Topic: VDJScript get info from prelisten player
Wondering if it is possible to get song info from the prelisten player? I would like to map a key/button to load the song in the prelisten player to a deck.

When there is a song in the prelisten player and I click another folder, the songlist in the browser will be different than the one the song in the prelisten player...

Sometimes, I'm quickly searching tunes and hear the one in the prelisten... ooh that one I want, but if I have clicked another folder can't load it...

Now I hover over the prelisten player, read the text (so VDJ itself does fetch it from somewhere), search the song and then load.

I can't think of a way it can be done now, but you're right tool tip has the info needed. "deck prelisten" isn't currently a recognised deck specifier but I guess it could be for get_ type scripts.

A rare case but the info panel has plenty of space for a goto file button
or just drag from info pane, A rare case but I don't think it would be that hard for the devs

prelisten_info is just like get_loaded_song or get_browsed_song

your example would look like this
prelisten_info 'full path' & param_cast & load

Hi Locodog,
prelisten_info 'full path' & param_cast & load < this command works fine,
but it always loads the track on deck 1!
What is the command that the title is loaded to deck 2?
greeting Werner

I wrote the following > prelisten_info 'full path' & param_cast & load deck 1
but it does not work!
