k thanx... so am i gonna sound like a complete retard if i ask where do i get a .cue file or how do i make one?

A .cue file is just a text file that references a disc image (usually of .bin extension) or an audio track (.wav or .mp3) and has information on track markers and CD TEXT and nice things like that.

I've made .cue files two ways, both which are fairly time-consuming and inefficient. (perhaps someone can post a better and faster solution =)

1. Using an existing audio cue file as reference, basically copy the structure and update the artist/track/time information to reflect your own audio. Time values are found by trial and error, and verified by listening with a media player that supports .cue files (player of choice: foobar2000). Times can also be found by listening (and seeing the waveform) in your wave editor.

2. In the wave editor, listen and split the audio into different tracks. In your favorite CD burning program (prog. of choice: Nero Burning ROM 6), create an audio CD and add tracks in order. Change gap times from tracks 2->num(tracks) to 0 (defaults to 2, most of the time). Burn CD.
Although this doesn't create a .cue file, you could probably glean the track times or stuff from the program, or use some program to create a cue file from the CD. Of course, that kind of defeats the purpose...

On the topic of burning .cue'd mp3s to CD (eg. preserving the track information), I use a program called Burrrn. I'm sure if you google it, there will be more information about it. Took me a while to find a program that would burn audio .cues.

If that doesnt work for you try opening any cue file you have already with wordpad. You can then alter the details to suit your mix and it will work.

i did that to do the 2nd cue sheet i made...but my next question is... how do i upload a mix that is cued without having to have peple download each individual track??

Posted by |Thrax| on Jan-03-2007 20:57:

you give them both the whole mp3 with the cue file and then the receiving party can burn it with any audio program that supports cue.

chop up the mix at the specified cue points and burn all the seperate tracks at disc-at-once mode. simple as that.

k...wasnt sure if it was possible to upload a cued mp3 this way they could download it just as if it was a normal cd...but then again, if a person is too lazy just to move the little slider over on their player then they are just pathetic....
