- TrackReader reads a list of tracks from a specified tsv or csv file given by
input - After compiling a list of tracks, it'll write the tracks in-order to the given
output, spaced out by an associated start-time - Each track needs a start-time in timecode format, specified by the
Timecolumn - The app will read the list, determine the run-time for each track based on the associated
Timecolumn andFrameratepassed when starting the cli, and write to theoutputin order according to theNumbercolumn and track run-time. - You can manually control the current track with customizable global hotkeys
- You can customize the format of the output
- May need to run with heightened permissions, eg as administrator for global hotkeys
- The
outputfile will be overwritten of any contents at regular intervals
The appsettings.json provides defaults to the app. Any options passed to the cli will override the associated config found in appsettings.json.

}startafter reading theinput, the app will wait until this hotkey is pressed to start playing the track-list, this hotkey is optional, and if set to nothing will automatically start playing the track-list as soon as it's readynextmanually starts the next track in the track-list, optionalpreviousmanually goes back a track in the track-list, optional
"hotkeys": {
"start": "Up",

}Hotkeys can be set to key combinations or single key presses in appsettings.json The syntax is the name of the key found in the windows forms keys enum.
For example, "Next": "Alt+Control+N" would skip to the next track when holding Alt+Control key modifiers, and pressing N. "Previous": "P" would go to the previous track when pressing P.
An example of appsettings.json, this configuration will use tracks.csv as the input, and apply a framerate of 24 when calculating track run-time. It'll output to output.txt
and every track will output as Title - Artist, eg, Could This Be - Noisia. The Up arrow key will start the track list. Right and Left arrow keys offers manual control of the current
track being played.

}- column data whitespace is trimmed, so don't worry about extra whitespace
- comments are supported,
#, full-line comments must start with# - each of the columns below are required
- the track list will be sorted by
Track number - extra columns that don't conflict will simply be ignored, so you can add any extra columns
- the first line must be the header
