Auto Relocate Sucks, So I Made One That Actually Works

One time I used OneTagger to give thousands of tracks treatment to get a consistent file naming system on my local files; little did I know that it would break thousands of links in Rekordbox. I tried the Auto Relocate feature only to face the horror of being faced with the dumbest tool ever. Then I sat there, staring at the screen with thousands of songs with barely changed names, unchanged metadata, yet rekordbox was unable to find any of them.

RB lets you Relocate, and if you want to re-link, you have to do it one by one. Lazy as I am, I knew it wasn't on the table doing so for days on end; then the thought came up, "what if I could just fix it my way?"

So here you go, a tool with capabilities of doing what Rekordbox can't. Fully open source, GPL 3 licensed, completely free without asking for anything back.

Since then I've added Hot Cue managing functionality. a browser that scans your database, shows your RB library with focus on Hot Cues. What is really cool though is that, let's say if you've re-encoded a bunch of FLAC files to MP3. One would think you'd have to re-import the new file, right?

The only issue is that re-encoding like that will add some length to the song, and therefore will drift your hot cues off the grid, but not anymore.

Safely Re-encode how many files you want, Relink them with Relinkbox, then use Cue Manager to snap those hot cues back into place, all by clicking one button.

Random tip: hitting the ball while boosting heavily impacts the ball speed. if you often fail to keep the ball close, try not boosting on contact, then boosting right after the hit

almost embarrassed to say I didn't learn this until recently as I was struggling with wall hits always running away from me when wanting to pop.

hope it helps someone else as well :)
