I am struggling with editing some older cuesheet which point to the wav files. I ripped to seperate tracks in flac.Now I would like to convert these to wavpack image with . I seem unable to edit these cuesheets so that foobar understands and I can convert them with this cuesheet embedded. I change all the .wav to .flac it still does not load in foobar. I could also unpack to wav first if needed but the result is the same.What am I missing?

Current files names are like this:

01 - Trip Like I Do.flac
02 - Busy Child.flac
03 - Cherry Twist.flac
04 - High Roller.flac

and so forth.

Cuesheet looks like this:

This sheet is noncompliant and as such is not compatible with foobar2000.

I recommend that you use Moitah's CUE Tools.

Thank you Greynol!
I will have a look at that program. I tried that but it always sid that it unable to find the wavfile. I looked through the wiki's but there was no information or guide about this tool. Could you recommend some users guide for this program?
Could I unpack these to wav,burn them with EAC and rerip? I have upgraded my computer and have a different drive now than I did previously...

Do a search and replace of all instances of .wav with .flac.

I tried that but its still does not load in foobar...What could be the problem?

Cuesheet looks like this:

etc

It could be a spacing problem. What program did you use earlier to generate this cuesheet ?
In the beginning of my experiments with cuesheets I noticed that programs won't allow tabs, but need spaces
Two spaces before 'track' and four spaces before title, performer and index

Can Foobar find your files when renamed to. wav ?

It might be something with that. This cuesheet was created if I remember by REACT. The names now match the ones in the cuesheet. When I convert those with foobar to wav it changes the filenames,so foobar dont find those either...

Some text editors change some multiples of spaces to a tab character. Has this happened with your cue sheet?

I have been using notepad in Vista. I will go look if that has something to do with it.

Or you can generate some cuesheets with eac to experiment with. I use the edit option in Burrn to edit things.
Things like: change .wav to .flac ; or WAVE to MP3

Argh! Stop this nonsense!

I can imagine that some crappy bits of software fell down with a tab vs space issue in cuesheets, but do you really think foobar would be so dumb? I've tested, and be assured that it is not.

greynol told you to do two things:

Replace all instances of ".wav" in the cuesheet to ".flac", to ensure that it is actually referencing the FLAC files that you have.
Use CueTools to convert the cuesheet to a single file version, and create your WavPack image.

I suspect that you have not done both of these things in that order.

3. The cue sheet is of the noncompliant variety and as such will not load in foobar2000.

Thank you all for helping.To defend the others who tried to help,Synthetic,they did not know was just trying to help,nor did anoyone of us assume that foobar is to blame.As Greynol said this cue-sheet does not load properly in foobar.I am just happy that previous work I have done can be saved through the people like yourself.
I did do as Greynol suggested but i did not know those have to be done a order. Greynol is a busy man so i guess he expects some own initiative too :)Indeed cue-tools is actually all I needed. There is some VERY handy options in that advanced button. It will actually do the renaming as well and even offset corrections.

Foobar doesnt understands noncompliant cue sheets, but why it should do? Just dragndrop the files to foobar and play them. Noncompl cue sheets aint to used by media players.
