WMP WAV to FLAC w/ MetaData + Album Art

[thejamesjr]

I have recently updated and ripped my entire CD collection to FLAC. I'm trying to move away from my old WMP WAV format. I have about 40 CD's missing though, so I obviously can't rip those. They are all ripped in WMP WAV lossless format, multiple tracks/files and no Cue Sheets. When I tried converted them to FLAC with dBpoweramp, there is no MetaData or Album Art.

I tried burning one of the albums to a CD with ImgBurn, so than I could rip to FLAC, but it results in having 1 single track of the entire album. Than I thought maybe an easier way would be to create an ISO image, mount it onto a virtual drive, than rip it to FLAC with dBpoweramp. But this attempt failed as well. Basically my question is, how can I convert WAV (originally ripped with WMP) to FLAC with dBpoweramp (MetaData + Album Art)?

Re: WMP WAV to FLAC w/ MetaData + Album Art

I figured out how to burn my WAV music onto a CD and rip with dBpoweramp!

First I tried opening Cue Sheet *1 with EAC, but I was getting this error message "Error in cue sheet! File does not exist in line 7". ImgBurn was also giving me an error message "File does not exist! File name: 01 White Flag .wav". Afterwards I installed a program called CUETools. I dropped all the songs from the album into the program as instructed and in create Cue Sheet *2 and it worked! I was able to create a CD with ImgBurn from this cue sheet. All the MetaData showed up and I ripped from the CD to FLAC.

Why does the Accuraterip results look like this though, usually it has numbers in it & all green? X AR (grey font) Check Mark (green font) Secure (black font) CRC Code (green font).
Also, why didn't Cue Sheet *1 work, but *2 did?

Re: WMP WAV to FLAC w/ MetaData + Album Art

From what I posted above... can anyone explain why when opening Cue Sheet 1 with EAC or ImgBurn gives an error, but Cue Sheet 2 works perfectly fine?
