CUETools versions 1.9.5 through 2.1.4 (current), AccurateRip support & more Options

[Gregory S. Chudo...]

Please welcome, CUETools v2.1.4. (CUETools download page) or direct link: http://www.cuetools.net/install/CUETools_2.1.4.rar

16.04.2012: CUETools 2.1.4:
* CTDB 2.0: now ignoring pregap in parity calculations
* CTDB 2.0: popular CDs can have twice larger correction files
* CTDB 2.0: confidence values no longer include AccurateRip data
* CTDB 2.0: simplified (per-track) verification log
* CTDB 2.0: faster verification process with less network traffic
* CUERipper: support for some older drives, like PLEXTOR W1210A
* CUERipper: support for cover art
* CUERipper: main window resizable
* CUERipper: real test&copy mode
* CUERipper: options dialog
* Tagging: support for release date, release country, disc subtitle, label, catalog number, comment
* Local DB: can now refresh folder, removing missing files from database and adding new files.
* Codecs: LAME encoder updated to use libmp3lame.dll, which is now included in CUETools download (version 3.98.4)
* Various bug fixes

14.06.2011: CUETools 2.1.2:
* AccurateRip v2 support (without cross-pressing verification)
* EAC CTDB plugin
* CTDB now supports musicbrainz Next Generation Schema (NGS) metadata. Old musicbrainz library removed. New musicbrainz NGS metadata can now be used in filename templates, including %discname%, %label%, %releasedate%, %country%, %releasedateandlabel%, %discnumberandname%
* CTDB submissions are now based on the same data that was used when verifying, so 'submit' script was removed, and data is submitted after verification, after showing confirmation dialog
* CTDB verification is now much faster
* Local DB: option to purge records
* Local DB: now shown in the same window as folder browser
* metadata editing window size is now saved in settings
* CUERipper now sends CD barcode and rip quality when submitting
* support for wierd CDs with two data tracks before audio

IMPORTANT: .NET Framework 2.0 (SP2) required. If you get a "could not load file or assembly" error message for CUETools.Codecs.TTA/APE/WavPack/FLAC, make sure the recent version of Visual C++ 2008 runtime files (x86,x64) is installed.

You can always download the latest source code from project's SVN repository at SourceForge.
Instructions for svn access can be found here.

Well, in this case there is no bug. Either your copy or the one in database is damaged in almost every track, there's only one submission to the database, so there's no way to find out which was the case.

My current guess is that Tripleflac compares partial CRCs, not of entire tracks, but of some small fragments. There is a mysterious unused alernate CRC for each track in AccurateRip database, and i suppose it's a CRC of some fragment of a track.

Tripleflac managed to guess the offset using bad copies - that's looks like a nice feature, and i would like to have it in CUETools too, though i think it's not very useful. Because if your copy is damaged, offset is the last thing you should worry about

if your copy is damaged, offset is the last thing you should worry about

Agree, since I can verify rip without fixing offset at first I'm not worried about it at all Maybe that is why I haven't really tried "Fix offset" option yet and lack for autoverification after conversion. If AR knows about different pressing only but I'm sure the rip is offset corrected, I wouldn't adjust it to AR, only convert image to tracks (I like it that way) and verify result. Anyway I accept what you done with gratitude!

Creating .cue works fine! But I think there must be some remark about it's origin, maybe in filename or in REM or both.
And that "Browse for folders" dialog always starting at Desktop is really a pain in the ass IMHO drag'n'drop straight on those three buttons would be much more handy (accepting cuesheet(s), folder(s) and a set of files would be nice).
But it still wouldn't be as much handy as commandline switches to do whatever we want directly from favorite file manager

And could you please add hotkeys also for "Output" ("Fix offset" could be changed to "Fix offset"), "Manual" and "Create subdirectory"?

Let me know if I'm makin haste or distract you from more important things

I second that. Cuesheets created by CUETools should be immediately distinguishable from others. Why not directly in the filename ? E.g. : "Artist - Album [CUETools].cue" (REM would be good also as a complement)

Ok, how is this possible, then?

Now, freeDB clearly recognizes the new wav as "DCC Gold", so it is the same pressing. Why for a properly made log with correct offset value (yes, 48 is correct for this drive), I still do not get a perfect match?

Just because freeDB recognizes it doesn't mean it's the same pressing.
