ok. so I've read through this whole thread, and i have a couple questions:
i have an mp3 player in my car, and in the queue files in this thread, i see the word AUDIO. i assume this is because it's being burned in audio format. what if i am burning a data cd of MP3s? can i just change AUDIO to DATA? or will this not work?
also, where does this cue file come from? is it created somewhere, and i am to edit the file? or do i create it in notepad, and save it with a .cue extension?
p.s. i use musicmatch to burn, but i also have nero... |

The only thing you should change regarding mp3/wav is just the ending..:
FILE "Trance Night Vol. 8 - Mixed by DJ Nonsdrome.mp3" MP3
or:
FILE "Trance Night Vol. 8 - Mixed by DJ Nonsdrome.wav" WAVE
Se funk_e1's exelent link: http://www.regeert.nl/cuesheet/, there you'll find cue-sheets.
You can edit o them by just change the format to .txt (don't forget to change back when you are done) |

The beautiful thing about CDR-Win is you don't have to. It reconizes the mp3 and the cuesheet as mp3 but converts to wave while it burns. There is no need. |

As far as I know mp3 players don't support cue files. The cue file is like an imagine burnt on the CD to tell the CD player to change tracks and display CD Text flawlessly. CDR-Win was created to burn mp3's to wave on the fly with a cuesheet. I do know for a fact that Winamp does support cues for your PC with a plug in called MP3 Cue ( http://guerillasoft.nstemp.com/mp3cue ). You have to have Winamp 2.91 or lower for it to work. Winamp 3 does not work with MP3 Cue. Give it a try and you'll love it! The cuesheet will be displayed below showing the text while playing from the source file, the MP3 in one long track. Another bonus is you can see the cuesheet text so that if you made an error you can fix the cuesheet in notepad before you burn the CD. |

Yes unfortuneately most recorders don't support CDR-Win because the technoligy is so new. Honestly get a burner that is compatiple. Mine is an LG 32x's and it was like 50 bucks. It's so worth it!! |

ok question!
lets say i have a tracklist,example:
[000:00].01- Artist - Title [Mix name]
[005:30].02- Artist - Title [Mix name]
[011:00].03- Artist - Title [Mix name]
is there a program/script that can take the colored data from the above tracklist and print me out a cue sheet such as:
PERFORMER "Artist"
TITLE "Liveset"
FILE "Liveset.mp3" MP3
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "01- Artist - Title [Mix name]"
INDEX 01 000:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "02- Artist - Title [Mix name]"
INDEX 01 005:30:00
TRACK 03 AUDIO
TITLE "03- Artist - Title [Mix name]"
INDEX 01 011:00:00
if theres anybody whoose good at programing this would be dead handy |

hey,
this might be a stupid question, but I dont know much about CUE files....so I will ask anyway since thats the way I'll learn...
Is there a way to find out at what time a track ends and starts?
(i.e. the index of a track) or is this just done by ear?
Thanks |

Hey,
has anyone been able to figure out what to do with a set to a MD?
do you have to use a proggy like musicutter first to split up the set? |
|

there are 2 ways of doing this,
cut up the file using musicutter or a similar program. burn as you do w/ any other musicfiles.
or
burn the .cue in nero using nerodrive. this will create an image (wav) which you mount and then just transfer in eg simple burner as if you had a cd in your cd-player. |

I keep on getting an error message whenever I try using .cue files. It says something like use a large enough disk, or disk doesn't have enough space.
Can anyone help? |
