XAudio cassette database, labels, inventory tools? Oh no! Not again!!
X
XYup, we're doing it again, and we're gonna keep on doing it until someone
Xgets it right!
X
XI am the proud owner of several HUNDRED audio cassettes. Some are
Xstudio tapes; most are self-made recordings of CD's and record
Xalbums I own. I have seen and used several computer based cassette
Xlabel making schemes, including:
X
X
X o MacDraw(tm) template upon which you fill in your own text or
X graphics
X
X o PC-based schemes which prompt you for text (some of which don't
X print the labels ferchrissakes!
X
X o Native postscript(tm) code template in which you change the text
X
X o Pure-ascii text with ascii cut- and fold- lines (ha ha)
X
X o Hypercard(tm) Stack(bm) database which prints nice labels
X
X o Latex style file
X
X
XNone of these schemes is exactly what I want.
X
XI do not have several thousand dollars to give to Apple Computer for
Xone of their Xerox Star rip-off clones (toasters), just to produce some
Xcassette labels. I don't happen to like Xerox PARC's Notecards
Xsoftware, which incidentally was also stollen by Apple and was also
Xgiven a fancier name.
X
XWe have some Apple hardware (toasters) at work, but I would rather
Xlabel my audio cassettes at home on my own time and on my own
Xhardware. Since I don't have a postscript(tm) printer, the postscript(tm)
Xtemplate system is also useless to me.
X
XWhat's left?
X
XI ftp'd the latex style file from sun.soe.clarkson.edu and noticed that
Xusing the cassette style format as a database would make life
Xmiserable. First of all, it has a lot of Latex
X\LargeCommand[cokebottle]{longparametername}{\several\commands text}
Xstyle commands. In addition to the tedium of typing in all of those
Xcommands (or writing a large set of editor macros to help), the source
Xfiles are not so simple to parse when writing report programs for
Xoutput other than cassette labels.
X
XSo I retreated to that popular and hacky language AWK which runs on dos,
Xmac-os, Unix, and lots of other places (not on cp/m, though :-(). I
Xdesigned a minimal database format and wrote an awk program to generate
Xlatex album files for use with Sunil Podar's neato cassette latex style.
X
XMy database format is simple. The first letter is the line identifier.
X
Xk is KEY a short string which identifies the entry uniquely
Xa is ARTIST the guy who wrote the music or whatever
Xt is TITLE the title of the album or tape or what have you
Xs is SONG an entry in the list of stuff on the tape
Xo is OTHER comments you want on the tape label
Xc is COMMENT stuff you do NOT want on the tape label but need in the database
Xe is END a marker for the end-of-entry
X
Xblank lines in the database files are ignored by the awk script.
X
XA sample Tape DataBase file p.tdb is included. To see what the script does,
Xtype something like
X
X% awk -f tape.awk < p.tdb
X
Xand then examine the output in o.tex. Then you can type something like
X
X% latex p
X
Xto see what the labels would look like.
X
XThe script (tape.awk) yells at you if it gets confused or can't find
Xsome important fields in an entry. It always tries to recover and
Xoutput a dummy string for the missing entry(ies). If there is no "e"
Xfield in an album entry, you are in deep trouble; the script is dumb.
X
XI designed this database scheme in 10 minutes and wrote the awk script in
Xhalf an hour, then I added the comments field and ignore blank-line stuff.
XThis readme file is taking longer than the entire database system to write!
X
XBUGS IN tape.awk
X
X The e END-OF-ENTRY field is an ugly hack should be fixed
X
X The output file is fixed "o.tex"
X
X Sunil's 2-albums-per-tape hack is weak
X
X
XTODO
X
X lots!!
X
X reports other than cassette labels
X
X a /bin/sh wrapper for the awk script

XThis document describes a way to maintain a simple ``album database'' and
Xsusequently print formatted casette tape labels. The commands to accomplish
Xthis have been implemented as a documentstyle option {\tt tape} and should be
Xused with the {\it article} documentstyle, i.e., it should be invoked with
Xthe command:
X
X\verb|\documentstyle[tape]{article}|
X
XA casette has two sides and each side is assumed to hold one {\it album}.
XEach side of a casette tape label has three major fields of information,
Xdepicted in Figure 1.:
X
X\begin{description}
X\item[side\hfill] the textual information that goes on the front-flap. This
Xis where most of the information goes.
X\item[title\hfill] the title given to the {\it side} that goes on the side
Xface of the casette cover.
X\item[addendum\hfill] the textual information that goes on the back-flap of
Xthe casette tape cover.
X\end{description}
X
X\album{1}{\it side--1}{\it title--1}{\it addendum--1}
X\album{2}{\it side--2}{\it title--2}{\it addendum--2}

X\small
X\maketape[tapeid]{1}{2}%
X\caption[]{The Layout of a Casette Tape Label and the Terminology Used}
X\end{center}
X\end{figure}
X
X\newpage
XEach side of the tape in the database is defined using the following
Xcommand:
X
X{\it
X\verb|\album{|album-id\verb|}{|side\verb|}{|title\verb|}{|addendum\verb|}|}
X
X\verb|\album| command defines an album. More precisely, it defines one side
Xof a casette tape. It takes four arguements: first one
Xis a unique label assigned to every album, the other three being {\it side},
X{\it title} and {\it addendum}.
X
XA tape label holds information for two sides. Following command produces the tape label:
X
X{\it \verb|\maketape[|tape-id\verb|]{|album1-id\verb|}{|album2-id\verb|}[|optional tape title\verb|]|}
X
XThe album entry corresponding to {\it album1-id} goes on the left side of the
Xtape label and those corresponding to {\it album2-id} on the right side. By
Xdefault, individual titles are picked up from the album definition and
Xformatted to appear under their own sides. If it is desired to have a single
Xtitle as the case may be if both sides of a tape are by the same composer or
Xgroup, then a title may be explicitly specified as the last arguement in
Xwhich case individual titles of the two albums, as specified in their
Xrespective \verb|\album| definitions, are ignored.
X
XA tape label also has two minor
Xfields of information, that go on the side face of the tape label, on either
Xside of the title. They are:
X\begin{description}
X\item[globaltapeid\hfill] This goes on the left side of the title, almost
Xflush with the left edge. This may hold information such as the owner's name.
XBy default, it is empty and may be changed using a \verb|\renewcommand|.
X
X\item[tapeid\hfill] This is an identification for individual tapes and goes
Xto the right of the title almost flush with the right edge.
X\end{description}
X
XThe width of the box in which the two fields described above are printed, is
Xcontrolled by a variable \verb|\tapeidwidth| and may be changed using a
X\verb|\setlength| command. Also, by default, a vertical line is drawn
Xseparating the two boxes from the title region. It may be changed by a
X\verb|\renewcommand| on the parameter \verb|\tapeidmarker| --- one may
Xprefer a $\bullet$ (\verb|$\bullet$|) as the demarcator.
X
XThe {\it side} and the {\it addendum} fields are set in a \verb|minipage|
Xenvironment, thus any of the regular paragraph formatting commands of \LaTeX\
Xmay be used; various formatting environments, such as {\tt tabbing}, {\tt
Xtabular}, {\tt itemize}, {\tt enumerate}, etc., can also be used. The other
Xfields, i.e., {\it title}, {\it globaltapeid} and {\it tapeid} are set in a
X\verb|\parbox| thus only \verb|\\| command may be used with no blank lines in
Xthe fields -- a parbox permits only one simple paragraph. Just a reminder: to
Xget indentation on a line following a \verb|\\| command, use \verb|\hspace*|
Xinstead of \verb|\hspace|; according to the manual, any \verb|\hspace| after
Xa \verb|\\| is ignored.
X
XOn the outside of the left hand edge of the tape label, three vertical lines
Xare shown. In addition to enforcing a correct height for each of the three
Xregions, they also serve as an indicator. Their height is invariant and in
Xthe case when more text has been typed in a region than will fit on the
Xlabel, they indicate precisely by how much has the height been overshot. They
Xshould, of course, be left out when the label is cut.
X
XNo choice of fonts or fontsizes is enforced and one is completely free to
Xchoose these, although it is suggested that a small-sized font (such as those
Xobtained by \verb|\small|, \verb|\footnotesize| or \verb|\tiny| declarations)
Xbe used since the width of the paragraphs is rather small. Also, if more
Xinformation need to be put than will fit, the inter-line spacing may be
Xreduced using a \verb|\renewcommand| on the parameter \verb|\baselinestretch|.
X
XTwo tape labels can be fit on a page, and a \verb|\newpage| declaration ought
Xto be placed after every two \verb|\maketape| commands.
X
XIt is assumed that each \verb|\album| describes one {\it side} of the tape
Xlabel, which is also usually the case. If one side of a tape contains more
Xthan one album then one will have to declare it as a single \verb|\album|
Xdescription. On the other hand, if a single album, or piece of music spans
Xboth sides of a casette tape, its description will have to be broken
Xinto two \verb|\album| declarations.
X
XThe label can be cut out along the outer boundary -- the border lines are
Xmeant to be part of the label so the cut should be just along the outer edge
Xof the lines.
X
X\section*{General Comments}
X
XThe tape database is implemented by storing all fields as control sequences,
Xthus it is suggested that the database be constructed using reasonable-sized
Xfiles; subsequently to make tape labels, only the necessary files be
X\verb|\input|, otherwise \TeX\ may run out of memory.
X
XThe tape database has been implemented with the aim that the database
Xfiles be sharable amongst various users so long as every album has a unique
X{\it album-id}. In order to load a tape database, all one needs to do is
X\verb|\input| the appropriate files and subsequently type the
X\verb|\maketape| commands for each desired pair of albums.
XFollowing suggestions are made for conventions to be adopted
Xso as to enable a large community to share files without much effort:
X\begin{itemize}
X\item Each album database file have a ``{\tt .bum}'' file-name
Xextension\footnote{music album $\Leftrightarrow$ musical bum --- Benny Hill}.
XFor such files, the extension will have to be explicitly specified in the
X\verb|\input| statement, otherwise \TeX\ will look for a file with a {\tt
X.tex} extension.
X
X\item Separate files be maintained for different composers or groups.
X
X\item Any character can be used in the {\it album-id}, thus following
Xformats are suggested for {\it album-id}'s\\[1mm]
X\hspace*{0.5in}\verb|filename.#|, or\\
X\hspace*{0.5in}\verb|filename[#]|, where {\tt \#} is an integer.
X
XFor example, one may have a file {\tt mozart1.bum} with various album
Xdescriptions of Mozart's compositions, each having an album-id of the form
X{\tt mozart1.1}, {\tt mozart1.2}, and so on. If a single piece of music
Xspans both sides then we might label the two parts using another level of
Xsubscripts, for example {\tt mozart.12.1} and {\tt mozart.12.2}.
X\end{itemize}
X
XThe only problem with above conventions is that if two users have a file with
Xidentical album-id's then the file will have to be
Xcopied and the album-id's changed.
X
XFollowing page contains an example. Commands used to generate the label would
Xbe:

XThis file is a "Readme" for the "tape" documentstyle option that implements
Xcommands to maintain a primitive database of albums from which subsequently
Xcasette tape labels can be printed with minimal effort. A significant
Xattraction is the fact that the album database can be shared among users.
X
XThe author hopes that from time to time netters make their databases
Xavailable to general public.
X
XInstallation:
XIn order for the 'tape' style option to be loaded, one of the two things will have to be done:
X
X1. A copy of the macro file 'tape.sty' be put in the standard place for
Xsuch macros (typically /usr/lib/tex/macros), or
X
X2. If you do not wish to install it as in step 1. or if you do not have
Xsuch priviledges, then a copy of 'tape.sty' may be put in some other
Xdirectory, and the path declared in the environment variable TEXINPUTS;
Xe.g. for C-shell on unix systems, put a command similar to the following in

XCaveat: I should really have made "tape" a standalone document style, but
Xwas lazy. I suggest that the following command be used for its invocation:
X\documentstyle[tape]{article}
Xwithout any other options. Also some of the list making environments, etc.
Xare redefined, hence if you try printing some regular text besides the
Xtape label, things may not come out right.
X
XAs always, comments, suggestions, bugs etc., are welcome. Also, please let me
Xknow if any worthwhile modifications are made.
X
Xenjoy.

X% This documentstyle is for making casette tape labels. Two labels can be
X% fit on a page with a \newpage command after every two labels.
X% It should be invoked with \documentstyle[tape]{article}.
X% --- should have made a standalone documentstyle, but was lazy; would
X% involve unnecessary dirty work.
X% If more stuff needs to be fit on a label, reduce the \baselinestretch in
X% the document and/or use smaller fonts.
X% Two commands are implemented:
X% \album{album-id}{stuff for the side}{title}{addendum that goes on backflap}
X% \maketape[tape-id]{album-id}{album-id}[optional explicit title]
