[codec] CUE Sheet Image Utility Codec

Re: [CUE Sheet Image] Utility Codec

Ripping to multiple audio files + a cue sheet does not seem to work with CDs with a hidden first track. The CUE sheet produced shifts the hidden track into track 1, track 1 into track 2, track 2 into track 3, etc, and ignores the last track.

Re: [CUE Sheet Image] Utility Codec

Hi, I'm having an issue with this utility codec using dBpoweramp 15. I'm not 100% sure I'm understanding the CUE sheet correctly, but it doesn't seem to be created correctly.

Here's what I'm ripping:


Here's the generated CUE Sheet:

REM COMMENT "dBpoweramp"
PERFORMER "UnderOath"
TITLE "Define the Great Line"
  TRACK 01 AUDIO

    PERFORMER "UnderOath"
FILE "01.10 - UnderOath - Everyone Looks So Good from Here.wav" WAVE
    INDEX 01 00:00:00

As you can probably see, it is not setting the pregap track correctly and every track following the pregap track is 1 track ahead of where it is supposed to be. The final track on the CD is ignored altogether.

I would expect the CUE Sheet to look something like this instead:

REM COMMENT "dBpoweramp"

  TRACK 11 AUDIO
    TITLE "To Whom It May Concern"
    PERFORMER "UnderOath"
    INDEX 01 00:00:00

I'm not 100% sure that my second CUE sheet (done by hand) is correct. I think there's either something still slightly off about it or my burner can't properly burn this CUE sheet (using EAC with configured drive write offset) for some reason. It does burn, but the CRC32 for the pregap track doesn't match the original CRC32. Instead of the original CRC32 (2CE41350) it copies with a new CRC32 of B438284A. That might just be a configuration issue on my part, but I wanted to put that out there in case I'm building it slightly wrong.

Ripping as a single wav file + cue sheet produces this CUE sheet:

REM COMMENT "dBpoweramp"
PERFORMER "UnderOath"

FILE "UnderOath - Define the Great Line.wav" WAV
  TRACK 01 AUDIO

The result of burning this CUE sheet is identical to the CUE sheet I made by hand for separate files. All tracks are accurate, but the CRC32 for the pregap track is again B438284A. For what it's worth, everything I've ripped has been ripped with dBpoweramp 15 with secure ripping enabled, ultra-secure turned on, and varying the drive speed on each pass. My test disc (a CD-RW) has no scratches and is completely spotless.

Ripping result from my handmade CUE sheet or your single file + img CUE sheet:

Re: [CUE Sheet Image] Utility Codec

Not one big cue file, one big audio file containing all the tracks from the rip, Daemon Tools cannot mount a cue sheet + individual audio files.

[hogger129]

Re: [CUE Sheet Image] Utility Codec

To mount in Daemon tools, you will either have to set the encoder as [CUE Single File Image] and rip to one big file (with no CUE DSP Effect)

or use another tool to convert the CUE + multi files to a single audio file, something like CUE Tools will do this, then you can mount it.

This is what I'm doing, creating one big CUE file, but dBpowearmp is creating corrupted CUE files because I cannot mount them at all with Daemon Tools. It just pops up and gives an error message saying it can't mount.

Re: [CUE Sheet Image] Utility Codec

That is because it is a non-compliant cue sheet, you would have to use the Single image file option to mount in these programs (including foobar) which cannot read non-compliant cue sheets

Thanks Spoon. I will give it another try.


EDIT: No go. Try to start ripping CUE file, it just errors out. I'm able to get it to run in R14, but then Daemon Tools keeps telling me it can't mount.

I am setting it to use a Single CUE Image. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

Re: [CUE Sheet Image] Utility Codec

How do you know the cue file is corrupt?

Tried to mount it with Daemon Tools and that's what it kept telling me.

Re: [CUE Sheet Image] Utility Codec

You have to uninstall R14 completely, because R15 is 64 bit, and you cannot have R14 + R15 on the same system.

This is the procedure I did. Uninstalled R14 completely, installed R15, installed CUE sheet DSP. Can't get it to work. When it did, it was producing corrupt CUE files.

Re: [CUE Sheet Image] Utility Codec

Doesn't work. I set up R15 Beta, can't add any DSP effects, the CUE file thing doesn't even show up when selecting format.

Works in R14 all my stuff is there, but when trying to generate CUE files it errors out every time.

There are going to be a lot of people happy to see this one!

Re: [CUE Sheet Image] Utility Codec

Thnx for the info/reply.

Re: [CUE Sheet Image] Utility Codec

>CUE Single - File Image

This is not in the DSP effects, it is in the Encoder drop list.
