I am having trouble creating a cd using autoflac write mode in exact audio copy

i setup eac and autoflac according to the readme and creates the flac files perfect

i am now testing writing back to cd and i get the follow message
ERROR IN CUE SHEET!
TOO MANY ARGUMENTS IN LINE 5

here is the first part of the cue file created by autoflac

REM DISCID 08110313
REM COMMENT "ExactAudioCopy v0.95b4"
PERFORMER "U2"
TITLE "My Hometown"
FILE "-ILE "Range.wav" WAVE
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "11 O'Clock Tick Tock"
PERFORMER "U2"
INDEX 00 00:00:00
INDEX 01 00:00:30
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "The Speed Of Light"
PERFORMER "U2"
INDEX 01 04:44:55



Line 5 is FILE "-ILE "Range.wav" WAVE

I've tried switching that to FILE "Range.wav" WAVE

and that returns the error FILE DOES NOT EXIST.


I am not sure what i am doing wrong.. i searched on google and here but was not able to find any threads that seemed to deal with this issue

please help!

If AutoFLAC has created a FILE command that looks like:


... then there is definately something going wrong. I'm not familiar with AutoFLAC, so I'm afraid I can't help there. I suspect that it has tried to replace:


with something like:


... but failed miserably.

To fix you need to change "Range.wav" to the actual name of your WAVE or FLAC file. You do not need a path if both cuesheet and file are in the same directory.

autoflac rips all the songs to the directory as individual flac tracks.. it also creates a cue sheet. when i try to run the write mode..it sounds from the readme like the autoflac will temporarily turn the flac files to wavs and create a temp cue sheet to write back to eac.. but of course i get the error.. i'm trying to get this to work without having to go in and edit the cue files.. any suggestions.. i am not sure why the cue sheet references a single range.wav file..

Check another cue sheet and see if "-ILE is repeated. I use AutoFlac a lot, so I'm speaking from experience, but I rip to individual tracks, test & copy, as opposed to an image. Setting the naming scheme incorrectly is a common error, so that may be it, but it doesn't look like it in this instance.

For the benefit of the others, I might add that AutoFlac, an add on to EAC, introduces a naming scheme in rip mode, and renames the typical range.wav file to a file name as designated by the user, as in "%A - %C"

Then in write mode, it extracts the FLAC file to WAV in a separate folder, similar to BuRRRn behavior, and opens the EAC CD Writer.

I attempted to recreate this behavior, and it did not repeat. I suspect this is a fluke, likely that the cue generated in the ripping process was modified in some way, adding the "-ILE text, between the time of ripping and the time of burning. Since the cue file has the 'range.wav' file designated, then either it was not generated by AutoFlac, or the naming scheme was not done properly.

You can also ask your question in the AutoFlac forum HERE, but I doubt the behavior will repeat itself.

This is the only way to contact so here it goes if you dont mind helping....
I was wondering if you know alot about .cue sheets ..... What I need to find out is if its possible if say you ripped a seamless cd (tracks running into each other) as seperate tracks.... can you create a .cue sheet from scratch to put the files together like how they are on the original cd?
Any help would be much appreciated

You could start another thread. The HA Terms of Service #5 actually states that you should not post unrelated questions in an existing thread. Sermon over.

If you have already ripped to separate tracks without also storing a cuesheet then you can probably never properly recreate the original CD. This is because the cuesheet can record pregap (INDEX 00) information that you just cannot store with the files. These pregaps would show up as negative numbers counting up to zero on a CD player.

That said, the pregaps are not a requirement to create a CD that sounds as it should. If you just want to burn a CD from your tracks, as long as you do have the gap information in the tracks, then you can just load them into a burning app, like EAC, Burrrn, or Nero, and create your CD. You must ensure that the app does not insert two seconds of silence between each track. I would recommend Burrrn for the job.

If you really want a cuesheet for your tracks (bearing in mind you can never retrieve the pregap info now, and therefore it is of little use) you could use foobar with the foo_cuesheet_creator component.
