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

Wow Custom Proxy implemented!
Awesome stuff again Gregory !

-When set to encode mode, with no audio output, using the same file extension as the source files, (flac in this case,
& using [%directoryname%\]%filename%-new[%unique%].cue, you will get an error saying
"Exception: Source and destination audio files path cannot be the same".

(obviously If you use a new dir path like [%directoryname%\]new[%unique%]\%filename%.cue, all is well).
Thanks !

Yes, the drive that cannot overread into Lead-out and positive offset will loose the last few samples and they will be replaced by zeroes. Number of lost samples equals drive offset.
So for best results you might want to use drive with small offset or better yet drive that can overread into leadout.
But keep in mind, that 6 samples is not very much audio, about 0.1 millisecond, and that audio in that part of CD is usually very close to silence anyway, so i wouldn't worry very much about it.

OK, so why are AR CRC accurate ? How is it count ?

Thanks

[Gregory S. Chudo...]

2940 last samples are ignored by AR.

I Think I found another bug,

-When Encoding, unticking the Embed Image, image still gets embedded.[checked again & again - bug still happens]
-The image embedded gets resized even if the Resize threshold is set higher,(to 6000 here, so it can be avoided). [could not get it to happen again.]

Is there away to enable the "pressing #X" in the reports?

[greynol]

FWIW, #X has no definitive meaning in terms of the pressing.

Go back over this thread as this question has been asked already.

It seems that when "Copy album art tags" is enabled, image gets embedded even if it comes from a file.

Been using CUETools for verifying purposes for quite a time now. Really a nice and time-saving app, so thanks everybody envolved.
Now I'm experiencing a tricky issue since the last update (i.e 2.0.9). All profiles work fine, I can do all my usual tasks, but can't
switch between different profiles. I can jump from "default" to any other, but next switch always outputs an "unhandled exception...
blah-blah-blah... error generating XML document". I may ignore and go on but... just pisses me off! (Oops, sorry! )

Previous version (2.0.4a to me) worked just perfect. My system: XP SP3, NET Framework 2.0/3.0/3.5, Visual C++ 2005/2008. All updated.
What should I do? Will keep on using old version in the meantime.

Best regards and thx in advance... for all!

CUERipper doesn't overread (into leadout) with my Plextor PX-760. Is this intended?
What do I have to do to get an output like "Queen [1976] A Night At The Opera.cue"?


Greetings, Surf ...

I don't have a drive capable of overreading, so i couldn't implement it yet. I know it's important for some users, but it will take some time.

Try the following template:
%music%\%artist%[ - '['%year%']'] - %album%.cue

I'm archiving all my CDs as single file flac archives. I am using EAC to rip the CDs as wav and CUETools for further processing, and usually everything works well. But I've got some CDs which cannot be ripped accurately by EAC. When testing with CueTools it reports these tracks as "No match but offset". Here is one example from the CD "The Diary of Alicia Keys".

Does this mean, that the tracks are ripped without error but with the wrong offset? Can CUETools fix this error?
Or is this an inaccurate rip without any chance for a repair?

[Gregory S. Chudo...]

This seems to be an inaccurate rip without any chance for a repair - errors in each track.

[bit4bit]

Gregory, thank you for your fast reply. I was always wondering how other 50 - 65 people were able to make an accurate rip. This leads me to another question. Is it in any way possible to retrieve information about the CD-Drives these people used from the AccurateRip database?

[maiolina]

Hi, and thanks for this very useful application!
I've read in some posts that there's a script that checks automatically for the "usual" pregap times (32, 37 ms etc), where can I find it?
Thanks!

[Gregory S. Chudo...]

This leads me to another question. Is it in any way possible to retrieve information about the CD-Drives these people used from the AccurateRip database?

Nope. If you don't have such problems with other CDs, most probably it's just a bad CD.

I've read in some posts that there's a script that checks automatically for the "usual" pregap times (32, 37 ms etc), where can I find it?

Ahem, one page earlier

[maiolina]

Ooops you're right, I've surrender some pages before...
How do I apply the custom script to CT 2.0.9?

[Gregory S. Chudo...]

Go to advanced settings (by clicking the gray cog-wheel at the top), proceed to the Scripts tab, click on any script, press Insert. Enter the name of new script, paste the code on the right, and check the 'Verify' option for this script.

[maiolina]

Thanks, now it's time to test it!

[krafty]

Gregory, this is what I get in Ubuntu 10.04 when I run CUETools and press "Settings" button....
Am I missing a package or is it a bug?

It seems that when "Copy album art tags" is enabled, image gets embedded even if it comes from a file.

Thanks for verifying this.
I have another question, when using CueRipper, it ignores the proxy settings I use in CueTools,
Am I missing something, or did I just submit another feature request ?

[Admiral Oggbar]

In the fake EAC log when using burst mode, are there really two passes (test and copy)? It's been my experience with a scratched disc that the disc is only ripped once in burst mode, because I am getting matching CRCs in CUERipper where it seems nearly impossible to get matching CRCs.

If you are really only making one pass, please make the log indicate such. Otherwise, it's INCREDIBLY misleading. If I rip a disc that's not in the AR or CT databases, and there are no errors in the log, I would come to the conclusion that the rip was good because the log indicates matching CRCs.

Here are two rips of the same track.

One minor question, since 2.0.9 how can you display the summary and the verification log? If I select Multibrowser or drag´n drop mode it only shows the summary i.e. "AR: offset 681, rip accurate (7/7), CTDB: disk not present in database.", while in folder mode or without browser it only displays the log. :S

btw been using CT for some time and works great, thank you a lot!

[ChronoSphere]

I noticed a weird behavior on some of my rips... I verified & submitted my library today and some lines in the log caught my eye:

B:\Music\hack//G.U\[Album] hack//G.U. Game OST I Disc #1.flac: AR: offset -499, rip not accurate (2/2), CTDB: disk not present in database, z6E00y3ZcDQWhRDTr0EoMeovtQU- has been uploaded.
B:\Music\hack//G.U\[Album] hack//G.U. Game OST I Disc #2.flac: AR: rip not accurate (2/2), CTDB: disk not present in database, TJbX55eCSO6YmSH5qOBoNsjOMk8- has been uploaded.
B:\Music\Kajiura Yuki\[Album] Kajiura Yuki - Noir - Blanc dans Noir II.flac: HDCD detected, AR: offset 30, rip not accurate (0/5), CTDB: disk not present in database, will not submit.

What I wonder is, why does it submit anything to the CTDB if the rip is not accurate? Also, the Noir CD is a simple audio CD and not a HDCD (what's that, anyway oO)

Also, it seems like simply checking if the disk exists on AR isn't a good idea. CueTools found some of the single flac tracks lying around my HDD in AR and submitted them as albums to CTDB ._.
Maybe you should add a length check to it? I doubt there are singles out that are <10 mins long. Scratch that, i just looked at the log again and it seems CUETools was smart enough to treat them as albums and not single tracks. That's great
edit2: There is one problem though, looks like it checks the %album% tag only. I have some rips that have the same %album% tag and only differ by %discnumber% tags. Cuetools treated this album as 1 CD...

One more thing, could you pleas add a "Yes to all"/"No to all" buttons? When one verifies the whole library, it's really annoying to sit there an confirm you want to overwrite the logs.
Also, why is CUETools still writing "Disk not found in CTDB" in the log if it just submitted the album to the DB itself?

edit: just ran verify a second time to test if the 2 "not accurate" rips were really submitted:

CODE

B:\Music\hack／／G.U\[Album] hack／／G.U. Game OST I  Disc #1.flac: CUEToolsDB: verified OK, confidence 2.
B:\Music\hack／／G.U\[Album] hack／／G.U. Game OST I  Disc #2.flac: CUEToolsDB: verified OK, confidence 2.

Also, the Noir CD is a simple audio CD and not a HDCD (what's that, anyway oO)

HDCDs are simple audio CDs with (allegedly) higher quality due to tricks that allow a 20-bit depth in the standard 16-bit audio. If CUETools says it's HDCD, it most certainly is, and you'll see in the options the ability to decode to 20-bits.
