not understanding cue sheet errors, need help please

I keep thinking I finally figured out cue sheets, but then a new one will stump me, and I have no idea what to do.

I'm trying to open this cue in foobar2000. It will play the first track, but then I get an error for the remaining tracks. I thought console should show the error line, but it doesn't show an error line. Please, what do I have to do to fix cue sheet?

MOD Edit: move text for CUE to code

I cannot duplicate your issue. I used a 'dummy' 60 minute m4a file named as above and created a CUE using the exact text from above. Every track plays without error.
Syntax is not pretty but extra spaces and blank lines are not supposed to matter.
Perhaps it would be helpful to provide the 'exact' error messages you are receiving.

Hey, thanks for the help. I opened console, and this is what is says when I try to play track #2. Track #1 plays good.

Automatic resampling: using Resampler (dBpoweramp/SSRC), Resampler (RetroArch)


edit - now i'm wondering what is that ''automatic resampling: using  Resampler (dBpoweramp/SSRC), Resampler (RetroArch)'' line mean?? i thought i had everything on default settings, so what does automatic resampling resampler do?? sorry for so many questions lol

The CUE sheet itself is fine; I tested it yesterday replacing your m4a with a flac image I have.
Is the m4a itself ok? Have you tried replacing it with another?
I noticed you have DSP's active, have you tried disabling all of them? Alternatively, try the CUE in a portable foobar install.

Ok thanks for all the help guys. Yes I also tried fixing the spaces with the cue sheet myself, and i just tried the one you posted here, but it is still not playing track #2 and up. Also, I checked in the settings for my ''active dsps'' and it is empty. How can you tell I have active dsps?? I remember a while ago i was playing some SACD's in foobar, but i thought i reset all the settings after i was done with them.
Also, when i load the cue sheet in foobar, it does show track times for every track except the last one ''Won't Get Fooled Again'', has a question mark instead of the track length. Could that be a clue what is going wrong?

edit 2. ok i just figured it out lol. I had to double click the .m4a file, and not  the cue file. that was the problem!, Ive never had that happen before. everytime I've been able to just double click the cue file for it to load in foobar and play good. this is the first time the cue file would always give me that error with tracks 2 and up. but i just randomly tried double clicking the .m4a instead and all the files play fine now. I have no idea why. but thanks again everybody.
