MusicBee Library

2021-08-24T04:23:06Z

Lempamo: Created page with "{{FormatInfo |formattype=electronic |subcat=Audio and Music |extensions={{ext|mbl}} }} MusicBee is a freeware music player and library manager for Windows written in Visual Ba..."

{{FormatInfo
|formattype=electronic
|subcat=Audio and Music
|extensions={{ext|mbl}}
}}
MusicBee is a freeware music player and library manager for Windows written in Visual Basic. The '''MusicBee Library''' file keeps track of all the media that MusicBee considers part of a person's collection. This includes all the metadata about each file, so MusicBee does not have to read the actual files every time to get that information.

== Format ==
The format of MusicBee's library starts with the amount of files in the library, encoded as a signed 32-bit integer that has been left-shifted by 8. This is then followed by the blocks that represent each of the files.

{| class="wikitable"
! Data
! Format
! Size (in bytes)
|-
| File Designation? (if 1, the end of the file has been reached) || byte || 1
|-
| Status? || byte || 1
|-
| ? (always seems to be 0xFF) || byte || 1
|-
| Play Count || uint16 || 2
|-
| Date Last Played || int64 (.NET DateTime) || 8
|-
| Skip Count || uint16 || 2
|-
| File Path || pascal string (length is 7-bit) || variable
|-
| File Size (in bytes) || int32 || 4
|-
| Sample Rate || int32 || 4
|-
| Channel Indicator || byte || 1
|-
| Bitrate Type (CBR, VBR, etc.) || byte || 1
|-
| Bitrate || int16 || 2
|-
| Track Length (in ms) || int32 || 4
|-
| Date Added || int64 (.NET DateTime) || 8
|-
| Date Modified || int64 (.NET DateTime) || 8
|}

Following this are blocks representing the artwork associated with the file.

{| class="wikitable"
! Data
! Format
! Size (in bytes)
|-
| Artwork Type (if 0xFE or 0xFF, move on) || byte || 1
|-
| ? || pascal string (length is 7-bit) || variable
|-
| Storage Mode || byte || 1
|-
| ? || pascal string (length is 7-bit) || variable
|}

After the artwork we have tags listed with the code for the tag as a byte, followed by a pascal string containing the value of the tag. If the tag code is 0, then you move on to the next file block. If the tag code is 255 however, there are some unknown values pertaining to .cue files that are repeated per the value of an int16.

{| class="wikitable"

|-
| ? || byte || 1
|-
| ? || uint16 || 2
|-
| ? || int64 || 8
|-
| ? || uint16 || 2

D3TV

Lempamo:

{{FormatInfo
|formattype=electronic
|subcat=Game data files
|extensions={{ext|sht}}, others
}}
'''D3TV''' files are game data files used by the v3.x of the D.U.N.E (Developers Universal Non-programming Environment) Engine, which added support for CD Audio with the Commodore CDTV, and is well known for being the engine used by "The Town With No Name" and "Psycho Killer". These files usually correspond to individual "shots" in a DUNE game, and are based on the [[IFF]] metaformat.

== Identification ==
D3TV files begin with <code>FORM</code>, have the file-size in bytes starting at offset 4, and have a type indicator of <code>D3TV</code> at offset 8.

== Chunks ==
These files contain many different chunks for different types of game data. All offsets mentioned are relative to the start of the chunk identifier.

=== AFRM ===
The purpose of this chunk is currently unknown.

=== AVNE ===
This chunk contains information about "avenues", which are links to other shots.

{| class="wikitable"
! Offset

! Size (in bytes)
|-
| 0x00 || Chunk identifier (<code>AVNE</code>) || 4
|-
| 0x04 || Chunk size (always <code>30</code>) || 4

:''This article is about the generic IFF metaformat. For the IFF '''image format''', see [[ILBM]]. For Sun IFF, see [[Sun TAAC image]].''

'''IFF''' ('''Interchange File Format''') is a general-purpose binary file format introduced by Electronic Arts on the Commodore Amiga computer in 1985. It is sometimes known as '''IFF 85'''.

== Format details ==
An IFF file is composed of elements called "chunks". Each chunk consists of a [[FourCC|4-byte type identifier]] (represented by four ASCII characters), a 4-byte length, and the chunk's payload data. Some types of chunks contain a sequence of nested chunks. Multi-byte numeric values are [[Endianness|big-endian]].

IFF defines a number of standard chunks types. Additional types are invented as needed by IFF-based formats.

Of particular significance is chunk type <code>FORM</code>. Most IFF-based files are formatted as a single <code>FORM</code> chunk. A <code>FORM</code> chunk's data contains a four-byte "FORM type" code, indicating the data type, followed by a sequence of nested chunks.

An IFF-based format whose FORM type is ''xxxx'' might be referred to as "FORM ''xxxx''". FORM types may also be used as filename extensions.

== Identification ==
Most IFF files begin with the ASCII characters "<code>FORM</code>". The file type is then indicated by the 4-byte ASCII code beginning at offset 8.

There are also aggregate formats that begin with "<code>LIST</code>" or "<code>CAT </code>".

== FORM type cross-reference ==
Selected FORM types, and related articles, are listed below. See also [[:Category:IFF based file formats]].

{| class="wikitable"

== Variant formats ==
Some other formats are largely or heavily influenced by the IFF standard, but are not compatible. These include, for example:
* Erlang [[BEAM]] compiled modules: Uses 4 byte alignment instead of 2 byte, and the root chunk has a different ID (<code>FOR1</code> instead of <code>FORM</code>)
* Microsoft's [[RIFF]] and [[RIFX]] formats are based on IFF (RIFF uses [[Endianness|little-endian]] byte order instead, and the root chunk is called <code>RIFF</code> instead of <code>FORM</code>)
* Apple's [[AIFF]] and [[AIFC]] formats are similar to IFF/RIFF as well
* [[Maya IFF]]
* [[IFF (The Sims)]]

==Overview==
Many popular games use proprietary file formats to store their assets. These include custom image, sound and video formats and custom archive formats. There is no way that all of these can be enumerated here in some way or another. And as long as the games can still be run by an [[Emulation_Software|Emulator]] it's not that much of a deal. However, a lot of work has been put into deciphering, decrypting and hacking these files, and that work should be preserved.

See also: [[Interactive Fiction]] for data formats related to text adventure games, [[Puzzles]] for puzzle-game files, and [[Saved Games]] for data saved by games to store a player's game status.
