Rekordbox Monitor

A Rust application that monitors real-time data from Rekordbox DJ software, including track information, fader positions, and beat timing.

Features

• Real-time monitoring of:
  • Currently playing tracks (both decks)
  • Track metadata (title, artist, ID)
  • Beat positions and cue points
  • Channel faders and crossfader positions
• Integration with Rekordbox collection XML for enhanced track information
• Visual representation of mixer state

How It Works

The application uses memory reading techniques to access Rekordbox's runtime data:

1. Process Attachment: Connects to the running Rekordbox process (rekordbox.exe) and locates the necessary memory regions.

2. Data Reading: Uses memory pointer chains to read various pieces of information:

   • Track metadata (titles, artists, IDs)
   • Beat positions and timing information
   • Mixer state (fader positions)

3. XML Integration: Parses Rekordbox's collection XML file to provide additional track information and cue point data, particularly for:

   • Track identification
   • Cue points with "EW" markers
   • Beat timing verification

Usage

1. Ensure Rekordbox is running
2. Launch the application with the path to your Rekordbox collection XML:

cargo run -- --collection-xml-path /path/to/collection.xml
