Post Traktor-playlists automatically to a dedicated site -> blessing or gimmick?

[Awesomer]

It saves playlists automatically as text-files in the new version.

last.fm-support will come in the next update after the initial release.

I still get the metadata via emulating an Icecast-Server or attaching the Scrobbler as a listener to an already running server.

Can I vote for saving those "text-files" as tab-seperated-values? This should support all character sets and make for easy loading into for example excel spreadsheet or SQL databases.

Glad to hear about the last.fm support, not sure what language you are writing in but there are pretty good last.fm clients for many languages these days so it's probably just a matter of hooking it into your app.

Sucks that Traktor only makes that meta-info available via the streaming interface, but it is a nice hack that you have been able to use that. If you look on Last.fm, there are definitely plenty of ppl who want this feature..

I use C++ (on Windows MSVC-compiler on OSX gcc).

Currently the playlist-files are in a set format, but I'll make it customizable in a later version.

Since Twitter uses a similar authorization mechanism I wrote my own oAuth-implementation. This can be used as well for Last.fm.

I like the idea of your project and can't wait to try it out... nothing more to say really

The big priority for me is scrobbling to last.fm, because I want to keep track of how many times I dj certain tracks, and I want to easily be able to add info about songs I "discover" in the mix in traktor to my last.fm playlists and tags groups.

I know you are already working on this but this is the element I would most appreciate for the same reasons.

I think it would be usefull for DJ Sets posted on soundcloud.
The tracklist should have a tag about the minute that has played first and the trackname could appear on the soundclod at the right minute...

Is that possible? Would be very useful to me

You'd want to create timed comments on Soundcloud on a certain set by using this data? Did I get that right?

[photojojo]

That's the way I read it. Is that even possible?

[Afterhour Ali]

Not without some really dirty hacking. I just looked it up.

I'll ask the Soundcloud-guys though. Let's see if they like the idea.

EDIT: asked them. Let's see what they respond. Anyway this would add some complexity to the tool but be a very cool feature. I'd have to at least support Mixcloud as well.

+1 for this feature -- that would be really cool!

Would you prefer to upload both, liveset and playlist with Traktor Scrobbler in that case?
