Full Version: mp3/ogg + cue files

I've recorded several live recordings on that formats (mp3 and ogg) and I've included a cue file with them because it's only one audio track including de whole album. Well, I've seen there are many software that acts as "scissors" cuting them (using the cue file) in smaller files (each track separately). My question is:
- Is there any burning program that allow me to record the file directly from the cue file (like *.cue and *.bin images) ??
I've read something about feurio, the only problem is, my recorder is not supported and I wouldn't want to decompress the audio to a *.wav file
Any ideas?

And at least, one more question, is there a splitter (using cue files) which support also any other audio format than mp3 (ogg/spx/ape/mpc...)

Well, that's all!! See ya! wink.gif

All I know is one doesn't exist for mpc. With ape you are better off using foobar2000 to split the file because it is lossless. Don't use foobar2000 for splitting encoded files because you would have to transcode/re-encode and that's a no-no.

burrrn. Best .cue/file support out there.

Thank you man! - I'll have to test it, because using split programs I only get that horrible minimum gaps between gaps (I'm not talking of the 2 seconds that appears between tracks, normally).

A better solution to splitting the whole mp3 file would be to use foobar2000 to play back that file, but use your .cue sheet to load it. Just drag the associated .cue sheet right into foobar and you can play back the whole file with the correct track indices. Make sure your directory/filename information is correct in the .cue sheet otherwise it won't load correctly. This is a great alternative to splitting the mp3 file because you get, 1.)Gapless playback, 2.)You don't have to split the file, 3.)You don't have to manage split tracks, 4.)You can use .cue sheets as playlists and you can store replaygain information in them.

Also, burrrn works the same way when you use a .cue sheet to burn a large file. All burrrn does is use the .cue sheet for the track indices so therefore it doesn't split the file at all, it just adds the correct track information to the file burnt to the cd. This = gapless playback as well. No need to split mp3 files because that's a crappy alternative (introduced gaps). Burrrn also decodes every file type it supports, so there's no need to convert your file to a wav before burning. Hope this helps.

Yes it helps, but instead of using foobar (I'm not against other software that can be even beter than the one I normally use), I prefer winamp and using the properly plugin you can open *.cue files at the same time you open the compressed audio file (*.ogg, *.mp3...). And it works!
You can grab it here:
Mp3Cue Plugin for Winamp
Although this version was intended to use it with winamp 2.x I've tested with the latest release (5.03a, I think).
Well that's enough thank you and goobye..

Maybe one day enterprises that develop such useful burning software (alcohol, ahead..) will decide to give support to cue files and compressed audio *sigh* I hope tongue.gif
See ya!
