Title: OTS to Mp3 or Wav
Post by: BobbyBond2 on July 30, 2023, 11:46:36 PM
Is it possible to use OTS Studio to extract all my .OTS files to Mp3 or Wav?  I would really prefer not to do this with each individual file, but a batch process would be great. 

Thanks!
Rob

There use to be a batch converter from Ots not seen it for ages, I will look for it on my computers or maybe some one else may help.

I have checked my systems with no luck. If you do a search of the forum for Batch converter you may find some help.

OTSMP3.exe was shipped with some previous versions of software, maybe even OtsJuke.

This is pretty old now but AFAIK it still works in most cases, and it is quick.  The Help function is not recognised by later Windows so I have created a .pdf help file based on the original.  That's included in the package OtsMP3.rar hopefully attached.

Failing that, I've written a script (compiled to an .exe) to do this using Studio but it takes a while and can get lost if the computer is used while it is working. It asks for the top level folder containing Ots files to extract from then loops through the folder, recursively, and uses OtsStudio to export contents of each file in WAV or native format

Tracks will be exported into the folder containing the Ots file, overwriting existing files if necessary.
In this way, if Ots files are kept in folders by genre then the extracted files will also be kept in genre.

A master log file will be saved in the top level folder, named OtsExportLog_<yyyyDDhhMM>.txt

Rename the .png file as .exe to use.
