Flac Doesn't Let Me Embed This Cuesheet, What's wrong with it? Options

[smz]

Flac (1.1.2) doesn't let me embed the follwing cuesheet

CODE

PERFORMER "Performer Name"
TITLE "Album Title"
FILE "mytestfile.wav" WAVE
 TRACK 01 AUDIO
   TITLE "Track01 Title"
   PERFORMER "Performer Name"
   INDEX 01 00:00:00

   ...

with this error:

CODE

ERROR initializing encoder
state= FLAC_STREAM_ENCODER_INVALID_METADATA

Is this a bug or there is something wrong with my cuesheet that I can't spot?

Cheers

Sergio


Edit: spelling. If also a mod could fix the topic title... thanks! (Done, thanks to the mod!)

Edit2: removed great part of the cuesheet as the problem was not with it (see subsequent posts), to make the thread more readable.

Edit3: Modified cuesheet example so that RIAA doesn't sue me, in case I die...

I just tested your WAVE and CUE and got the same result.

However, I then tried the CUE with a WAVE I have kicking about, and still got the same result/error.

I tried it with another WAVE with another CUE and it worked fine. I tried the new CUE with my "bad" WAVE and it didn't work. I have therefore concluded that it is the WAVE files (as I think we knew).

I have just converted a small MP3 I had kicking about to WAV using foobar, and got the same error. If I convert the file to FLAC and then back again to WAVE I still get the error, so I have uploaded it to my webspace (I can't upload to HA as it is a Zuton's track at 37 seconds). Please feel free to download, convert to WAVE and try adding a cuesheet using FLAC --cuesheet=<x> untitled.wav. Please delete after testing though.

I used METAFLAC to add the cuesheet using --import-cuesheet-from and it seems to have worked (I'm not familiar with METAFLAC or FLAC). If I do METAFLAC --list I get:
