Problems with CUEs

Cueripper creates a CUE like

But Foobar complains that the index list is invalid.
It does not like the line
  TRACK 03 AUDIO
What am I doing wrong?

Btw. not all CUEs are causing problems. Only for some CDs CUEtools is creating a problematic CUE.

AFAIR foobar2000 doesn't like Multiple files with gaps (Noncompliant) CUE files.

There is a request on the WishList for an option to force compliant multiple track CUE files that preserve gap information.

Can I create with Cuetools in such a case a cue file which would work with foobar?

How do I know before I rip/copy whether the cue will be a problem?

Not sure why you need a CUE file for a file-per-track rip in foobar2000. A CUE file is not a playlist. You should only need a CUE file when you rip an image (multiple tracks in one file) to indicate the start position of each track within the file.

You can create a CUE file in CUETools. Drag'n'Drop Track 1
Input: Drag'n'drop mode
Action: Create CUE Sheet

After drive feature, gap detection completes and rip begins, select Pause and view CUE file.

or you could disable the CUERipper settings
Code: [Select]
Preserve HTOA
Detect Indexes
so there isn't non-compliant info in the CUE file

It's a habit and I also convert with foobar to aac.
And CUE = one-click, drag & drop takes much longer
But to be honestly I never made really thoughts. I always thought that using the CUE would be better for converting.
But the more I think about it the more sure I am that I was wrong.
