HELP : Auto. Script for ID3 tags

I have songs named in Chinese.
I tried everything but iTunes never learnt how to read them.
Anyways I have a new strategy, since all my mp3 files are named in this
format : " 'ARTIST' - 'SONG' "
for ex. if I have a mp3 file:
" Ken - My Song.mp3 "
ID3 Artist : Ken , Title: My Song
I want the computer to recognize this format in the filename and change the ID3 automatically. Maybe by copy & pasting or whatever.
This way, all my songs will be readable and no more converting between unicode or whatever.
I know this can be done through Automator or some other program.
But I have n0 knowledge in programming. Can anyone tell me where I could find an answer?
Thanks and Regards

I believe that in order for your deck to show this info, the RF transmitter used has to receive the info and transmit it. If Creative supported sending the info to transmitters, perhaps the transmitter manufacturers would support the transmission.
I've heard that Creative, Microsoft and several others are working on a standard connector to digitally transfer music, UI, and control of devices to car decks for all non-iPod devices. This would be even better. Has anyone else heard of this?

2 Scripts Needed - ID3 tags & Converting

pretty much a newbie when it comes to this, so bear with me...
i have a music download site (legal) and every time a label sends us CDs, we load the tracks into I-Tunes, convert them to MP3s 320 and 192, Then we create a play list, drag all the MP3s into i-tunes and one by one copy and paste the track information from a metatag excel spreadsheet that they supply us with all the info... artist, title, track name, genre, etc...
though time consuming, it's worked out fine because it gives us the ability to make sure everything appears uniform when downloaded. We can correct typos etc....
Today i got a 1 terabyte drive from a label with 500 folders totaling over 4000 wavs.
i think we have grown now to the point where we should look into automating some of these things... from what i can figure out, there should be 2 scripts... one to convert all the WAVS to mp3s, and then one to attach art and metatag info to the ID3 tag. It would also need to change the file name to something, which i guess could be a field entered on the Excel spreadsheet. All the ID3 tag info is in that document already anyway.
again, this is kind of new to me, but i certainly don't want to do this all by hand. If any scripts could be recommended or if someone thinks they can make a script, i'd love some help!
10 bonus points if you also know a script that will make sound clips! again, we do that all manually... starting about 25% into the track and lasting 45 - 60 seconds depending on the length of the track. Again, seems to me like an easy script, but i dont know the first thing about doing scripts, nor how to find someone to help me...
hence my post

You might want to try Doug's Scripts. I think it's www.dougscripts.com but I'm not at home so I don't have the link. A search for "doug's scripts" usually turns it up pretty quickly. It's a great source of scripts for iTunes for Macs.
Best of luck.

New Script for PE Tags-- iPhoto keywords

I haven't tried it yet, but there's a new script for getting your Windows PE tags into iPhoto as keywords. Use the Write Tags to File command in PE first.
http://scriptbuilders.net/files/iphotoiptckeywordimportexportutilities1.0.html

Oh, whoops, I just posted this in the Technical forum before I came here. Never sure which one to use.
This looks like the script a lot of folks were looking for.

Need help creating script for specific instance

I am having trouble coming up with a working script for this part of the pricing form I am editing. I am trying to get the calculation fields to the right to change and populate in the respective field based on the selection in the Material Type dropdown. Would it be less of a headache if I made another text field to calculate the LE versions separately instead of trying to merge them into one field? I have attached screenshots below to give you an example of what I'm working with. Any help with this is greatly appreciated!
Script I'm tinkering with at the moment:
//Dropdown37 = Quantity Field
//Type of Door IB = Material Type dropdown
var x = this.getField("Type of Door IB").value;
if ( x = 1468 ) event.value = x * this.getField("Dropdown37").value;
if (x = 1202) event.value = x * this.getField("Dropdown37").value;
else event.value = 0;

The comparison operator in JS is "==", so change this line:
if ( x = 1468 )
To this:
if ( x == 1468 )
(as well as the other if-statement).

A script for adding Tags based on search result

Hello all fellow faithfuls of InDesign!
I am looking at a challenge with my very basic (near to none) experience of scripting, that goes like this:
I need a script that could search through my story/selection and look for patterns (such as four digits in a row, basic RegEx stuff) and add a specific Tag-element with some specific attributes and given values that would be taken from the found pattern.
EXAMPLE: (Searching the text below)
Product 7352 price 23,60
Now the script would find: 7352 and tag it [7352] and give it attributes like RecordID = 7352 and Field = PRODUCTNR
For the price it would find the 23,60 and give it the same RecordID = 7352 and Field = PRICE.
How would I approach something like this?

Hi AshishK15,
Base on your code, I think the exception is threw in the code of Selection.Paragraphs(i).Range.Select.
For your code, you are getting the all paragraphs of the document (iParCount), however you are using the Selection object to get all paragraphs, which is incorrect unless you select the whole document content.
So, please modify the Selection to ActiveDocument.
For i = 1 To iParCount
ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(i).Range.Select
If ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(i).Range.ListParagraphs.Count = 1 Then
MsgBox ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(i).Range.ListFormat.ListLevelNumber
MsgBox ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(i).OutlineLevel
End If
Next

Need help writing script for Digital DAQ

Hello,
I am trying to write an aquisition program for digital input coming from a hall sensor. I will be passing a magnet over a hall sensor on a motor and want to record the number of rotations. I have pasted together a script based on various websites, but it isn't functioning the way I want. I would like to be able to collect data points indefinately, or fixed, and then print out the resulting count. I have attepted to use the ctypes wrapper in Python. The NI functions remain unchanged though, so if you don't know Python it shouldn't be a problem to read. I am using a NI PCI-6503.
NI PCI-6503
NI PCI-6503
NI PCI-6503
The code:
# C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\DAQmx ANSI C\Analog In\Measure Voltage\Acq-Int Clk\Acq-IntClk.c
import ctypes
import numpy
nidaq = ctypes.windll.nicaiu # load the DLL
# Setup some typedefs and constants
# to correspond with values in
# C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\DAQmx ANSI C Dev\include\NIDAQmx.h
# the typedefs
int32 = ctypes.c_long
uInt32 = ctypes.c_ulong
uInt64 = ctypes.c_ulonglong
float64 = ctypes.c_double
TaskHandle = uInt32
# the constants
DAQmx_Val_ChanForAllLines = int32(0)
def CHK(err):
"""a simple error checking routine"""
if err < 0:
buf_size = 200
buf = ctypes.create_string_buffer('\000' * buf_size)
nidaq.DAQmxGetErrorString(err,ctypes.byref(buf),buf_size)
raise RuntimeError('nidaq call failed with error %d: %s'%(err,repr(buf.value)))
# initialize variables
taskHandle = TaskHandle(0)
max_num_samples = 1000
# array to gather points
data = numpy.zeros((max_num_samples,),dtype=numpy.float64)
# now, on with the program
CHK(nidaq.DAQmxCreateTask("",ctypes.byref(taskHandle)))
CHK(nidaq.DAQmxCreateDIChan(taskHandle,'Dev1/port1/line1',"", DAQmx_Val_ChanForAllLines))
CHK(nidaq.DAQmxStartTask(taskHandle))
read = int32()
CHK(nidaq.DAQmxReadDigitalU32(taskHandle,int32(-1),float64(1),DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel,data.ctypes.data,max_num_samples,ctypes.byref(read),None))
print "Acquired %d points"%(read.value)
if taskHandle.value != 0:
nidaq.DAQmxStopTask(taskHandle)
nidaq.DAQmxClearTask(taskHandle)
print "End of program, press Enter key to quit"
raw_input()
This script returns "Acquired 1 points" immediately, regardless of how many times the hall sensor has been switched.
I apologize for the sloppy code, but I understand very little of the underlying principles of these DAQ functions, despite reading their documentation. Seeing as how the code does not return an error, I am hoping there is just a minor tweak or two that will be farily obvious to someone with more experience.
Thanks

Hey Daniel,

Shortcuts or Scripts for repetitive tagging tasks

Are there any scripts that I can attach to an icon in a toolbar to click just once to make remediating tagging less arduous? I'm constantly selecting an item, clicking on the >Options menu then click on the >Find selection from tag. Would love to assign this to a keyboard shortcut or click one icon. Or what do you know that I don't? I'm exhausted, my hand hurts, and I have hundreds of pages to go. Should I hire a programmer to do this? ACRObuttons was a hope but they're dead. Thanks so much, Community.

You can automate a few document-wide things using an Action Wizard, for example set reading language, set tab order property, create bookmarks from structure, set open options, embed fonts using Preflight. I do not know of a way to automate tag remediation.

Need Help with scripting for Automator/AppleScript.

Hi everybody,
I am building a small app for my mac, What I need is a script that can rename a file that I drop on it.
and example being:
example.jpg
(when I drop it on the app, I want the app to change the filename of the document to "Image.jpg"
I have tried this with Automator, but it requires that I specify the file to be changed, what I need is something that will change the name of any file I drag onto it.
I am using it for application specific files.
Kind regards,
Pete.
iBook G4; 60GB Hard Drive, 512MB RAM, Airport Extreme

Open the Script Editor in the
/Applications/AppleScript/ folder and enter the
following:
on open(the_file)
tell application "Finder"
set name of the_file to "Image"
end tell
end open
Save this script as an application.
(11347)
this script compiled correctly; however when run it returned the following error "Can't set name of (the_file) to "Image.jpg"
I am also given the option of editing the script or just quitting.
thanks for your help

Hi,
please check SDK sample 22 Right-Click, there is everything you need.
First catch RightClickEvent, then create the menu entry when beforeAction = true, and when beforeAction = false you have to remove it again (otherwise you will receive an error when rightclicking again).

You probably want to wrap your code samples with a tag. It looks like some of the script text is not showing up.

Help with script for "Import AD users from CSV with checks first"

Hi everyone.
Can anyone tell me if i am on the right track here?
I want to be able to provide a CSV with users and import into a new AD domain/forest. But i know there already are some AD accounts so i need to run some checks. For now i am checking only on Name and Email.
The issue i have is is with "write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user.". It outputs this 19 times which is the same amount of times as there are users in AD in this OU.
Not sure if my method is right.
$allImportedUsers=@()
$allUsersArray=@()
$searchbase="OU=PL,DC=EUECS,DC=CORP,DC=ARROW,DC=COM"
$path = "OU=Users,OU=PL,DC=EUECS,DC=CORP,DC=ARROW,DC=COM"
$allImportedUsers = Import-CSV polandusers_edited.csv
$allUsersArray = Get-ADObject -LDAPFilter "objectClass=User" -SearchBase $searchbase -Properties * | select *
$allImportedUsers | ForEach-Object {
$Firstname = $_.givenname
$Lastname = $_.surname
$UserMail = $_.EmailAddress
$UserFullName = $Firstname+" "+$Lastname
$importUserSAM = $_.Samaccountname
$allUsersArray | ForEach-Object {
$currUserFirstname = $_.givenName
$currUserLastname = $_.sn
$currUserMail = $_.mail
$currUserFullName = $_.name
$currUserSAM = $_.samaccountname
$currUserDN = $_.DistinguishedName
if($currUserFullName -eq $UserFullName) {
write-host "CSV $UserFullName matched on name"
$userMatched=1
if($currUserMail -eq $UserMail -AND $userMatched -ne 1) {
write-host "CSV $UserFullName matched on email"
$userMatched=1
if($userMatched -ne 1) {
write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user."
$userMatched=0
If only i had a cool signature!! ;)

Move below to outside the inner for-each loop:
if($userMatched -ne 1) {
write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user."
$userMatched=0
so the bottom should look like
}if($userMatched -ne 1) {
write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user."
$userMatched=0

Missing ID3 Tags

Is there an open-source app or one that supports PPC Macs that helps you fix missing ID3 tag data? ITunes 7 is amazing with the new search engine + cool UI to quickly pick the album of your choice.... HOWEVER, I have no use for this since some dork totally cleaned out my ID3 tags. I was able to use a software to convert filenames into ID3 tags that supply the Artist and Song title only. I'm in desperation to find a way to retrieve album information so I could use this new iTunes 7 feature. Is there another way than manually encoding album data on EVERY FILE? There's gotta be an app somewhere that picks artist and song data and hook up to a server database that checks for possible matches. I saw this article on MusicBrainz Tagger.... but I don't see support for Mac. Just Linux and Windows.

Hmmm... took a look and downloaded one of Doug's Scripts... It's the CDDB Safari Kit composed of two scripts.... the problem is: In order to get album info. you need to have all MP3s of the album... you need to sort this in the right order before the script will work well for you. What I'm hoping to see is that if I have just one MP3 track, I should be able to get the missing/wrong tag infos I need by just supplying the artist and song title to the script. I see a lot of Windows tools for this... I wonder if there's one for the Mac.

ID3 tags - I can't be the only one

iTunes 7.7.0.43, fully patched XP Pro SP3. "M:" drive on file server contains 4500 songs. Full read/write access.
ID3 tags simply do not work in iTunes. I have "Convert ID3 Tags..."'d to "None" dozens of times for the whole library and have attempted to "Convert ID3 Tags..." to ID3vanything without them actually being written to the file itself.
iTunes reports "None" on the info screen for ID3 tags after several hours of it supposedly converting tags.
I have invested a large amount of time in ensuring the iTunes library itself is accurate and would like to carry over the information in the library to the MP3s themselves via ID3.
After many searches I've found split results. Some people never have an issue with iTunes writing ID3 tags, others like myself have never gotten this to work. I will whip up a script to read the XML library and batch a program to update the tags outside of iTunes, but "Convert ID3 Tags..." is not a new choice and it is supposed to do what I'm looking for.
What gives?

Welcome to the discussions!
Has Apple repaired your MB this last time so that it does work properly? I ask this not to be flippant, but out of curiosity. If it is repaired and working properly, then Apple has no reason to replace it.
It is likely that if your MB needs a fourth repair that it would be replaced. An optical drive and case replacements are fairly striaghtforward repairs and not indicative of a completely faulty unit like a bad logic board or LCD would be.
If your MB does require another repair, I would call AppleCare and escalate it to a second tier representative. They have more authority to make exceptions and issue replacements than a first tier rep would have.
