[Pykaraoke-discuss] CD+G CD image mastering tool nearly finished

[William Ferrell]

Hey guys,

Just to throw a quick teaser out there, I thought I'd mention I've got that tool I'd talked about to convert CDG+MP3/OGG to a cdrdao-compatible CD image and TOC/cue sheet mostly finished. The only "feature" left to implement is automatically handling archive files (ZIP archives, tarballs, etc.) with the CDG+MP3 or CDG+OGG pairs in them. If you have just sets of files (not archives), it appears to work fine now. Oh, it's also not able to do "raw" images -- it can only produce "cooked" ones currently (which my recorder happens to support :) since I haven't tried to get my brain wrapped around the "deinterlacing" voodoo cdgrip.py does to go from a RW_RAW CD+G track to split audio and CDG data. It may also need an option to toggle whether conversion to big-endian is required (it is required on x86 platforms and AMD64, but not on big-endian architectures) for the sound data.

I've burned a CD it generated tonight and I'll test it at tonight's karaoke show. If it works on that standalone player, I'll send along v0.1-pre1 of cdg2bin :)
