yeap, when you save, make sure you save as all files, then just name it something.cue.

oh and if you follow that format the cue has to be next to the actual song.

remember that all the digits are out of 60...so you dont have milliseconds. they have to be out of 60 parts of a second.

also make sure that you dont have any spaces after the lines becuase those will give you errors if you try to burn them on nero.

my files have alittle more info:

TITLE: "Live At Cream@Amnesia, Ibiza [8.15.2002]"
PERFORMER: "Paul Van Dyk"
FILE "Paul van Dyk - Live at Cream@Amnesia, Ibiza [8.15.2002].mp3"
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "Open Your Eyes (Insigma Mix) [ATCR Records]"
Performer: "Insigma"
INDEX 01 00:00:00

for winamp the cue and mp3 have to have the same name except for the .mp3/wav/cue whatever extension

generally you want the files to be in the same folder or else you have to put on the full address for the FILE part with the c:/ etc

can this be done with a music file. Say that is a wave that is an already mixed album. Say a 70 minute album. the tracks are already compiled together. or do i have to do it so that they are all separet music files?

^^^^
after the file if its an mp3, type MP3 and if its a wave then type WAVE...all the track times for the beginning of that track goes at the INDEX 01

cue files really works better with wav files.

Try this Thread out.....it helped me lots....

erm... sorry to be pedantic, but it's actually 75 frames per second.

An easier method is to use something like the mp3cue plugin for winamp. Tthere's a thread about it somewhere on here with a link to the website as well as a link to a similar xmms plugin.
