Module anlz

Parser for Rekordbox analysis files, that can be found inside nested subdirectories of the PIONEER/USBANLZ directory and can have the extensions .DAT, .EXT or .2EX. Note that these files are not only used for device exports, but also for local rekordbox databases. In that case, the directory can be found at %APPDATA%\Pioneer\rekordbox\share\PIONEER\USBANLZ.

These files contain additional data (such as beatgrids, hotcues, waveforms and song structure information) that is not part of the PDB file.

The file is divided in section, where each section consists of a tag, header, and content.

With the evolution of the Pioneer hardware line, new section types were added (e.g. for high-resolution colored waveforms). To avoid issues with older hardware that cannot handle the additional data due to their memory limitations, the new sections were only added to a copy of the original file (.DAT) and saved with another extension (.EXT).
