EAC - inserting too many REMs into the cue sheet.

Hi folks,

Recently, I had gone through some more rips and found that EAC is now creating a cue sheet with way too many REMs, specially for COMPOSER in the file.

Code: [Select]
REM COMPOSER ""

I'm not even sure if this gets to be burned back to a CD, as I read it is completely to be ignored, so...

Is there a way to prevent EAC from inserting these entries or is it here for good? The other way I can think is to manually remove with a script, but then things can get messy.

Thanks!

Not that I know of.

Ok. Thanks korth.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with a PowerShell and BASH script to remove the REM COMPOSER lines of all cue sheets stored in a directory or recursively throughout the directories.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

You asked for a shell script, but everyone needs a powerful text editor ... Notepad++ can do this.
I am not sure if it can undo if it traverses directories - it can when applying to open files.

As part of my foobar tagging process I run a bash script that amongst other things removes everything from the CUE apart from the essentials, so tweaking that for your purpose gives:
Code: [Select]
while IFS= read -r -d '' CUE_FILE; do
  cp "$CUE_FILE" "${CUE_FILE}.bak" &&
    awk -FS'\n' '!/^REM COMPOSER ""/ {print $0}' "${CUE_FILE}.bak" >"$CUE_FILE"
done < <(find . -name "*.cue" -print0)
That's if you only want to remove empty COMPOSER, otherwise remove the string [ ""] next to COMPOSER in the code.

It creates a backup first just in case something goes wrong, but obviously test it first on a backup
