CUETools versions 1.9.5 through 2.1.5 (current)

Reply #2700

Follow me. I have decided to check up some rips by which did itself by Exact Audio Copy from firm disks. I converting my rips by foobar2000 into flac image with embedded cuesheet. Any has coincided on base accuraterip though broad gulls EAC suggest otherwise. After careful searches I have detected such thing.
It appears at converting with parametre "convert to album images with cuesheets or chapters", foobar removes pregaps from cue of an image and the copy of the compressed image turns out not ideal. Somehow it is possible to solve this problem?
G9!

I have not yet got to do this:
I have a few thousand CD rips which I know were upon time of ripping verified Accurate (by dBpoweramp) with - except possibly a handful - no duplicate submissions. I'd like to run CUETools just to help populate the CTDB database. What settings should I use to be sure I do this correctly on first try?

The CUETools app will only submit to CTDB when using Verify if the CD does not exist in the database and there are two or more AccurateRip matches.
The setting is Settings>Advanced tab>CTDB>Submit to CTDB=True
To properly identify some rips for the correct AccurateRip ID (rips that had a Track 1 pregap and/or a data track), CUETools can use the CUE file, CUERipper or EAC log file, or specific tags in the audio file. I could list scenarios but perhaps you could give more info about your rips so I could narrow it down.
For example: CUETools can't read the dBpoweramp log file but can read the AccurateRip tags in the audio file (if they exist) to identify the CD.

Not sure if this is a known bug, but CUETools seems to refuse multiple apostrophes. Tried to AR-verify albums with the following directorynames (and corresponding album tags ...)


Nope, the album tags had a quotation mark ".  Which is an illegal filename character yes - but CUETools reacts even when I had not told it to use it in any output filename.

If you have Settings>AccurateRip tab>Verify>Write AccurateRip log checked and Settings>AccurateRip tab>Verify>In source folder checked, CUETools will save the log to the source folder.
If you have Settings>AccurateRip tab>Verify>Write AccurateRip log checked and Settings>AccurateRip tab>Verify>In source folder unchecked, CUETools will try to save the log to the Output path (creating folders as needed).
The default name for the log is %filename%.accurip where %filename% is the base name of the file used in Input.

Edit: added more info on the log file

I'm having trouble following this translation. I think you are referring to a PREGAP command in the original cuesheet. Do you have the original CUE files? If so, could you post the text from one of them (in a CODEBOX please)?

For example: CUETools can't read the dBpoweramp log file but can read the AccurateRip tags in the audio file (if they exist) to identify the CD.


* They are ripped as one folder per physical disc, one file per track without cuesheets using dBpoweramp, and they have dBp's ACCURATERIPDISCID tag, e.g. 012-000ff634-00948be5-a408630c-11. 
Earlier IIRC, CUETools could not read those, but I can easily auto-populate them with the ACCURATERIPID tag (in this case 000ff634-00948be5-a408630c - is upper case necessary?)

* Exception: those with track 1 pregap (HTOA). dBpoweramp stores those - provided they are long enough, I presume - as a separate file with track number 0.
As far as I can tell, CUETools fails to handle those folders. I got merely 20 of them (well I got more, but those are the ones that were verified accurate when I ripped them).

That's right, it needs to be the ACCURATERIPID tag and lower case in 000ff634-00948be5-a408630c is fine.
If the ID includes track 1 pregap and/or a data track, the message
Using preserved id, actual id is xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx
would be added to the accurip log.

actual id = 0029f332-020751d1-f0128c10
hex 10=16 tracks

ACCURATERIPID tag = 00293975-01d790b7-e612670f
hex 0f=15 tracks

I assume the HTOA file has tags so CUETools is grouping it as an additional Track (not hidden). I tested it with a CUETools HTOA file (it has no tags) and it worked correctly.


EDIT: Checked an Easy Audio Copy rip with a tagged HTOA and it reacts the same way as yours (grouping the HTOA file as an additional track).

Right.  Well, wiping tags is out of the question (wishlist item for CUETools: treat files tagged with track number 0 as HTOA), but I may just temporarily use Bulk Rename Utility to change suffix to .flacHTOAflac and back later, or ignore those twenty.

Alright, I agree that I didn't go deep into it when writing that post. But I'm right that the venerable authors don't pay much attention to feedback.

I thought that the project is obsolete because I saw the page with FLACCL - the tool I use; that page offers FLACCL v. 0.3.

I'm encountering a problem with FLACCL. It doesn't support 24-bit/192 kHz WAV. The "Bugs" page on Source forge is abandoned. Where do I post bug report?

It's true that only 16-bit 44.1 kHz audio can be burned to audio CD (if you have some other format, it didn't come directly from CD), but there's no reason CUETools couldn't go ahead and convert the files anyway. The fact that it won't is yet another example of software, on principle, refusing to work with cue sheets which are being used for something more than what they were designed for.

For now, for splitting your (most likely pirated) non-CD-sourced audio, I would just use foobar2000. Drag the .cue into the playlist, make sure all the tracks are highlighted, right-click on one, Convert, choose "..." to set up the converter to output separate files in whatever format you want. The interface takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be using it for everything. The downside is that it won't make a file-per-track/non-compliant cue sheet to go along with the split files, but for real CD rips it's no problem for CUETools to do that later.

Many thanks for that advice, however, I used AIMP. foobar2000 repels me by its interface. =)

I guess CUETools is no use for something different from audio CD.

*looks at page count and recalls staggering number of topic changes in this thread*
*considers possibility that greynol is joking*

Anyway, perhaps I should be more direct:

CUETools warning the user that the audio is not Red Book is good, but refusing to operate on it seems like an unnecessary restriction. Lifting that restriction is a feature request which I hope Gregory will take into consideration.

Argument pro: HDCD rips decoded to 24 bits. CUETools even supports the decoding, but produces files it then refuses to handle.

(Decoding HDCD upon ripping to lossless is bad, though.)

I've two suggestions about:

CUETools.exe /verify <cuefilename>   verify an image using AccurateRip database.
ArCueDotNet.exe <cuefilename>   console version of AccurateRip verification.

Please add two options to CUETools.exe (/verify mode):

/offset: specify an offset to be used during the AccurateRip verification.
/verbose: activate verbose mode so that CTDB information are also shown (exactly the same of ArCueDotNet.exe -v).

And one option to ArCueDotNet.exe:

-offset: specify an offset to be used during the AccurateRip verification.

Do you think it would be possible to add them?
