libdjinterop is a C++ library that allows access to database formats used to
store information about DJ record libraries.
This library currently supports:
- Engine Library, as used on "Prime"-series DJ equipment.
The library is currently in an early beta stage, and not all features are implemented yet. It currently supports only the Engine Library format.
What is supported:
- Track metadata
- Beat grids
- Hot cues
- Loops
- Waveforms (overview and high-resolution)
- Crates
The library supports the following firmware and application versions:
- SC5000 Firmware from 1.0.3 to 3.4.0.
- Other players (e.g. SC6000/M) may work, but this is currently untested.
- Engine DJ Desktop (aka Engine Prime) from 1.0.1 to 3.4.0.
What is not supported (yet):
- Album art
- Playlists
- Play history
- Engine Library formats associated with other firmware versions
- DJ record libraries in formats other than Engine Prime
The library is not ready for prime-time yet, but if you are willing to read
source code, example applications can be found in the example directory.
libdjinterop requires the following compile-time dependencies:
To run unit tests, the following are required:
libdjinterop uses CMake. Assuming you have the above
dependencies in place, and the build tools, you can issue the following
commands:
$ mkdir cmake_build
$ cd cmake_build
$ cmake ..
$ cmake --build .
$ ctest # To run unit testsWhen Nix is installed, then you don't need to manually install any dependencies. In order to drop into a development environment with dependencies available, execute:
$ nix-shellYou can then build libdjinterop by as described above.
libdjinterop makes use of a number of software libraries, and is extremely
grateful for:
Interfacing with the Engine Library database format was made a lot easier with the help of MixMasterG from ATGR, who is the author of the Denon Conversion Utility.
