Noncompliant to single wav cuesheet, Any automated tool? Options

[DrGreen]

Hi,

i'm sorry if this was already asked here, but I couldn't found it with search.

Is there any tool that can convert a multiple files noncompliant cuesheet to a single image one?

The reason for this is that I have some albums stored as multiple files with a noncompliant cuesheet with gaps append to the end of previous track. Now I would like to join the files and create one appropriate cuesheet with all gaps preserved.

I've read the EAC CUE Sheets wiki page, and I see that it contains the method for converting, but it's difficult to apply it to a lot of cues by hand.

So I was thinking on some tool, or other clerver and quicker method to do it.

Thanks!

Yes, and since WAVTools already supports adding first track pre-gap, it is perfect for CUETools which would provide the needed value automagically.

I did another test (with the new version):

Foobar2000 (upto 0.9 beta 6, dunno about newer betas) has the ability to add replaygain info into cue sheets.

For album gain it simply adds the following keywords (followed by the corresponding values) "REM REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_GAIN" and "REM REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_PEAK" after TITLE and before the first FILE entry. In the FILE/TRACK section it respectively adds "REM REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN" and "REM REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_PEAK" at the end. This is roughly how it is done with a single image cue sheet... now with a multi track cue sheet it is also possible but it looks a lot messier.

I dunno how, but CUETools does converting such a replaygained multi track cue sheet quite well, as far as I can see, except for one thing that makes fb2k reject such a single image cue sheet afterwards: the "REM REPLAYGAIN_*" lines are placed before the INDEX lines, but foobar2000 always puts them past the TITLE/*/INDEX lines in these single cues. It's best seen when looking at three example:

A non-compliant cue sheet after being "replaygained" by foobar2000:

This was a clean single image compliant cue sheet which got replaygained:

So I guess only a small tweaking of the code is necessary here...

Moderation: Amended to use codebox

-- Thx, Synthetic Soul. I knew there was a BBcode like this but I forgot its name.
