Hi,

Within the myriad macro commands, there are facilities to copy and move carts (the AUDIOWALL COPY NNNN,NNNN command)

Is there an equivalent way to rename a cart - i.e. change the song title field - either from within the macro processor, or some other command line/batch tool?

Hi Bruce,

I can't think of a way to do it with scripts - but whats the scenario - we may be able to come up with a different way?

I have a batch of carts - a couple of hundred - where we need to make a trivial edit to the cart description. Firing up Smoothedit a couple of hundred times is not an enticing prospect....

Hmm... that is a tricky one - If it was the Title or Artist, then you could use the Mass changed in AutoTrack, but the description line doesn't have a mass changer. You could possibly do something by exporting the items as transport files and then using AutoImporter to re-import with a Description Override - though you would probably want to test it a fair bit first!

Thanks,

I may re-visit my original plan and mangle the titles/artists :-)

If I knew were this particular data was stored in the sql database, I could approach it from that direction - yes, I know that’s completely unsupported :-)

Any clues?

Sorry, cart descriptions aren't in the DB - the are stored in the LST files for backwards compatibility Sad
