2.22
- Added
menu option: Export>Create List for ALL

tracks into multpile categories
- Added "Set Artist from List" button on SongCard - this
allows you to select/overrite the current Artist with one from your existing

or the right-click menu. Applies to main viewer list
only!
22nd
January 2010 : v2.14
- Amended
EncoDAD DropBox template to include MyLibrary's Cart field - allows you to
import the file as the cart number rather than DADS's next available cut
number. This is helpful if you have multiple systems using cart number and/or
have specific items in various "cart ranges".
- Revised
CartNo B* button: An empty CartNo value (with Clear
Existing Carts ticked) will erase ALL selected Cart values in the current
view.
- Added Advert Type and Account
Manager to the Song Card Editor. Type will be
used with AdMan, JockMaster and Meridian to determine the type of product/service
that the advert is for - allowing you to keep similar advertisers apart during
an ad-break.
13th

- Added
Export>EncoDAD DropBox files - this creates a .txt file alongside each
selected (main or filter view) piece of audio with valid DropBox import
fields.

Copy Files to... option - this will copy the selected files to a new location
(works in both main and filter views)
- Added
Tools>Create Related Artist List - this creates a text file which can be
used to populate the Related Artists list in the Song Editor. To use this
facility, ensure you have ALL your songs in the main view - click
Tools>Create Related Artist List and the list will be created. You can then
load it whilst editing song details if you need to add related artists to
other songs.
What Is A
Related Artist ?
Most of us
know that Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins are connected to the band Genesis. Of
course, a computer doesn't know this so you have to tell it by using Related
Artists which many schedulers support. Usually this is a "per item" field where
each song card contains a list of related artists. Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell
and the Spice Girls are another example of this.
You can
also use Related Artists when you have 2 artists collaborating on a track, ie:
Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton - Islands In The Stream. In this item's song card,
you would enter both Kenny Rogers AND Dolly Parton so that their own solo tracks
are kept away from this duet.
8th January
2010 : v2.12
- MyLibrary when loading a folder/M3U list - you can
determine whether MyLibrary reads the APE/ID3 tags, BCX data or JockMaster
data
- Added Populate List button for Related Artists: This will
load the drop-down box with all the Artists from the main viewer. The next
release will allow you to dump all Artists to an artist file which allows you to work on small list of
tracks (perhaps from a certain year) but also have access to your entire
Artist data. When populating the list, duplicates are ignored (save for your
spelling errors!).
- Main
view now has a right-click menu
- Added LastPlayed field to Song Card
- Changed
the way the Song Card loads the selected item's data: The data is re-read
either from the APE/ID3 tags, BCX data or JockMaster data as per the setting
under Tools on the main window. The Song Card caption will show the type of
data being read after the Artist/Title/Year info
This is
because not all the fields are displayed in the viewer columns
Because the
export routines only work with the existing viewer data - I propose to re-write
the export routines to re-read the tag/file data rather than a simple dump of
the column data. I expect this may slow down the export process (certainly with
APE/ID3 reading) but will do some tests and determine how best to
proceed.
6th January
2010 : v2.11
Although JockMaster (and Meridian Scheduler) will be able
to manipulate these files ad-hoc (as well as in bulk), I am putting this into
MyLibrary as a testing ground for the JMD format and to give you another tool to
play with! Please read the following text to understand
how this new addition works!
Plus some minor fixes...
4th January
2010 : v2.10
Minor fixes
including:
- Album
field now being stored in either APE/ID3v2 and/or BCX3 tags
- Preview
Player on main window now plays the correct file when using Filter View
- Filter
View has been fixed so you can now edit/save settings
- Flushed the audio player when attempting to save an
APE/ID3v2 file tag - in some situations this caused MyLibrary to create a
duplicate filename with a .mp3~ extension with the new data. As a result of
this, if you attempt to click "Save" when playing a track, MyLibrary will stop
the track first.
- ISRC
lookup - next to the ISRC field is a button marked "?" - clicking this will
load a small browser window that takes you to the PPL website and it will
attempt to search for the currently loaded track - The Artist and Title fields
must be filled in for this to work. You can then paste the correct ISRC number
into the MyLibrary field.
3rd January
2010 : v2.0
Major new
release!
The new
v2.0 version of MyLibrary features an improved layout, more management features
and a dedicated SongCard window (which will also feature on Meridian Scheduler
in due course). As well as the new look, the following features have been added
since v1.14:
- Added
additional AutoTrack and Myriad export routines - The AutoTrack CSV is used
during the the current filter (it is disabled on the global view) to export a
particular genre/style. Using this method you can import Audiowall carts into
multiple categories rather than use AutoTracks Audiowall browser/importer.
The new Myriad Importer CSV allows a list of files to be
created which the Myriad Import Wizard will read and import into it's
Audiowall. The "Ending" field (for some reason) doesn't appear to import so
I've left it out. I am unable to do much testing with the above features as
they were requested by a user and as they operate Myriad on a "real" radio
station it's hard to perform casual "tinkering" :-(
- Added
ISRC Catalogue Number - these details can be found on the PPL website
- Added
Related Artists which creates additional ARTIST2,
ARTIST3 etc fields in APE and BCX tags. This allows you to include
additional artists and solo performers which can then be exported and used as
part of a import template for a scheduler - making the hard work of entering
in related artists from scratch a thing of the past!
Registration
As this is
a major version change - your existing registration will not work. You must
apply for a new code (free to existing users). E-Mail me for a new code
;)
16th
December 2009 : v1.14
- Added
"Clear Existing Carts" option when bulking Cart Numbers. If left un-checked,
an existing Cart Number will be left intact. This may be useful if you already
have that particular item in your system.
- Fixed
bug with LARGE Cart Numbers
- Fixed
output headers on CSV File
10th
December 2009 : v1.13
- Added
"Cart" field to viewer (CartNo= in BCX file and CART field in APE tag)
- Added
Myriad Audiowall CSV Export
You may now
export a PSquared-compatible CSV file which you can use to slipstream your
Audiowall fileswith updated ARTIST,TITLE,DESCRIPTION,INTRO,SEGUE,END data. You
will need the Advanced Tools Pack which is anadditional PSquared purchase - as I
don't run Myriad here I cannot help too much with this this but the user who
requested it says it works very well ;)
This was
added because they wanted to import a large amount of audio into their playout
system. Using MyLibrary, they were able to set the IN/OUT points of each track
rather quickly. They then used the Cart Bulk button to set the (future) Cart
numbers of these items and exported the list to a CSV file. They ran the
importer in Myriad - then the Audiowall Update tool which then matched the
MyLibrary CSV file to the new Audiowall Carts and inserted the data
accordingly.
I advise a
full backup of your Myriad database should you wish to attempt such a
task!
The format
of the Myriad CSV is constructed as follows:
(the
timings are in seconds to 2 decimal places)
CartNo,ItemTitle,ArtistName1,Description,IntroEnd,Extro,Ending
1000,CHASING
PAVEMENTS,ADELE,2008,5.70,205.55,e
8th
December 2009 : v1.12
- Added
MyWAVFolder=C:\WAV SONGS (no trailing \) to the [Viewer] INI
This is where your linear files are stored - MyLibrary
will attempt to sync the details from your MP3 files to all matching WAV
files. The results will then be saved to a tab-delimted file which you can
then load in the usual way. Don't forget that WAV files do not currently
support APE tags - so you will only be able to use the BCX files with them or
maintain via the MyLibrary tab-delimited format.
4th
December 2009 : v1.11
- Added
"Verify Files" feature - a list is made of missing files (main view only)
- Made
filtered view sortable via fields (obvious mistake on my part!)
- Fixed
time displays in filtered view
30th
November 2009 : v1.1
- 5 minute
limit until registered
- New
XP-style buttons - check "Support Files" download for the OCX which you may
need
- Multi-select now enabled - Bulk set items if they are
selected (use CTRL-click to multi-select - SHIFT-click for large blocks)
- Added
ITEMTYPE and COMMENT fields
- Some
minor background tweaks
29th
November 2009 : v1.0 revision 110
- Program
is now a "paid-for" product and costs £10 for an activation key.
- Openers
are now "Normal" (was 0) and "Opener" (was -1). An option under "Tools" can
convert them for you.
28th
November 2009 : v1.0 revision 109
- Added
ability to create a BCX3 DB file for the folder of songs. This is a
time-saving feature as you no longer have to re-cache a ButtonBox to see the
new audio (a process that usually takes around 15 minutes on a folder of
12,000 songs!), not to rub it in - but my code does it in about 2 or 3 seconds
;)
27th
November 2009 : v1.0 revision 108
- Added
SeekPeriod (milliseconds) to INI File - allows you to alter the rewind/forward
seek values
- Revised
mAirList MMD CueIn detection
26th
November 2009 : v1.0 revision 107
- Bulk set
properties
- Various
properties can now be "bulk set"
25th
November 2009 : v1.0 revision 106
- Default
tags are now APE with limited (ie: simple) ID3v2 tags. This now means full
compatibility with StationPlaylist. ID3v2 tags supported: Artist, Title, Year,
Genre, Composer (Gender), Track
- MP3Tag
can also be used to read APE tags, just set the Tag options in the config
- The
speed of APE/ID3 tag reading/writing has thus been increased by about 2x ;)
- Artist+Titles can now be read from the filename of your
audio track: You MUST adhere to the following format "ARTIST - TITLE.mp3"
Basically, it's space-hyphen-space as a delimited between
Artist and Title ;)
24th
November 2009 : v1.0 revision 105
- Added
password to program - contact me for a password and key for removal (once out
of beta, this feature will be removed)
23nd

- Added
mAirList MMD (XML) Support
