Separate directories with EAC WAV Files and EAC Copy Image and Create CUE Files

I have about 6500 CD's that I have used Exact Audio Copy to create separate directories containing
(1) the individual CD track WAV files using naming convention %albumartist% - %albumtitle% - %year% - %tracknr2% - %title%
(2) a single WAV file generated via Copy Image and Create CUE Sheet Uncompressed.

What I'd like to do is mass edit the CUE files generated via EAC in (2) to change the name of the files generated via EAC Tools -> Split WAV by CUE -> With gaps from:
%tracknr2% - %title% to
%albumartist% - %albumtitle% - %year% - %tracknr2% - %title%

I've played around with CUETOOLS Correct filenames but have been unable to figure out how to do this.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Changing [Correcting] the filename of the Image file isn't going to change the way the individual track files are named when the Image is split.

I edited this CUE file by hand and manually changed the TITLE entry. this is what I want to do for 6000+ CUE files

I've played around with CUETOOLS Correct filenames but have been unable to figure out how to do this.
'Correct filenames' is for correcting the filenames contained in the CUE sheet, not for modifying the tags.

Why do you want to corrupt the TITLE tag given that it looks like you have a master set (1) - hopefully properly tagged - anyway?

Correct filenames in CUETools corrects the location/filename or extension in the FILE command
Code: [Select]
FILE "Carly Pearce - 29_ Written in Stone.wav" WAVE
It does not change the TITLE command.

You could use CUETools to split the Image + CUE into tracks to simulate what Split WAV by CUE does in EAC.
If you're interested, I'll help with the templates and setting changes.

Because I would like to change the file naming convention from what it originally was (and still is) for 5500 CD's :
%albumartist% - %albumtitle% - %year% - %title% - %tracknr2% to
%albumartist% - %albumtitle% - %year% - %tracknr2% - %title%

This would allow me to sort them alphabetically by track number which would allow me to quickly use WAVTOOLS to create a single WAV file and CUETOOLS to verify the accuracy of said WAV file.

Some of these WAV files were used to create MP3's over 10 years ago using DBPowerAmp and I'd also like to rerip the entire collection with updated MP3s

That would be awesome, I tried to create a template but could not figure it out. CUETOOLS is an absolutely amazing tool (I just discovered the repair option) but is difficult to navigate due to the many layers of complexity.

Desired template (I think) is %albumartist% - %albumtitle% - %year% - %tracknr2% - %title%

Changing the TITLE tag in the CUE sheet achieves none of that, but I understand that you now want to split your WAV+CUE into tracks, which makes sense as CUE+WAV is a terrible way to store your music.

You've lost me again. You want to split a single WAV+CUE to tracks, so that you can create a single WAV file again using ?WAVTOOLS? and use CUETools to verify it!

It might be easier if you described the problem you're trying to address.

Sorry for the confusion.
Right now when I use EAC to Split WAV by CUE Sheets using the single WAV created in option (2) it works fine but the files created are named  %tracknr2% - %title%. I want to them to be named  %albumartist% - %albumtitle% - %year% - %tracknr2% - %title%.
I've successfully edited a CUE file by hand and changed original TITLE (here's an example of 1 of 15 tracks edited) from
TITLE "Never Wanted to Be That Girl" to
TITLE "Carly Pearce featuring Ashley McBryde - 29- Written in Stone - 2021  - 08 - Never Wanted to Be That Girl"

I want to do this for 6000 CUE files

The use of WAVTOOLS comes in when I successfully EAC extract all the WAV files but occasionally get an error extracting the single WAV file, now that the WAV files are in alphabetical order I simple use WAVTOOLS for create an accurately ripped WAV. With my prior naming convention I had to spend a few minutes reordering the tracks in WAVTOOLS since they were not created and hence did not load in track sequence in WAVTOOLS

Using CUETools to simulate EAC's Split WAV by CUE sheet > with Gaps
This guide assumes the default settings are being used but should get you started.

The output template I'm using is
Code: [Select]
[%directoryname%\]%filename%-split[%unique%].cue
This will create the Multiple files with gaps (Noncompliant) CUE file and track files in the source folder similar to what EAC's Split WAV by CUE sheet does.
I would also untick the 'Edit Tags' box (outlined in red).



In settings you need to change the 'Audio Filenames Track format' on the CUETools tab to
Code: [Select]
%album artist% - %album%[ - %year%] - %tracknumber% - %title%
I've made %year% conditional that it exists. This template should work on CUE files created by EAC and CUETools/CUERipper but if there are any issues with %album artist% tag (missing) try
Code: [Select]
$if2(%album artist%,%artist%) - %album%[ - %year%] - %tracknumber% - %title%
'Keep original filenames' should be unticked



On the Tagging tab, untick 'Extract album art to'.



Drag and drop the CUE file from (2) into the Input: box of CUETools to test.

Awesome, thank you so much. I'll let you know how it goes :-)

OK, I just tested it out on a couple of CD's and I AM UTTERLY AMAZED.
It matches the EAC output WAV file byte for byte.
Holy birdbrain bullseye korth, I've always known CUETOOLS was a cool tool but now it's been elevated to STUNNINGLY AMAZING.
Thank you SO MUCH for helping me :-)
