Can I make VDJ make a "CUE" file every time I play??
I want VDJ to make a cue file every time I play whether or not I'm recording.
My reason for this is, When I stream Ill some times go back and upload the mix to Mixcloud. But I then I have to look up the history and play the mix back and then go back to Mixcloud and type everything in. It can be a tedious process.
So can this be done??

tracklist.text could be formatted in a way that would be very close to a .cue file.
All it would take is some pretty easy formatting choices, then you'd just have to strip out the (real world)timestamp once recorded, and it would be fit to copy paste into a .cue file.

Ok how do I find said file please?
I can deal with the stripping it out but the having to play back the mix, type out artists/title and then the time is a real pain lol
EDIT....
Found it and Thanks Loco
Still wish it was a cue file tho, then I can just drag and drop it in.

yeah the wish is valid
here's the formatting for the setting tracklistFormat that will get you very close.
you'll need to start the stopwatch when you start broadcasting
you'll also to increment TRACK NUM, and take out the real timestamp manually when copying the text
After that formatting this is what tracklist.txt is outputting, not perfect but best that can be done without a plugin, I could do a windows plugin, it would just mean copying over your history file from mac(guess you use mac mostly for performance) to windows machine and it could knock out a perfect .cue file

\n TRACK 01 AUDIO\n TITLE "%titleremix"\n PERFORMER "%author"\n INDEX 01 `stopwatch`

just a thought, powershell is platform independent, maybe I could write something for that to keep it all on your mac.
...maybe, I know it could do most of it and guess it could do the rest.
