Full Version: F2K Embedded Cue Sheet OFF Option

Hi all, simple question,
is there an option somewhere in F2K to NOT load automatically embedded cue sheets ?

I ask because I used to rely on Universalfront for mass transcoding of lossless CD images, but this program is dead & it seems F2K can do anything I need anyway, but when I load a folder full of CD Images with/without embedded cue sheets F2K automatically loads all CD images with embedded cue sheets as separate tracks & all CD images without embedded cue sheets as single file & when I mass transcode, I end up with a mess mixing single files with separate tracks while I would like to transcode them ALL as CD Image without embedded cue sheet instead of separate tracks no matter if there is or not an embedded cue sheet in the source file.

Thks for help.

If a file contains an embedded cue sheet (and is in a format where foobar2000 supports embedded cue sheets), foobar2000 will always use the cue sheet. There is no option to turn this off. I'm afraid you will have to use a conversion tool that is not aware of embedded cue sheets to get what you want. If it is a command line tool, you could set up foo_run to call it from inside foobar2000.

Thks for help,
I quickly tried foo_run but it doesn't seem to be my cup of tea ... I think I will get back to Universalfront.

Where can I ask for this feature to be added ? It should be quite easy, isn't it ?
For people using separate tracks it doesn't matter, but for people using single file, it's a must have:
automatic loading of embedded cue sheets makes mass transcoding with F2K impossible in my situation.

Very annoying when you know F2K is made for such task ... many mass transcoder softwares development stopped because F2K mass transcoding ability was making them useless ...
