foo_cue_ex, How do you create a cue from playlist? Options

[Synthetic Soul]

"This tiny little thingy allows you to store/read meta information in CUE sheets. No more database dependence! Put all your GENRE, DATE, COMMENT etc. tags straight in CUE. For melo-maniacs..
Also supports playlist->cue export/saving feature."

I cannot for the life of me see how to create a cuesheet from the current playlist

If I go to save the playlist I just get the options of fpl, m3u and m3u8. If I right-click on the items I get nothing. Nothing in the Components menu item.

Can someone explain where I should be looking please?

Cool, thanks. I'll test it on some albums and let you know if I found something strange.

Yes, please do. Bear in mind it is still in beta.

I have now uploaded version 0.2. You can still get the previous version here.

This one will let you specify the mask for naming.



If you double click on the EXE the GUI (above) will appear. This lets you create masks from which to add PERFORMER/TITLE meta data to the cuesheet.

You can save masks to an INI file and then select them from the dropdown list. The mask visible in the dropdown when the GUI is closed using the OK button is the mask used when CueMake runs. If there's no INI file (i.e.: no settings have been saved) the mask shown above will be used. You can now also drag a folder onto a blank area of the dialogue to process that folder.

This means that if your files are named:

"Green Day - American Idiot - Jesus of Suburbia - Track 02.wav"

... you can correctly populate the cuesheet meta data by specifying a mask of:

%artist% - %album% - %title% - Track %tracknumber%.wav

Use an empty tag (%%) to discard variable data. E.g.: if you had year or genre information in all your track files, like:

"Rock - Green Day_American Idiot_2004 - Jesus of Suburbia, Track 02.wav"

... you could use:

%% - %artist%_%album%_%% - %title%, Track %tracknumber%.wav

Before merging, files will be sorted by tracknumber where available - or file path if the mask for some reason doesn't contain a %tracknumber% tag (which may be foolish).

Available tags for the mask are:

• %album artist%
• %album%
• %tracknumber%
• %artist%
• %title%

Again, all feedback/suggestions for improvements welcome. However, to preempt an obvious question, I really don't have the time to get this to work with any other files than WAVE (e.g.: MP3 or APE). I will be using this app for lossless files, and I'm quite happy to decode to WAVE before the merge, and then encode back to lossless. I'm afraid I just don't have the free time to learn how to do this with other files - WAVE files are a piece of cake to work with.

Hi Neil,

I am getting this error message "404 Not Found
There was no page found at this location. You may wish to report this to the owner of the site." when trying to access version 0.2.

Thanks!
