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 agree with rjamorim and smz. FLAC is making assumptions that, with my limited knowledge, I don't think are necessary. Cue sheets don't have any kind of information regarding the end of the last track, so FLAC should only check if all tracks defined in the cue sheet are possible within the duration of the flac file.

And shouldn't be the businness of a CD burning (or emulation) application to eventually deal with a possibly incomplete last sector of the PCM stream?

I agree. And don't most burning apps "solve"/ignore this problem by adding silent samples? This shouldn't be a problem unless someone wants to do "source file" -> Audio CD -> "source file" (burn to cd audio and being able to extract a file equal to the source file). [edit: but I believe this doesn't have anything to do with FLAC]
