Introducing 'Spun' - a song info grabber that works with Traktor
Posted on: 06.08.2012 by Rosina Steinkuehler
Hello everyone!

I am happy to introduce my first Native OSX application "Spun".

Spun runs in the background working with Traktor's broadcast mode and grabs the track name and the time that the track is played.

So now when you release a mixtape you can include a text file that shows the tracks in the mix AND the time the song is starting to fade in.

To setup Traktor for Spun visit the broadcast settings area and change (in Traktor settings / broadcast):

IP Address = localhost
Port = 8008
Proxy = None

Launch Spun and then click the Broadcast icon inside Traktor.

Start playing your tunes and when done click Save in Spun.

Download Spun here and let me know what you believe!

Sample Spun output (from a friends collection):

OK - I'll add a preferences pane where you can basically move around the items like this:

{tracknum} - {artist} - {title} \n

Then folks can format it however they like

@edparis: Wish I had a solution for external users.

He is a blog reader but not a community user. I'll ping him and find out if he recorded it - originally it was done on mixify!

I found a bug where some song authors are null but the track names come through. I'll fix that tomorrow and get a new version up.

Thanks everyone for the interest!

PS: I am going to add recording support so you can use this instead of Traktor to record mp3's via LAME and have the track names appear!

Thanks everyone! Has anyone tried Spun out yet?

I got a report of it stalling after the first song and wondering if I introduced a bug....
