ape playback with cue sheet (album=1 ape file)

2003-06-09 02:21:17

this seems like it would be an elegant solution, but i am not sure if there is a way to do it.

i would use eac -> image (compressed) w/ cue sheet. 

then is there a way to playback the album, with direct track access, without having to parse the ape file into individual tracks?  i currently use media jukebox, but would be open to an alternative.

also, when ripping and compressing (using mac.exe) in eac, is there a way to automagically put the single ape file and cue sheet in the correct location (ie. artist\album\"files") and name appropriately?  it seems that when eac creates the image file, it does not use any of the freedb info to name the file.

thanks

Yes, you can play the cuesheet with Foobar2000
or create APLs for Winamp with MAC.

yes, I think you can use APLs in Media Jukebox too.

thanks for the makeapl alert.  this works!!!

but, back to part 2 of my original question.  when creating the image and cue file in the first place, is there a way to automatically specify directory and filenames the way you can with ripping individual song files?
