    Trying to use "Run External" DSP with CUE SIngle File Image to embed the cuesheet

    Hi
    I am trying to embed the generated cuesheet into the flac image created. Command is

    Program
    C:Codecs\Flac 1.3.2\win64\flac.exe
    [I would have preferred to use the flac.dll that comes with dBpoweramp but it needs to be the flac.exe, so I used a separate instance of flac that is on my machine)

    Command line
    --cuesheet="[artist] - [year] - [album].cue" [outfilelong]

    I also tried using the short version of[outfile]. Neither is not working. What am I doing wrong please?

    Thanks
    G

    Your cuesheet would have to include the full path to the cuesheet.

    Re: Trying to use "Run External" DSP with CUE SIngle File Image to embed the cuesheet

    OK thanks
    I have done this but still nothing is being added to the flac image.
    I decided to do a simple test to add a new tag to the image.flac and that is not working either. I have tried all sorts of syntax options for flac.exe but still not joy. Below is what I have to add the text "test" to a new tag called cuesheet

    I have "After Conversion" set

    Program
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Exact Audio Copy\Codecs\Flac 1.3.2\win64\flac.exe
    Command Line
    --tag="cuesheet=test" --output-name="[outfilelong]"

    I have also tried the following command lines
    --tag="cuesheet=test" --output-name=[outfilelong]
    --tag="cuesheet=test" [outfilelong]
    --tag=cuesheet="test" [outfilelong]
    --tag="cuesheet=test" -o "[outfilelong]"
    --tag="cuesheet=test" -o [outfilelong]

    What am I doing wrong here please

    Thanks

    Try enabling the Music Converter Debug mode (dBpoweramp Control Centre >> Advanced).

    Then rip one file and it should show the real filename it is trying to write to on the command line.

    Perhaps try the short filename, as it should work especially if FLAC is not able to open unicode filenames.

    Re: Trying to use "Run External" DSP with CUE SIngle File Image to embed the cuesheet

    Hi
    Have tried this and dont really understand what the output is telling me. I'm also unclear why the filename in this debug file is the name of the first track on the album rather than the album name (which is what the final output has) and also is not in the folder that it eventually ends up in.
    Have also tried using short and long filename and neither works

    Fore clarity the final output in the IMAGE subfolder is:

    Art Nation - [2017] Liberation.cue
    Art Nation - [2017] Liberation.flac (but the cuesheet tag with the word "test" is not populated in here. I am testing this with a simple add tag command rather than trying to actually embed the cuesheet)

    This is the issue, you see you use the CUE sheet virtual encoder, and Core Converter does not know the name of the final track, only the encoder DLL does. I do not think it is possible to use run external and that encoder.
