ima going to cry :/... but I think? it's a happy story in the end... i've redone my Folk collection ~ 100 gigs, about 3 times now. :/ don't read this ... it will make your head bleedFirst off... I've been working on splitting my single wav plus cue files into individual song wav files. No matter what, at this point, I'm keeping these single album wav files plus cue files as backup. I think it's the safest way to have the orginal cd info on file (gap settings, title info...) But,
I've been going through hell trying to create multi song files PLUS a cue file for them too, (if I was just trying to get the song wav files it would be no problem).
First off I tried using cue splitter from EAC and creating cue files with Use Current Gap settings for these multi song wavs... but this most of the time doesn't work and gives a cue file that doubles songs, leaves songs off, or ...it's just messed up... spent way to much time editing the cues and gave up thinking had to be a better way. Also tried reripping using daemon tools and my single wav/cue, but it gave the same problem... course I didn't notice until I was most of the way through ripping...So, I tried using EAC "Multiple wavs with corrected gaps" yea, I thought, the cue file looks right and on first play, it played... let her rip... get done and start playing songs... omfg, it cuts off the first few seconds of the song... on the wav itself :/ crymeariver..Been going at this off and on for 3 days now wtfWas going to give up on the cue files for the multi wavs... but found this program called Medieval Cue-Splitter http://www.medieval.it/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=28&Itemid=70
and now that I know what problem areas to look for, (spent the latter part of this day checking it out), I think it works. Will take about 1 min to do split if I don't change any info... but the good part is, if I want to change info I can do that pretty easy. Now that I'm pretty sure what I want for info, I'm ready to tackle the splits again. My cue files will be named automatically, %A(lbum artist name) - %y(ear) - %T(album title) - %g(enre) Pulls that from previous cue info or i add in. My wav files will be: for single artist; %A(lbum artist name) %y(ear) %T(album title) %n(song number order) %t(rack title); for various artist albums it's; %n(song number order) %A(lbum artist name) [which comes out Various] %y(ear) %T(album title) %a(rtist name doing the song) %t(rack title)What do you guys think? Does splitting the original single wav of the album retain the integrity of the file?
on there site they have this little worrisome blurb:"Known bugs:
MusePack split engine is a little buggy, at the beginning and/or at the end of the song, you can hear some distorsion."... is this for some other file type other than wav i think? splits sounded good to me, but haven't heard them yet on the main rig... will do that before digging to deep this time.
oh yeah, you'll want to know this too... got it from their site, but not until i figured it out on my own... hour later :/
"Why can't I play CUEsheet files generated by CUE Splitter using foobar2000?
CUE Splitter generate CUEsheet files adding a personal comments and using a Unicode (UTF16 encoding) file format; as it's default values. Unfortunately some versions of foobar2000 can't load CUEsheets with personal comments and/or saved in Unicode (UTF16 encoding) format.So to solve this problem you must open CUE Splitter and press F6 to enter into the configuration window. Then switch to the "Miscellaneous" tab. Uncheck the option "Insert customized 'CUE Splitter' comment on generated CUE sheet files" and select ANSI under the "Text encoding of automatically generated CUE sheet files" combobox.
Now foobar2000 can read CUEsheets without problem!"
