Hi, i have a big mp3 file that contains all audio tracks on cd. In the cue file i have more indexs (for every audio track). The problems are: 1) How it was created such file 2) How i can write it back to a cd without loosing the tracks? (Currently i have managed to write the mp3 directly but in audio cd i get only 1 track so i cant skip to next melody) 3) when i try to open the cue i get erors: tryed on Nero, Alcohol and Fireburner!
With Exact Audio Copy's "Extract Image + Create Cue Sheet" function you can create single big .mp3 + matching .cue files from your CDs. For creating .cue files separately, there exist some programs - I don't know many details, only that mp3DirectCut supports creating .cue files manually for a given .mp3 file, but using google you'll find some other options for sure. Easy method: Nero, Burrrn (free), BurnAtOnce (free) and EAC support using .cue files for creating auido CDs with separated tracks. Best quality method: Use foobar2000 for creating burnable .wav files. Open the .cue file with foobar2000. The tracks will show up and be playable separatley. For prevention of clipping during decoding apply replaygain (album gain). Now decode to .wav using diskwriter (if the source file is not 44100 Hz sampling rate, use SSRC resampler to get 44100 Hz), replaygain enabled 16 bit, noise shaped dither. Use the separate .wav files you get with any burning program. Try opening with foobar2000 (drag'n'drop the .cue file) - If there's an error message, most likely there's something wrong with the .cue file. Possible Problems: - The file name in the .cue file is different from the .mp3's name - The mp3 file is in the wrong directory. Sollution: - Open the .cue file with notpad and have a look if there's something obvious ... If you want you can paste (at least a part) of it here. - Create an mp3 image + cue file yourself from one of your CDs using Exact Audio Copy and compare both using notepad. You should notice what's wrong.
I use Cue file. Thanx for infos... all! I had found a little program named Mp3DirectCut(89kb) which broke the big file into mp3 tracks quickly and update their id3 tag from cue file! So i burn those files and now all is ok. I will check that exact audio copy & foobar2000 software too (when i found them)... Thanx again!
