Hi,

I have problems with some of my cue-files. My mp3- and my cue-file is in C:\test\. The cue file looks as following:

CODE

FILE "C:\test\sample.mp3" MP3
  TRACK 01 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
  TRACK 02 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
  TRACK 03 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 03:33:00
  TRACK 04 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 06:43:00
  TRACK 05 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 10:35:00
  TRACK 06 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 14:35:00
  TRACK 07 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 18:00:00
  TRACK 08 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 21:29:00

Importing works, but if I try to play a track, the following errors pops up:

CODE

Unable to open item for playback (Invalid path syntax):
"C:\test\sample.cue" / index: 1

Unable to open item for playback (Invalid path syntax):
"C:\test\sample.cue" / index: 2

...

Regrading to the wiki absolute paths should be possible.

If I replace "C:\test\sample.mp3" with "sample.mp3" everything just works fine.

The more serious problem occurs if I try to open a cue-file with more than 99 tracks:

CODE

FILE "big_sample.mp3" MP3
  TRACK 01 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
  TRACK 02 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 01:58:00

...

  TRACK 99 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 331:26:00
  TRACK 100 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 335:19:00
  TRACK 101 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 338:35:00

...

If I open the file a single entry is imported. When I double click on that entry the following error occurs:

CODE

Unable to open item for playback (Error parsing cuesheet: invalid track number (line 199)):
"C:\test\big_sample.cue"

The 199th line is "TRACK 100 AUDIO"

Are these known issues? Can you reproduce the bugs?

Thanks in advance
Christian

These issues are in fact known.

The first issue seems to be intended. That's absolutely no problem for me! I was just confused, as the wiki article has explicitly used absolute paths.

But the second limitation is quite disappointing, since there seems to be no comparable format to cue-sheets as far as I know. A workaround would be to create a different cue-file for each 99th songs.

Do you have better ideas?
