What's a cue, sorry for the newb question.

Whats a cue?

Posted by SYNthSRI on Mar-08-2002 12:36:

It is one of two files (the counterpart to the CUE is the BIN) that is used in recording CD's via softwares such as CDRWin and FireBurner.

The file is nothing more than a text file designating track points within the BIN file (which by the way is a RAW IMAGE of a CD).

Yep.. a cue file sometimes comes with a big mp3.. instead of the .bin /.cue combination

for an example a 70min mp3.. thats one cd.. but ofcourse its quite a bitch to skip through 60 minutes to listen to last track.. so therefore you can use the cue file..

just open up cdrwin.. (when ya want to burn a mp3 with cue to audio)

select something like make new cd.. (top left icon).. the gold disc (woehoe)

load the cue file.. select.. underrun buffer crap protection if yr browser supports that..

i might also be able to explain how to burn svcds (bin + cue) files etc with fireburner..

so just speak up what ya wanna know

so your saying that if i have a entire CD in one mp3, all i need is a cuesheet to cut up individual songs thru the whole track? o_O

if so, how do u create a cuesheet?
i mean, to create the format
**opens up notepad**

here's an example of a CUE file for a MP3

here's an example of a CUE file for a MP3

FILE "name of the MP3 File" MP3
TRACK 01 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00 <-- start of the TRACK done in Minutes:Seconds:Milliseconds
TRACK 02 AUDIO
INDEX 01 02:00:00

ahh, the wonders of the internet.

I'm still waiting for Nero to get with the program and allow cue sheets on their program. I still have to cut up each track individually. sucks.

The new plug-in for Winamp allows you to combine your cue files to the mp3 now. So the next time you play your mp3 it will automatically be on there. Which means you can delete that 59k file have room for more livesets!

dude yr crazy to cut that shit up man!

use a different program like cdrwin

go here

http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...?threadid=36370

for some nice new views on cue files etc..

use cdrwin.. to burn yr mp3s (with cue) into wav..

use fireburner to burn yr svcds

use nero for data cds mp3 to audio (without cue)

thats how i do it

Posted by QuickStep on Mar-08-2002 17:57:

I only wish Henkie,

my crappy burner (Friendly *Something*) is not compatible with fireburner and CDRwin. So I'm freakin stuck, when I make CDs. It sucks dude. I only burn a liveset if A) I have alot of time or B) I really really like the set.

hahha, I'm screwed until nero makes a patch or newer version.

Posted by SYNthSRI on Mar-08-2002 18:50:

it's not compatable due to??

I'm guessing ASPI drivers, correct?
what OS are you using?

Posted by QuickStep on Mar-08-2002 20:49:

Bingo! my ASPI driver is not compatible with the programs of fireburner and CDRwin. It sucks.

I guess if I went down to 98se, I'm runnig WinME right now.
