Create cue sheet from EAC log Options

[JERECHO]

Can I somehow create a cue sheet from a v1.0 EAC log extraction file?

Never had to use it myself, but probably worth a try.

This thread belongs in General Audio, not Lossless.

You can derive a cue sheet from a rip log, but it will only be correct if the following conditions are met:

• The original CD either has no gaps (index 00 sections), or it does have gaps which were manually detected before ripping (F4)
• The original CD has no indexes greater than 01 (in my collection, this is 2 or 3 out of ~1000 CDs)
• The original CD has no MCN, ISRCs, copyright flags, pre-emphasis flags, or CD-Text data (most CDs have the first two, at least)

Why not just stick the disc back in the drive and have EAC generate a cue sheet from it?

Unless, of course, you never had the original CD.

Edit: This probably belongs in CD Hardware/Software.

Edit a copy of the EAC v1.0 log to make it resemble a v.99 log. I'm guessing you probably have one on hand somewhere. From thence you would proceed to the aforementioned site linked by HotShot FR and do your thing. (It wouldn't be as difficult to do this as it sound...just open both in your text editor. Use the Log to Cue option with current gaps as the setting on the EAC Helper.)

BTW, people here are pretty judgmental about P2P and such as you can see. That should work out for you though. If you need any other help don't be afraid to ask (me, if no one else here.)

Sadly the site has moved again. Where? Unknown to me.

It was down for a while, but is back, as of a few hours ago.

The admin told me it was just down due to technical difficulties; his ISP had botched some "maintenance".

I am curious for knowledge...
Could you please explain to me, and anyone else reading this thread, what is the difference between 1.0 and 0.9 cue sheets?
One cue sheet is more "compliant" than the other with regards to what ...a particular program? ...a particular specification?
Are these facts documented anywhere?
Thankyou.

Unless, of course, you never had the original CD.

Unless, of course, you have to live for a few months/years some 1000 miles from your original CDs.

That's quite off-topic, anyway - and on the wrong forum category, agreed

They said log, not cue sheet. Presumably the utility only works with the older version’s log files.

Googling cue specification is a fair start. Oft-cited is the CDRWIN version, since it pioneered the format. Specifically, declared tracks are not supposed to comprise audio from more than one file, as occurs in “noncompliant” cue sheets where the pregap (INDEX 00) of one track is taken from the file of the one prior.
