CueTools Template not Working on New PC

2016-05-23 19:18:35

M:\Cue Splitter\Converted\%artist%\[%artist% - ]%album%[ '('disc %discnumberandname%')'][' ('%releasedateandlabel%')'][' ('%unique%')']\%artist% - %album%.cue

I've used CueTools for years on a PC running Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit, and the above template worked perfectly for me, creating a folder with the name of the artist, eg. The Beatles, then a folder with the name of the artist and the album, eg. The Beatles - Rubber Soul, then the following song title format (01) The Beatles - Drive My Car.flac

The path would be like this for Drive My Car -  M:\Cue Splitter\Converted\The Beatles\The Beatles - Rubber Soul\(01) The Beatles - Drive My Car.flac

Using the same template on my new PC running Windows 7 Professional 64bit, the path looks like this - M:\Cue Splitter\Converted\The Beatles\The Beatles - Rubber Soul\01 Drive My Car.flac

I don't know what I need to change. It has to be something in the template, but I don't know why it used to work and now it doesn't. Any help would be greatly appreciated, because creating working templates for CueTools really frustrates me.

Different template setting
Advanced Settings > CUETools tab > Audio Filenames
Track format:(%tracknumber%) %artist% - %title%

Edit: The settings file C:\Users\{yourusername}\AppData\Roaming\CUE Tools\settings.txt could be copied to the similar location in the new machine to transfer any other settings.

I tried your first suggestions, and I kept getting this filename upon conversion. 01.flac  No artist or title.

So, I went into my old hard drive, dragged the old CueTools folder onto the new PC and I copied the AppData contents over as well. And, with no changes to the template or to any of the advanced settings, I'm getting everything working just as it used to on my old PC. A few weeks ago, I looked in the AppData folder for those CueTools settings and, for some reason, I couldn't find them. I'm sure glad I could find them today.

Thanks korth. If anything changes, I'll let you know. But, I think I'm good to go!

oops.
'('%tracknumber%')' %artist% - %title%
