why doesn't this cuesheet work in .9b10, while it works just fine in .83?

TITLE ""Grosse Fuge," Op. 133"

I bet it's being treated as "" garbage "garbage".

hmm.. appears you're right.. i still wonder why .9 won't accept these anymore though

Synthetic Soul

Oct 30 2005, 12:37

Because it is simply syntactically incorrect.

It's not really surprising.

my point is more that they want to go for accessibility these days.. and i doubt any life-threatening probems arose from supporting syntactically incorrect cuesheets that forced them to drop support now.. just seems a bit pointless

As far as I understand the cuesheet parser is a complete rewrite.

I guess there are pros and cons for sticking rigidly to a specification. At least you know where you are with a system that conforms strictly. I think you open yourself up (as a developer) to problems if the system tries to make allowances.

My initial remark maybe sounded patronising - I didn't mean it to be. I'm just not surprised that the cuesheet parser is strict. One of the beauties of foobar is that it attempts to be "correct" in all aspects.

You can use two ' instead of ". Same thing for the reader but it works OK everywhere, including filenames and cue sheets.

I was just searching similar problem in one of my cue sheet. At one performer tag it had two " at the end of the line. It would be very nice if foobar could report in what line the actual error is.

Synthetic Soul

Agreed.

If the parser can spot an issue it should be able to report the line that was being parsed.

Can't the REM information just be included at the start of the file as EAC usually would?

I think you must be confused.

This thread generally seems to be about double quotes (") in a title value causing parsing issues when they get surrounded by double quotes - e.g.: If the title was:

12" ruler

... the cuesheet command would be:

TITLE "12" ruler"

... and this will throw an error in foobar as it sees it as:

TITLE "12" ruler"

... with the red text as illegal syntax.

The sugestion is to use two apostrophes ('') to replace the double quotes in 12" to resolve the problem, and also that foobar should report the specific line that has caused the error.

Drenholm

I'm not confused; my question is related to the cuesheet he posted and I wished to learn more by asking here. I didn't think that making an entire new topic would be sensible but judging by your reply it seems you'd want me to.

Synthetic Soul

Nov 15 2005, 02:09

No, as you appeared confused to me I was merely attempting to summise the thread for you.

I think I now understand your question, with the added knowledge that it is "off-topic".

Yes, I think you are right - those REM statements could all be replaced by one set at the beginning of the cuesheet. They only need to be at track level if they are different for each track, and they're not.

Okey dokes, thanks. Darn my curiousity!
