Thanks for your reply, I will update CUE Tools after I finish working on a few other programs.

Glad to hear that you are still working on it. So far your program is working like a gem. Special thanks for this.

Yes, it always worked like flawlessly. The conversion quality even surpassed the cue sheet interpreter of fb2k 0.8.x and in fact I've never found a difference between a CUETool-created conversion and test rips done with EAC set to the corresponding modes.

I wrote this a while back.

It's a batch file that that you just drag and drop a separate track CUE onto and it will create a single wave CUE based on the size of the wave files called out in the separate track CUE.

It will accept noncompliant, corrected gaps, as well as leftout gaps CUEs. If you feed it a corrected gaps CUE it will ask if the waves were created with gaps apended to the beginning or end of the track. If you feed it a leftout gaps CUE it will ask you if you want to proceed assuming the tracks were created with gaps appended to the end of the track.

Thanks for your reply, I will update CUE Tools after I finish working on a few other programs.

I just joined this thread, just heard about Cue Tools.

Can Cue Tools be used to automate the change of cast to proper case (Title Case) for Song Titles & Performers in Audio cue sheets?

Can it help me understand what is wrong with a .cue file (e.g. won't play in FooBar, plays track 2 twice in FooBar, plays track 12 for every track in WinAmp)?

In a nutshell what can Cue Tools Do.

I was referred to the download page and downloaded it but don't see a description at Moitah.net.

Thanks

This fixes the "Index length cannot be 0" and data track issues. It also adds an option for FLAC output, though the resulting files don't have seektables (which is why it's not 1.6.0 final), and the ability to stop/cancel during the writing of the audio files.

Ah, that's great news! Thanks for this new release. I've tested the Data Track conversion already and it works as expected... ignoring the Data Track when converting seperate track cue sheets to single WAV cue sheet.

Then I have a suggestion for the opposite conversion scenario: add an option like "data track present". This will add an "EAC compliant" data track entry at the end of a seperate track cue sheet, they all look pretty much the same:

CODE

  TRACK 08 MODEx/2xxx
    TITLE "CD-Rom Track For PC and Mac "
    PERFORMER "Creation Rebel"
    ISRC 000000000000
    INDEX 00 04:10:15

The only thing that needs to be calculated is the "INDEX 00" line, it's the length of the last track. This way the user who knows what he is doing can easily "fake back" a seperate track cue sheet when he made a single wav rip of a CDDA disc with a data track. Also note that TITLE "CD-Rom Track For PC and Mac " is actually correct, the space between Mac and " is a typo in EAC's code, and for compliant's sake I'd adopt it because of that.

Unfortunately I'm not able to test the "Index length cannot be 0" thing anymore since I've deleted that rip some time ago. The remixes of those Can songs weren't that good anyway...

I also like the FLAC output, too. And I'm sure it will be the most awaited feature by most people.

Btw, how about starting your own thread here in the CD-HW/SW forum? It would be much easier to keep track of CUETools development and also easier to guide people in need of a tool like yours to that thread. Maybe it even becomes a sticky. And I'd contact a moderator to split this thread (at the point where you came up with your tool) and append it to that new thread, so the discussion about CUETools development will remain in one dedicated thread.

cool! thanks for the work. VERY useful

[Moitah]

CUE Tools v1.6.0:

• Added: Option to output FLAC files.
• Fixed: "Index length cannot be 0" error.
• Fixed: Couldn't handle CUE sheets with data tracks.
• It's now possible to stop/cancel when writing audio files.

Download (Binary and Source) - .NET Framework 2.0 required

This version uses the FLAC 1.1.3 beta 2 library for decoding and encoding. The compression level and "verify" settings can be changed by editing "%AppData%\CUE Tools\settings.txt". The FLACCompressionLevel setting can range from 0 to 8 (inclusive), FLACVerify is 0 for disabled and 1 for enabled. The encoded FLAC files do have seektables and were bit-identical when I compared with the official "flac.exe" command line encoder with padding set to 4096 bytes.

This adds WavPack decoding (no encoding, I'll see how much work that would involve). I haven't tested it with lossy+correction files but I think it should work.

CUE Tools v1.7.0 Beta 1

This adds WavPack decoding (no encoding, I'll see how much work that would involve). I haven't tested it with lossy+correction files but I think it should work.

Appreciated very much. Thanks!

[Moitah]

CUE Tools v1.7.0:

• Added: WavPack support, both read and write.

[Link removed, see here for updated link] - .NET Framework 2.0 required



I tested the WavPack reader with lossy+correction and it works fine. The WavPack writer uses the default settings, currently there isn't a way to change the compression level.

CUE Tools now has its own thread, please post any new replies there instead of in this thread.
