Ok i have asked this question kinda and got a wrong answer due to the way i asked the question. here is my problem when first creating my archive of lossless backups i started deleting the cues (please don't ask why) and since that time i have lost 5 cds during a move but have the lossless backups without cues. it was suggested to me to use cuetools to create one and i also looked into picard to create one as well and at first i thought what these programs did was create a true cue with gaps but after looking into what the cues that these programs created looked like i knew there was problem so what i did is looked up the cheapest CD out of the 5 that i had lost (World of Morrissey by Morrissey) that could be purchased on amazon. and to my great disappointment when i ripped it with EAC the cues were totally different and the CD i bought from amazon had gaps aswell unlike the cue created by cuetools or picard. is there any program out there that can created a true cue with gaps, also the gaps are appended to the back of the previous track so i know where they are if that would help the search. i know that EAC detects gaps but it won't do it if you burned a CD without a Cue using an app like burrrn. the kinda program i am looking for will either detect gaps from a burned CD that was Written without a cue or even process a list of lossless tracks and created a true cue meaning one with the gaps based on the list of tracks. I do Appreciate any help, Thank you

The value of backups!

Too bad you decided to rip as one big file instead of 1 per track. I only do that when the album sould be listened to as an album never as a track.

The bigger mistake was to then delete the cues. I suggest building the cues from scratch. Play them and note the time index as the tracks switch. That is the right way to do it. You know better when the track ends than a computer.

You could also check freeDB it often has time indexes.

You can also try just burning to disk using a burn routine that does not use cues. The cues are used so you can adjust the gaps. What you have is an exact image of the CD. Then rerip. That is the beauty of keeping lossless archives.
