Full Version: ripped files w/ plextools. cue sheet w/ eac?
i had a cd that was very badly damaged and was going to take absolutely forever to rip w/ eac in secure mode, and i wasn't satisfied w/ the results in burst mode, so i used a friends plextools. i then compressed the individual wave files to wavpack w/ fb2k. now, so i can make a more accurate backup cd, w/ pregaps and whatnot, i would like to make a cue sheet for the wavpack files. i see the options for creating a cuesheet in eac, but can't get it to work. i know i am going to have to edit the cue sheet maually, but can't get it to work. is this possible, and if so, how do i do it?
Read this thread. It should answer your question.

Edit: Sorry, after re-reading your post a few times, I'm not sure the above is relevant really - but I'm a little confused about what you intend to do.
If you want to create a cuesheet in EAC from the original CD that can be easily adapted to work with your individual WavPack files I think you need to do "Action > Create CUE Sheet > Multiple WAVE Files with Gaps... (Noncompliant)". The cuesheet will be saved in the path specified in "EAC > EAC Options > Directories". Open the cuesheet and change ".wav" to ".wv", and possible other amendments.

NB: For those that want to create a cuesheet for individual files, as foo_cue_ex appeared to previously do, you can just use the following as your copy command ("Preferences > Display > Title formatting > Copy command"):
Select all the tracks, right-click and choose "Copy names" (or press Ctrl+C), then paste into a new text file and save as <name>.cue.
CODE
FILE "%_path%"$char(10)
TRACK $num(%_playlist_number%,2) AUDIO$char(10)
$if(%title%, TITLE "%title%"$char(10),)
$if(%artist%, PERFORMER "%artist%"$char(10),)
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK $num(%_playlist_number%,2) AUDIO$char(10)
$if(%title%, TITLE "%title%"$char(10),)
$if(%artist%, PERFORMER "%artist%"$char(10),)

my individual files are going to in this path:
when i create the cue sheet as you recommended synthetic soul, i get this in the first file line:
do i need to change the *.wav to *.wv, and the WAVE to WV? are there any other changes i need to make? and then for them to point to the wavpack files, do i just need to have it in the same folder as the files? thanks guys.
CODE
E:\Music\Delirious\Mezzamorphis
when i create the cue sheet as you recommended synthetic soul, i get this in the first file line:
CODE
FILE "Delirious\Mezzamorphis\01 The Mezzanine Floor.wav" WAVE
do i need to change the *.wav to *.wv, and the WAVE to WV? are there any other changes i need to make? and then for them to point to the wavpack files, do i just need to have it in the same folder as the files? thanks guys.

Personally, I would change it so that every FILE command only had the file name (no path) and then just have the cuesheet in the same folder.
If track one's WavPack file is "01 The Mezzanine Floor.wv" then change the line quoted to:
CODE
FILE "01 The Mezzanine Floor.wv" WAVE
Change every FILE command to a format like this, and I believe that is all the changes you need to make. Don't change the WAVE to WV - I think the only options you can use there are WAVE or MP3.
You can easily test once done by dragging the CUE into Foobar.
You should also check the setting used on Plex to extract as this can have an impact on the CUE sheet if the pregap on the first track is longer than 2 seconds. Basically, if you did not have Plex "Check Pause" set (probably the case), then using EAC "Multiple WAVs with Gaps (Non Compliant)" will produce an appropriate CUE sheet for you. Note though that you will have lost any pregap that is longer than 2 seconds on the first track (which is probably no big deal).
But if you had "Check Pause" enabled in Plex, and the pregap on the first track is longer than 2 seconds then the CUE sheet will be incorrect (think the Index 00 of the second track will be in the wrong place). It all depend on the gap/pause options you used in Plex, and if the pregap on the first track is longer than 2 secs (happens to me on about every 10th CD I extract, so it's not usual but it happens).
