Import XMCD 1.2 [MM2+3]

by **~Maxx** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 11:23 pm

Just an FYI. A friend of mine (at my request, and with the authors permission) has written a modified version of this script titled "Import XMCD Plus". It includes some rather handy refinements. I have posted it here in case anyone else is interested in using it.

I'm getting the same runtime error as above for certain xmcd files from freedb.org. Here is the most recent...

Code: Select all

# xmcd CD Database Entry

DTITLE=Pink Floyd - Wish you were here
DYEAR=
DGENRE=
TTITLE0=Shine you Crazy Diamond (Part I)
TTITLE1=Welcome To The Machine
TTITLE2=Have a Cigar
TTITLE3=Wish You Were Here
TTITLE4=Shine you Crazy Diamond (Part II)
EXTD=
EXTT0=
EXTT1=
EXTT2=
EXTT3=
EXTT4=
PLAYORDER=

I noticed that in the above xmcd file the artist and album title are separated by a "-", while in other xmcd files (which work properly with this script) these values are separated by a "/". I am not a coder by any stretch of the imagination - but I see that the term "left" in this script seems to refer to which side of the "/" the album artist is located on. So in order to fix things I could edit a line in the xmcd file from "DTITLE=Pink Floyd - Wish you were here" to "DTITLE=Pink Floyd / Wish you were here". Though this "case-by-case" solution is not quite as efficient as something the script author could come up with - it does work in a pinch. Really - the problem is that freedb.org does not have a rock solid standard for their xmcd files.

Something to watch out for...

Can you post the file contents of the file you were trying to import?

Hi,

I just installed the script and am getting the following errors:

First error dialogue:

Error #5 - VBScript runtime error
Invalid procedure call or argument: 'Left'
File "C:\Program Files(x86)\Mediamonkey\Scripts\ImportXMCD.vbs",Line:56, Column:12

Close the above then get:

Error happened during script execution:
Invalid procedure call or argument: 'Left'

I looked in the script and the 'Left' procedure is at that location. And Left is a valid VBScript procedure, so I don't know what the problem is. I was importing an xmcd from Freedb.

regards,
Stephen

An MM3 installation package is now available from my website for this script.

New version (1.2) is now available to download from my website. I have fixed the fact that the track details does not need to contain an artist name, so if it's doesn't then the album artist name is used.

Hi,

I would like to say a big thank you to trixmoto for looking into this.

There's a bit more to add to it yet though, so 'hold you horses'

New version (1.1) is now available to download from my website. Changes include...

- Fixed xmcd files don't necessarily have that extension

This is a script that has been requested...

The script imports .xmcd files created by FreeDB, and creates the tracks within your MM library. For more details of the file format, see here.

As always, the installer is available from my website.
