CUETools.. Couple Questions

I recently discovered CUETools and decided to use it to verify a bunch of my old flac rips with AccurateRip. Seems to work great! So here is my first question..

The flac file names in most of these rips have been changed. They no longer match what is in the log and cue files. CUETools doesn't seem to mind at all. Works just fine... How is this possible? lol . Not that im complaining. Im just really curious.

Question number two is...

I decided to try verifying a rip that already says ''Accurately ripped (confidence 9)  [00D29D78]  (AR v2)'' in the EAC log. However, when i run it though CUETools it says
Code: [Select]
[AccurateRip ID: 0011f546-008f3ae0-950aa30a] disk not present in database

The second disc of the same album gets ..
Code: [Select]
[AccurateRip ID: 0012977b-008905ae-7c0cae09] found.
Track   [  CRC   |   V2   ] Status

Whats happening here? 

Thanks for any help you can provide

CUETools.. Couple Questions

Reply #2
Thanks for the reply! Still a bit confused though 

For the first question.. is it that the log file names match the ones in the cue? If so, how does it then match them with the flac files that have barely anything in common with them.

Anyone want to explain the 2nd like they where trying to explain it to their parents? lol

IMHO Cuetools cannot use such CUE sheet, so it determines track lengths using your FLAC files. So the information about pregaps etc. is lost and it cannot verify your disc.

CUETools.. Couple Questions

[a href='index.php?showtopic=66233']development thread[/a].

Q1.
CUETools behaves differently depending on input.
  • IF you selected the CUE file for input, CUETools would have attempted to use the 'correct filenames' feature internally to find the files then used the CUE+EAC LOG1+file lengths to check AccurateRip. If unable to use the CUE, CUETools would have thrown an 'unable to locate audio files' error message.
  • IF you selected the audio files for input, CUETools would have ignored the CUE and EAC LOG files and just used the file lengths to check AccurateRip.
  • IF you selected the folder2 for input, CUETools would have attempted to use the CUE and EAC LOG files first, then use only the file lengths to check AccurateRip.
1 If present. If the EAC LOG file was misnamed or there was more than one, a popup window would appear to let you select the correct EAC LOG file.
2 Selecting the whole folder for input is a 'batch' mode (as is any Multiselect or Drag'n'drop). For best results in 'batch' modes, all file names should be correct in the CUE file and the EAC LOG file should have the same name as the CUE (CDImage.CUE, CDImage.LOG). Popup windows are disabled. CUETools will first attempt to process the CUE and EAC LOG files. IF unsucessful, it will move on to using just the file lengths to check AccurateRip.

Q2.
CDs in the AccurateRip database are identified by disc structure information located in TOC of the CD. If your LOG file contains a TOC section, this shows the original CD structure. If the first track doesn't start at zero, this indicates a disc PREGAP. If there are more tracks shown than audio tracks on the disc, this indicates the presence of a DATA track. Depending on what Input was used above and how CUETools reacted to that Input, information gathered was used to create a TOC structure of that Input. That TOC structure was then used to contact AccurateRip. If it differs from the original TOC structure, the disc isn't found.

So for my old rips which have the original log/cues but have the file names changed... It's basically using the CUE+EAC LOG+file lengths to check AccurateRip. It makes sense but i still don't get how it knows which tracks to check for length hehe. Is there something in the flac container its looking at?

The disc in question has all these things, the first track starts at zero, and there are not more tracks shown than audio tracks on the disc.. I think.. lol

Does the fact that its a rip of the redbook layer of an SACD matter? I Still think its weird that it's "Accurately ripped (confidence 9)" according to the log but not CUETools *shrugs*

I know you're new to the forum. Please avoid unnecessary full quoting.

CUETools can read the metatags (if any).

I imagine it's possible the AccuratRip record was somehow lost. If I did my math correctly, the TOC in the EAC LOG you provided calculates out to the same AccurateRip ID: 0011f546-008f3ae0-950aa30a. You can verify that the TOC calculated by CUETools matches the one in the log by setting 'Create TOC files = True'. If you verify the files again, a .TOC file will be created (readable in notepad). The location of the file depends on your settings. If 'In source folder' is checked, the file will be written to the source folder. If not checked, it will be written to the Output location.
