Unable to open wav cue file in foobar

I get an error when trying to open a wav cue file:
"Unable to open item for playback (Error parsing cuesheet: unknown cuesheet item (line 1)):"

I tired opening inside of foobar, and from windows
The online troubleshooter found no errors.
The wav file itself plays fine, but only as a single file without the cue.
The cue and wav file names match.
The cue file contents match wav information.

FWIW I can open the cue file in VLC and it allows me to select and play the individual songs.  But what I want to do is to save them as individual songs and convert them to mp3.  I want to use foobar for that but can't get past step 1 (open cue file with foobar)

Windows 7 and foobar  1.3.14

Attached are images of components (all updated), the first few lines of the cue file, and the file names in the directory.

Thanks for any help in advance

Rename the .wav (file and inside the .cue) to 1.wav and try again.

Archive this CUE file to zip and upload it somewhere

First, your CUE file has Unicode (UCS-2) encoding, and foobar2000 supports only UTF-8 encoding.
Open this file in a text editor and re-save it as UTF-8.

Second problem: double quotes in line 20. Replace this with something like
Code: [Select]
TITLE "'真なる癒しのポーションは神の血を示す'"
