    Errors on CUE sheets using Multiple Files

    I'm trying to generate archival of my CD collection and have settled on .FLAC with .CUE sheets. The ripping process and encoding process works fine, but the CUE sheets are generating errors. I am using the process detailed here: https://doc.dbpoweramp.com/dmc/en/co...SheetImage.htm

    While I do see it warns that it will generate "non compliant" CUE sheets - the problem seems to just be that the data generated on these CUE sheets is slightly out of order. The "FILE" must come before "TRACK" however this encoder seems to put the "FILE" after the "TRACK" which causes the CUE sheet to fail on every player I've tried (foobar2000, VLC). Here is an example:

    CUE does not work in VLC or foobar2000:

    It is a non-compliant cuesheet, same as EAC writes which has to be in that order to get the pre-track gaps:

    When CDs are ripped into separate files, ripping programs normally append the "pregaps" (the silence or hidden audio between tracks) to the end of the previous file. The original CDRWIN standard for CUE sheets doesn't support this layout; it expects either a single continuous file or gaps placed at the beginning. Programs like Exact Audio Copy (EAC) bypass this by allowing non-compliant CUE sheets to be written for multiple files
