Cue sheets
i'm sure other people use cue sheets in different ways, but i like to use them to help me edit the track in a music editor like cool edit. basically, rather than have one single track ripped onto cd (which is what you'll end up with if you rip straight from the original mp3), you can break it up into individual song segments based on the cue sheet, ie. when the next track actually starts. that way i can save each song individually. i will end up with a file for each track which i then use to burn the cd. the result is a cd that i can fast track as you would on a commercially bought one, instead of having to manually cue the single track. which in the pvd mix, goes for over an hour. the thing to remember of course, is to burn without the two-second gap. it can be very fiddly and time-consuming, but the end result is a much more user-friendly compilation. hope this helps.
