int NJB_Delete_Track (njb_t *njb, u_int32_t trackid)

This deletes a track from the device.

Parameters: njb a pointer to the njb_t jukebox object to use

trackid the track ID for the track to delete

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure

Examples: deltr.c.

This configures libnjb to retrieve extended tags from the device. For the NJB1 this is the default behaviour anyway so it need not be set, but for the series 3 devices, retrieving the extended tag information is a costly operation that will slow down the initial track scanning by orders of magnitude and irritate the user. Make sure end-users can configure whether they want to use this or not.

The extended tags will include things like the filename and folder that the file used on the host before it was transfered to the device.

Parameters: njb a pointer to the njb_t object to set this mode for

extended use 0 for non-exetended tags (default), 1 for extended tags

Examples: tracks.c.

This retrieves ('uploads') a track from the device to the host computer.

Parameters: njb a pointer to the njb_t object to get the track from

fileid the unique trackid (also known as file ID, they are the same things) as reported by the device from e.g. NJB_Get_Track_Tag().

size the size of the track in bytes. You know this size from previous calls to NJB_Get_Track_Tag() and it is needed among other things for displaying a progress bar and for determining that all bytes have been correctly retrieved.

path the path where the resulting file should be written. If this parameter is null, the blocks are delivered via the callback's buf parameter.

callback a function that will be called repeatedly to report progress during transfer, used for e.g. displaying progress bars

data a voluntary parameter that can associate some user-supplied data with each callback call. It is OK to set this to NULL of course.

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure

See also: NJB_Get_Track_fd()

Examples: gettr.c.

This retrieves ('uploads') a track from the device to the host computer by way of a file descriptor, which is good for e.g. streaming stuff. The daring type can start playing back audio from the file descriptor before it is finished. This is also good for fetching to temporary files, which are often only given as file descriptors.

Parameters: njb a pointer to the njb_t object to get the track from

fileid the unique trackid (also known as file ID, they are the same things) as reported by the device from e.g. NJB_Get_Track_Tag().

size the size of the track in bytes. You know this size from previous calls to NJB_Get_Track_Tag() and it is needed among other things for displaying a progress bar and for determining that all bytes have been correctly retrieved.

fd the file descriptor that shall be fed with the track contents. The file descriptor must be writable. On win32 make sure it is a binary descriptor and not textual.

callback a function that will be called repeatedly to report progress during transfer, used for e.g. displaying progress bars

data a voluntary parameter that can associate some user-supplied data with each callback call. It is OK to set this to NULL of course.

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure

See also: NJB_Get_Track()

This gets a track tag (song ID) from the device. The device should first be rewound using the NJB_Reset_Get_Track_Tag() function.

Notice that there is no function for getting the tag for a single track, there is just this function that dumps out the entire database in one big go. The recommended approach is to keep an internal track cache of all tracks and use this for getting metadata for single tracks. There is as far as we know no function in the Creative firmwares for getting the metadata of a single track, so access through this function is the only option.

Parameters: njb a pointer to the njb_t object to reset the track retrieveal pointer for

Returns: a track tag (song ID) or NULL if the last track tag has already been retrieved

See also: NJB_Reset_Get_Track_Tag()

Examples: gettr.c, and tracks.c.

This routine will replace the track tag or parts of a track tag for a track that already exist on the device. On the NJB1 the whole metadata set must be specified for this routine to work properly, but on the series 3 devices you can specify incremental updates (only parts of the metadata set). Be sure to either specify the full set all the time, or check if we are handling an NJB1 before submitting an incremental update (see example below).

Parameters: njb a pointer to the jukebox object to use

trackid the track ID to replace the tag for

songid the new tag

Typical usage:

njb_t *njb; njb_songid_t *songid; njb_songid_frame_t *frame;

 songid = NJB_Songid_New();
 // On NJB1 incremental update is not possible, so a full
 // metadata set must always be specified.

 // as progress indicators will stop working. If you absolutely want to
 // upload a file of unknown length and break progress indicators, set
 // length to 1 second.
 frame = NJB_Songid_Frame_New_Length(1);
 NJB_Songid_Addframe(songid, frame);
 // This one is optional, the track will survive without it.
 frame = NJB_Songid_Frame_New_Filename('Foo.mp3');
 NJB_Songid_Addframe(songid, frame);
 if (NJB_Replace_Track_Tag(njb, 123456, songid) == -1) {
    NJB_Error_Dump(stderr);
 }
 NJB_Songid_Destroy(songid);
 

Examples: tagtr.c.

This resets the track tag (song ID) retrieveal function. The track tags can then be retrieved one by one using the NJB_Get_Track_Tag() function.

Typical usage:

njb_t *njb; njb_songid_t *song;

 NJB_Songid_Reset_Get_Track_Tag(n);
 while ( (song = NJB_Get_Track_Tag(n)) != NULL ) {
    // Do something with all the songs...
 }
 

Parameters: njb a pointer to the njb_t object to reset the track retrieveal pointer for

See also: NJB_Get_Track_Tag()

     NJB_Error_Dump(stderr);
 }
 NJB_Songid_Destroy(songid);
 

Parameters: njb a pointer to the njb_t object to send the track file to.

songid the tag for this track, which has to be built separately before the transfer is started with a call to this function.

callback a function that will be called repeatedly to report progress during transfer, used for e.g. displaying progress bars. This may be NULL if you don't want any callbacks.

data a voluntary parameter that can associate some user-supplied data with each callback call. It is OK to set this to NULL of course.

trackid a pointer to an integer that will hold the resulting track ID after this transfer has commenced successfully.

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure

See also: NJB_Send_File()

Examples: sendtr.c.

This adds a song ID frame to a song ID.

Parameters: song the song ID to add the frame to

frame the frame to add to this song ID

Examples: sendtr.c, and tagtr.c.

This destroys an entire song ID structure and free the memory used by it.

Parameters: songid the song ID structure to destroy

Examples: gettr.c, sendtr.c, tagtr.c, and tracks.c.

This locates a particular song ID frame inside a song ID, by using the textual label given.

Parameters: song the song ID to look in

label the textual label of the frame to look for

Returns: the song ID frame if found, else NULL

Examples: gettr.c.

This destroys a song ID frame and free any memory used by it.

Parameters: frame the song ID frame to destroy

This is a wrapper function to fix a common mistake made when creating codec frames: lowercase codec names and other strange mistakes.

Examples: sendtr.c, and tagtr.c.

Creates a new string frame.

Parameters: label the label of this string frame

value the string contained in this string frame

Returns: valid string frame on success, NULL on failure

Creates a new unsigned 16-bit integer frame.

Parameters: label the label of this unsigned 16-bit integer frame

value the unsigned 16-bit integer contained in this frame

Returns: valid unsigned 16-bit integer frame on success, NULL on failure

This creates a new song ID holder structure. (A songid in turn contains several frames represening different metadata.)

Returns: a new song ID structure

Examples: sendtr.c, and tagtr.c.

This resets the internal pointer in the song ID so that it points to the first frame of the song ID. It should typically be called before subsequent calls to NJB_Songid_Getframe().
