I am having the kind of problem you can see in the image.
Many of my cue files display as one long file, this is playable; all the other files - that should represent the single tracks - are w/out track lenght, unplayable... just a list of... well the image speaks for itself.

That is just an example... many other files are giving me the same problem...

another example is here:

Thanks in adavcne for any help. I couldn't solve this pbl w/ search option in the forum, even if i suppose i am not the only one.
TIA

Thanks Franck,
but the problem remains.

Are the mp3 image and the modified cue sheet (as Frank Bicking told you) in the same directory? If not try to do so or adapt the file path and filename (with correct extension) in the cue sheet.
~~Additionally you have to manually remove the cue sheet from the database.~~

Yes. they'r both in the same directory.
for what regards the database, well this happens even if I launch the cue file alone, bypassing the database, simply double clicking on it.

In the first example I can see from the Album List that the filename is different. Change the cuesheet line to:

CODE

FILE "ellen alien - weissmix.mp3" MP3

(WAVE, MP3 and AIFF are all valid FILE types.)

In the second example the file is an APE. Change the cuesheet line to:

CODE

FILE "Portable - Version.ape" WAVE

Ok thanks all of you.
The problem is - as you noted - always in the cue file. I did't try to look into those files just because it sounded strange to me that the problem could be there. But so it is.
Thanks again to all fo you... I'll set right all of my cue files.

The FILE command is the only link between the cuesheet and the file that contains all the data.

If you are editing your cuesheets bear in mind that most (generally talking WAVE or lossless files here) will take the format:

CODE

FILE "filename.xxx" WAVE

... but you may also use:

CODE

FILE "filename.mp3" MP3

... or possibly:

CODE

FILE "filename.aiff" AIFF

The easiest way to ensure that the filename is correct is just copy it from Explorer into the cuseheet. You needn't have the cuesheet and file in the same directory (you can provide an absolute or relative reference to the file), but it is a lot easier to do so - and just reference the filename as all examples thus far.

Edit: also, bear in mind that foobar 0.9 currently still has issues with cuesheets using MP3 or AIFF as the FILE type. Stick with 0.8.3 for now.

Thanks
I am just editing the cue file, copyn'pastin' form explorer shell. It works fine, also the cue is always in the same dir as the file itself, so no need to edit anything else...
thanks again
