Hello!

Can anyone tell me how to create a CD with the following layout using Exact Audio Copy:

Number of tracks: 1

Pregap: "Out Of Control.wav", 1 minute long
Track 1: "Pink Noise.wav", 60 minutes long

I want to use this layout for some tests.

Regards,
Sebastian

Would it be:


This may be of some use.

Edit: Sorry, to clarify: create a cuesheet as above, put the cuesheet in the same folder as the WAVE files, and then load the cuesheet either into EAC or burrrn (which also accepts non-compliant cuesheets).

I know you're a clued up guy so I'm probably teaching you to suck eggs, but i thought my original post was a little cryptic.

Thanks, it worked with EAC's internal engine. CDRDAO failed to write the CD as expected.

Ah, I wondered what you were up to.

That's quite interesting actually.

So, EAC will create non-complaint cuesheets, but won't burn them when CDRDAO is used.

Another plus for burrrn I suppose.

Strange that burrrn using CDRDAO will accept non-complaint cuesheets, but EAC using CDRDAO fails. Something that André could fix quite easily I suppose. It may be worth you raising it at the EAC forum, if you would.

Shouldn't it be

?

The timing refers to the point in the source WAVE file, not the resulting CD.

I was also a little confused, but I used the wiki page I reference as my... err... reference.

I guess the fact that it works confirms this.

Edit: I assume you meant 01:00:00 ?

Damn, yes. Time format is mm:ss:ff.

I know you know your stuff enough for that to be a typo, and not misunderstanding.

I just needed to clarify that we were talking about the same thing.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I have been given some cheapo cd's, so I was testing this trick out.

I used Burrrn 1.14 beta 1, and it didn't work.
The first time, it had just decoded all the songs then gave me a blue screen and I had to restart. So I used the leftover temporary wav's next time around. Anyway, it burnt this time, but track 4 had an error and couldnt write anymore.

Anyway, I guess the write error wouldn't have any influence on the first tracks, so I put the cd back in the drive and track 1 played "Danger Mouse" - the one I meant to hide. Solo Trip showed up as track 2. I saw no negative track times on either.


Here is part of the Cue I used.




I was also trying to apply it later on the disc with the same logic.



any ideas?

It appears this issue has now been fixed in EAC 0.9 beta 3.
