.cue file is empty/object not found

I don't know if there is a specific setting i missed when looking for issues but the program/player doesn't start when i try to play my .cue archive. You can look the code of the certain archive here:

Am i doing something wrong? 'Cause i have removed the "MP3" from the FILE line as i was supposed to, yet the archive doesn’t even start and says it is "empty".

I don't play Image + CUE on my device but in the CUE syntax
a FILE command needs a TYPE specified after the filename

Code: [Select]

FILE "filename" TYPE

If the original was

Code: [Select]

FILE "Radiohead - MINIDISCS -HACKED- - 01 MD111.mp3" MP3

and that didn't work, try

Code: [Select]

FILE "Radiohead - MINIDISCS -HACKED- - 01 MD111.mp3" WAVE

Edit: Valid file types are WAVE, MP3, AIFF, BINARY and MOTOROLA, so you can't just make something up.

Hmmm... Yeah. The file came exactly as you pointed out, with MP3 at the end of the line indicating the file type. Although it didn’t work the first time, i removed it, as i mentioned in my post i made yesterday. But it still refuses to work, even after replacing MP3 with WAVE. I don't know what i should do now because a very few people seem to have the same problem as mine.

Sorry for early misleading reply. I have just another quetstion concerning processing .cue file:
I have a similar .cue problem to use foobar at the Jellyfin media server sources. The music file type is *.WAV, foobar just simply recognizes the direct *.WAV file and can play it well. It just ignores the .cue file! But foobar can recognize and play local .cue correctly. I guess the problem exists in Jellyfin interface.

@Borconi Maybe file encoding.
Tested the modified CUE with a dummy mp3 on an old phone and works for me.
Android v8.1.0
foobar2000 mobile v1.6.4

Attached CUE is ANSI

Re: .cue file is empty/object not found

@korth Nope. Not working. I think that the encoding supported is UTF-8? I might be wrong, though, 'cause i don't know if the encoding was already UTF-8 or not. Also, i think it is more of a location problem, since Foobar2000 gives me a pop-up saying that the object was not found.
Edit: mention user

The original CUE specification says ANSI but UTF-8 is also supported foobar2000.
I only stepped in because I saw an obvious error in the text of the CUE you posted. I cannot assist further.
