CueRipper

I would like to rip the audio tracks and run the encoder in the background
today it's non sense , rip a track ,wait to encode and re-start to spin the drive to rip the second track and so on
it could rip all the tracks in a temp folder maybe chooses/selected by the user (to speed up , maybe a scratch disk) and encode the track in the background
beause rip 1 disk is ok , but if somebody do need to rip 30 cds , well it does become very slow
thanks ,take care

Would be great if the limites were extended"
Error Limits
More than 99 tracks - Exception: [Index] out of range
Track start position ~140 minutes or above - Exception: invalid stride

Especially the last one.
Isn't 99 or 100 tracks the limit of the RedBook CD TOC specification, though?
Where have you seen a CD with more than that?

As for the 140 minute limit, I don't know, but I suspect it's a similar situation.
140 is double of 70, which is the approximate duration of first generation audio CDs. Maybe they were counting on packing double density in the future and made room in the format for that. I don't know, I'm just speculating.

It sounds like you are trying to do out-of-spec stuff. CUETools is a CD-centered software, as far as I know, so it seems reasonable that it should follow the specification.

Indeed, but if it already has a time limit way above of what a physical disc can handle, it could be raised even higher. Same with number of tracks, so that bandcamp releases that exceed those could still be processed for example. EAC already gives up after INDEX exceeding 90-99 minute mark, while CueTools could rip longer "discs" (virtual image+cue), it just so happens that I finally encountered one that is longer than said limit and it would be great if it could process ~150 minute album. Maybe there's something that can be changed (cracked) in the source code manually.

Improve keyboard navigation when manually adding metadata in to CUERipper.

Adding in any metadata and pressing enter does not move down and activate the next field. This makes adding metadata cumbersome because a mouse needs to be used to activate the next field. If in track view pressing enter on the field correctly moves down to the next field and allows that field to be edited.

- add unicode support to cueripper and allow definition of character substitution

Specify filename pattern(s) for a number of files to be copied to the output folder. For example, "*.jpg,*.pdf"
tick box to enable.

I have multiple files with artwork including pdfs of booklets that I would like to copy into the output folder.

Drop free/gnudb in favour of musicbrainz in cueripper (both read and write, of course).

Agree - write MBID tags to encoded flac and MP files if the release is found in MB

This post is intended to provide examples to development of what I meant by REMarking out non-compliant data in the Option to "Force Compliant CUE" sheet for separate tracks suggestion above under General (so users can have compliant CUE sheets for use in programs such as foobar2000 that don't support non-compliant CUE sheets). See also Issue #179 and Issue #268

First an example of a non-compliant CUE as written by CUERipper, EAC and CUETools to preserve gap information in a file-per-track rip.

Below is a compliant version of the CUE written by EAC's sister program "Easy Audio Copy" (by Andre Wiethoff).
INDEX 00 lines are REMarked out and the FILE line does not get placed after the INDEX 00 line.
This CUE works in foobar2000 and gap information is preserved.

Andre handles the HTOA in an interesting way with Easy Audio Copy.
All the lines from the first FILE command up to the first INDEX 01 command are REMarked out. A PREGAP command replaces the FILE command for the Hidden track (HTOA) and the INDEX 00 command. The lines associated with the first track are repeated in compliant order.
This CUE works in foobar2000. Gaps and HTOA information are retained. The hidden track remains hidden and will not show up in foobar2000 with this CUE. That is to be expected.

Currently CUETools cannot parse the gap and HTOA information from an Easy Audio Copy compliant CUE.
Naturally CUETools would need to be able to parse this type of CUE in order to convert a file-per-track rip to a single file Image (keeping the gap information and HTOA audio).

Been using Cuetools for a while and I'm very grateful for the amazing job it does. If the following are not available, might they be considered as options in a future version please?
(1) Option to not pad track numbers in file names and tags (i.e. 1, 2, 3...9 instead of 01, 02, 03...09)
(2) Option to not write the 'Total Tracks' tag.
(3) Option to add Album Artist and Composer tags in the 'Select the best match' window.
Thanks!

CueRipper:

1. Add the ability to search and pull artwork from Musicbrainz as a source. They already have artwork sized to multiple options to choose from (and the quality is generally higher). Fail back to current provider if no image found. If not possible, maybe add an option to select min and maximum resolution images from current provider, and resize if too large on write.

2. Pull and write Genre Tags from Musicbrainz.

3. The ability to write %album artist% into tag, instead of %artist%.
