StreamSolutions CDS Title Support
 

If you have put together a long mp3/aac+ file and want the title to change when the track changes in the mix this is the feature for you. You can use one of two methods to change the title at different times through the mix.

Method one - Simple text file support.

When you upload a track you can also upload a file with the same name but have a .txt suffix.

Example you upload track1.mp3 and also upload track1.txt

The txt file should contain the time, in minutes and seconds, along with the title to change to.

The format of the txt file is as follows "time","title to change to" You can have as many lines as you need and it will change the title on the server when it reaches the appropriate time.

An example entry would be

"00:00","first title to use for the mix"
"10:00","ten minute title for the track"
"30:30","thirty minute 30 second title for the track"

Using this method for title updates ignores any ID3 tags put into files.

Method 2 - Cuefile Support

You can upload a cue file with the same filename as the track, but with suffix .cue.

A cuefile has specific format of

PERFORMER "MyArtist"
TITLE "VeryLongTrack"
FILE "Music - Hello"
TRACK 01
AUDIO TITLE "This is the first track"

PERFORMER "IamGreat"
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02
AUDIO TITLE "Show Me Forgiveness"

PERFORMER "Bjork"
INDEX 01 03:25:05
TRACK 03
AUDIO TITLE "The Green Door"

PERFORMER "Shakin Stevens"
INDEX 01 04:49:14
TRACK 04
AUDIO TITLE "The Green Door"

Available attributes that can be used in the .cue file are

PERFORMER
TITLE
ARRANGER
COMPOSER
GENRE
ISRC
MESSAGE
SONGWRITER
UPC_EAN

It is slightly more complex than the first method however many programs do generate cue files automatically. Using this method for title updates ignores any ID3 tags put into files.
