HFE to Songlist (WordPress Plugin)

This plugin adds a shortcode that lets users upload an .hfe disk image and generate a song list from MIDI and Yamaha E-SEQ/FIL files. Uploads are processed asynchronously (AJAX), so the page does not reload between albums.

What It Produces

Output format:

ALBUM NAME
  01. Song 1 Name
  02. Song 2 Name

The plugin also shows a table with #, parsed song title, and source filename.

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.0+
  • PHP 8.0+
  • gw (Greaseweazle CLI) available on the server PATH
  • 7z (7-Zip CLI) available on the server PATH
  • Optional for AI cleanup: OpenAI API key

Installation

  1. Copy this plugin folder into wp-content/plugins/hfe-to-songlist.
  2. Activate HFE to Songlist in WordPress.
  3. Add shortcode to any page:
[hfe_songlist]

Validation and Safety

The plugin validates:

  • uploaded extension is .hfe
  • HFE signature is HXCPICFE
  • geometry/bitrate map to supported floppy classes:
    • 80 tracks, 2 sides, 250 kbps (720 KB)
    • 80 tracks, 2 sides, 500 kbps (1440 KB)
  • converted image is exactly 737280 or 1474560 bytes
  • converted image can be listed as a FAT filesystem by 7z

Temporary files are created under WordPress uploads (hfe-songlist-temp) and removed after processing.

Notes on Song Title Parsing

  • MIDI titles: reads text meta events (0x03 track name, fallback 0x01) from track chunks.
  • E-SEQ/FIL titles: reads title bytes at offset 0x57 length 0x20, normalizes ASCII spaces.
  • PIANODIR.FIL is skipped as a control/directory file.

AI Cleanup (Optional)

  • The upload form includes an AI Cleanup checkbox.
  • When checked, the plugin sends extracted titles to OpenAI and attempts to clean them up.
  • Default model is gpt-5.4-nano.
  • If cleanup fails or key is missing, the plugin still returns the original parsed titles.

Optional Binary Overrides

If needed, define constants in wp-config.php:

define('HFE_SONGLIST_GW_BINARY', '/path/to/gw');
define('HFE_SONGLIST_7Z_BINARY', '/path/to/7z');
define('HFE_SONGLIST_OPENAI_API_KEY', 'sk-...');
define('HFE_SONGLIST_OPENAI_MODEL', 'gpt-5.4-nano'); // default
define('HFE_SONGLIST_OPENAI_API_URL', 'https://api.openai.com/v1/responses'); // default

Or use filters:

  • hfe_songlist_gw_binary
  • hfe_songlist_7z_binary
  • hfe_songlist_openai_api_key
  • hfe_songlist_openai_model
  • hfe_songlist_openai_api_url
