In the purpose of making single file audio CD backup, I would like mkvmerge (with mmg) to use the artist/title/track#/genre/date informations from the .cue file used as "chapter file" to set the tags of each chapter... Unfortunately, AFAIK mkvmerge doesn't get the chapter tags from the cue sheet... why ?

For the moment I have to "fix" the .mka file with Foobar2000 and "Get tags from freedb". May I hope a more simple solution soon?
The second issue is that I would like to do it in linux... so for the moment I can't (Foobar2000 doesn't exist for Linux and mkvmerge can't do it alone).
May be a cue2xml script exists?

Bye the way, under linux to get the .cue we have to use cdrdao to get a .toc and use a toc2cue script. But the .cue generated this way doen't contain any artist/title/.... tag.
Could it be possible to directly use the .toc file with mkvmerge to generate the chapter point and the chapter tags? This way we could easily make a script to directly Rip an audio CD to a flac/mka file. biggrin.gif

Matroska uses it's own XML-based chapter markup format.

You can convert .cue files into Matroska's own chapter format with MMG: in MMG, select "Chapter Editor" -> Load (select your .cue file).

Now the "Chapter Editor" tab has some contents which you can modify if necessary. Select the "Chapter Editor" menu again and this time select "Save". This generates a .xml chapter file. Now go to the "Global" tab, and load up the .xml file in "Chapter file:".

Now the Matroska file has chapters.

Ok, but it doesn't add all the tags as Foobar2000 does.

Please send me one of those toc files with all the tags you want to have converted automatically and I'll see what I can do.

I've made a .mka file of this CD and I've tagged it with foobar (so I have all the tags correctly set for each chapter. Here is an xml export of the tags from the .mka file :

And I would like this kind of xml to be directly generated from the .cue file in mmg. wink.gif

The ISRC code could also be saved in tags (one for each chapter).
The different indexes should correspond to sub-chapters in a chapter (nested ChapterAtoms). Then you would have the exact copy of the data you have in the CUE file smile.gif

yep, I agree with you, ISRC code could also be saved in tags... but Foobar2000 doesn't do it sad.gif

about indexes/chatpers isn't that the good shema :

audio CD tracks -> matroska chapters
audio CD indexes (kind of subtracks found on some classic music CD to separate movements) -> matroska sub-chapters (ChapterAtoms)

Yes, that's the idea. Although Mosu will be adding a default mode without sub-chapters (less confusing for the average user).

So, could you "fix" mkvmerge (and mmg chapters editor) so that it gets all the tags from the .cue file and sets them for each chapter in the .mka (or .xml) file?
That would be very usefool and I could remove the Foobar2000 step in my Audio CD to .mka methode biggrin.gif

Like I've said, I'll see what I can do. It's mainly a question of spare time.

Btw 1: You can just use a cue sheet as a 'chapter' file on mmg's 'global' tab. No need to load it into mmg's chapter editor and save a XML file from it.
Btw 2: mmg's chapter editor will simply ignore those embedded tags.

Like I've said, I'll see what I can do. It's mainly a question of spare time.


Thank you! That will help a lot! biggrin.gif

Btw 1: You can just use a cue sheet as a 'chapter' file on mmg's 'global' tab. No need to load it into mmg's chapter editor and save a XML file from it.


I knew it, I use to do like this. I never use the chapter editor. That's why I would like the tags to be directly got from the .cue file. wink.gif

QUOTE(mosu @ Jul 7 2004, 08:18 AM)

Btw 2: mmg's chapter editor will simply ignore those embedded tags.


I know... I just tought that mmg's chapter editor could also be a tag editor. rolleyes.gif

Mosu -

That was fast! It seems to work great but it skipped the first track on the two albums I tried it with. Thanks!

*Edit* -- Actually, it's not skipping track 1 but adding 1 to each track number .. so each track is listed one higher than it is .. track 1 tagged as track 2 .. track 2 tagged as track 3 .. etc.

WOW !!! Thank you so much Mosu, you've been very fast! ohmy.gif
I've noticed the same track number tag issue ... for each mka chapter, the TRACKNUMBER tag is wrong (it's n+1 instead of n).
exept that it's perfect! very nice work laugh.gif

After some more tests, here is what need to be fixed :

- The "ALBUM" tag is not correctly set. The first TITLE in the .cue file must be used to set the "ALBUM" tag, others TITLE (the ones in the tracks parts) must be used to set the track "TITLE" only. In the same way, if the first PERFORMER differs from the others (and in this case only), it should be used to set the "ALBUM ARTIST" tag.

- ISRC tag is not set in the .mka file sad.gif

- It would be nice if we could use a COMMENT tag (REM COMMENT "my comment" in the .cue file)

et voilą ! smile.gif

Bye the way, under linux to get the .cue we have to use cdrdao to get a .toc  and use a toc2cue script. But the .cue generated this way doen't contain any artist/title/.... tag.

To convert toc to cue I use cueconvert from http://cuetools.sourceforge.net

Yes, cuetools could be a good solution for Linux. But AFAIK toc2cue doesn't keep the title/performer/isrc/etc... informations sad.gif

toc2cue is not part of the cuetools package. As I said I use cueconvert which does support the extra CD-TEXT information. tongue.gif

Great news! I didn't know this wink.gif
So we have a solution for Linux; we have just to wait the fixed mkvmerge and everything will be perfect. laugh.gif

All those have been dealt with, too. Hopefully correctly wink.gif

Here's the new build: http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolni...d20040710-1.rar (upload should be finished in two minutes, so don't worry if you get a 404)

Great to hear ! Its really nice to see so much progress around MKA lately, especially because of the many supported lossless codecs meanwhile. Support for Wavpack will be next to come now, and who knows, maybe matroska can become the standard container for lossless CD archiving, because of its advanced features for tagging, attachements and the ability to store a complete album in a single file, but with all the comfort people expect today smile.gif .....

Another good news: My new mka command line maker for mka is ready for download and testing. It's now called mka encoder and has more options! biggrin.gif

go here for more informations.

mosu, do you think it could be part of mkvtoolnix ?

As far as I can tell, MKVmerge 0.9.4 still isn't doing this. Not sure if Mosu wanted it to be handled by the decoder though (like, if there's an ARTIST tag that targets all chapters, then it would be turned into an "ALBUM ARTIST" tag in the player).

BTW, I like the current way MKVmerge makes a tag for the album, then tags for individual tracks. If the tag-writer for the decoder were smart enough, when you change the "ALBUM ARTIST", it would change the global tag and automagically change for all the tracks on that album. Ooh! The power! I like it! w00t.gif

Keep up the good work, Mosu! We love you!

I'm constantly working with Goldenear in order to handle that stuff better. ALBUM_ARTIST will never be used, though. Yes, we have the 'global' tag that applies to the complete track and not a single chapter, and this track contains an ARTIST. This is supposed to be what this thread called ALBUM_ARTIST (also because Matroska's tag specs do not contain an ALBUM_ARTIST tag, and I don't just want to invent tags).

Toff is working with Goldenear as well to improve fb2k's foo_matroska to really, really support the tagging that mkvmerge creates.

BTW: I've made some more changes to the CUE-sheet-to-chapters/taggs-conversion that Goldenear proprosed. You can get the latest build at http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolni...d20040728-1.rar

Looks good. I like knowing that Matroska is really going somewhere. Thanks again!
