Inline replacing of track-wise audia data in big wav file without spli

dont know if that info is preserved when ripping single tracks. Single-file images, separate tracks; it really makes no difference. Gap information is kept in the CUE sheet (and log if gaps are detected prior to ripping separate tracks). thanks for telling me this. I didnt know the info will be the same. however I somehow prefer the single wav + "the coordinational file" .cue bc i think it gives you a better overview. then i convert all to single flac file with embedded cue and tags.Once you process with foobar, however, gap info will be lost (though you simply keep the original CUE). If there's HTOA or a pregap before the first track greater than the standard 2 seconds, it will be lost as well. In addition to this, the original CUE will no longer be correct unless you make sure to prepend the correct data. Your situation perfectly illustrates what is probably the biggest problem with ripping to single-file images. hmm, well obviously you are one of the brighter lights on this board and when you confirm this difficult situation, then obviously there is no better way when I want to continue my Alt+F7 ripping method in EAC. I hoped that there was something like a command line utility like shntool which was able to replace audiodata in an image, well obviously there is not. so looks like I have to continue with my standard procedure with shntool split & join. as mentioned. this leads to what I want....but its real work everytime I have to go through that... my dream would be something like this:shntoolx repl -f big.cue big.wav 5 newfolder\05.wav the program opens the file big.wav goes to position of track 5 and replaces it with the audio data from 05.wav. do you know of such program? btw: just did a quick test with the foobar playlist editting method...which lead to fully accurate [no pregap cd]...at least now I only need to move around some lines in a playlist, some clickssome clicks here and there and finished. it would be perfect with a commandline utility like shntool.Or you could just rip to single track files (with the non-compliant cue sheet) and use CUETools to join them into a single file. It will generate a new cue sheet automatically for the single file. often that will not help for creating original-like images and for example with arcue.exe checks. I like to rip the whole image as a whole original-like picture of the audio-cd with al lindexes and pauses. not just the music for casual listening. the reason why I rip to big wavs is primarliy because most cds will end up accurate. then I have all set alreadyhow I like it it to be. its the seldom inaccurate tracks which make a hard life
