Hi Synthetic Soul,

Wow! I wrote a very similar command-line program before, but nobody on HA showed interests   . See:
http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=23488
Due to my web space, now it's available only at: http://nyaochi.sakura.ne.jp/xoops/modules/...php?cid=1&lid=2

It seems that people prefer foobar2000 to do this job. I should have written an English manual.

I should have written an English manual.

I am familiar with your LAME patch - I've used it before, but there's no 3.96.1 version.  I see from your other post why, and can't say I blame you.  Even if there was I'd want a 3.97 version soon...

Is the source available?  It would be interesting to see it after writing CUESPLIT.
Edit: Maybe if you give me the source I could write the readme for you, if you would rather not bother.  I should be able to deduce the syntax from the source... I think...

You see, I have decent documentation - it's just the application that's crap.

I will release it under GPL shortly (after writing the build instruction). And it would be very helpful if you could write the English manual. I don't have spare time lately because I've just moved in UK from Japan.

Audio CD Image Reader (ACDIR) 0.5 alpha  Copyright © 2003-2005 by Nyaochi

Audio CD Image Reader (ACDIR) is a tool for audio images with cuesheets.


USAGE:

ACDIR [options] command [command-arguments] [options] targets

EXAMPLE:

ACDIR.EXE --output %t.wav --extract CDImage.cue


OPTIONS:

--help or -h       Show usage information

--output name      Substitute 'name' for the output file variable (%o)

--extra-opt opt    Substitute 'opt' for the extra option variable (%x)

--track range      Specify track range to be processed

--targets file     Specify targets by an external file list

--overwrite        Force to overwrite existing output files


COMMANDS:

--exec       Execute expression for each track in cuesheets
             USAGE:  ACDIR [options] --exec expression cuesheet1 [cuesheet2 ...]

--pipe       Execute expression for each track with stdin redirection
             USAGE:  ACDIR [options] --pipe expression cuesheet1 [cuesheet2 ...]

--echo       Evaluate and show the expression (test only, no execution)
             USAGE:  ACDIR [options] --echo expression cuesheet1 [cuesheet2 ...]

--extract    Extract tracks to specified output files (use --output option)
             USAGE: CDIR [options] --extract cuesheet1 [cuesheet2 ...]

--find       Find cuesheets recursively in a directory that match the specified pattern
             USAGE:  ACDIR [options] --find directory pattern


VARIABLES:

Format:

{%|$}[#]<variable-name>

A variable begins with either '%' or '$' (for batch file use)

An optional character '#' quotes the value with '"'

Available variables are:

%f    Filename of the audio image (e.g. CDImage.wav)
%p    Path to the cuesheet file
%d    Path to the cuesheet file with substitution of '_' for '\'
%o    Output filename (evaluation result of --output argument)
%x    Extra options (specified in --extra-opt argument)
%t    Title of the track (e.g. White Album)
%T    Title of the CD image (e.g. Back in the U.S.S.R.)
%a    Performer of the track (e.g. The Beatles)
%A    Performer of the CD image (e.g. The Beatles)
%n    Track number (e.g. 01)
%N    Number of tracks in the CD image (e.g. 17)
%q    Double-quotation character, '"'
%s    Start time of the track (INDEX 01)
%S    Start time of the track (INDEX 00 if any, otherwise INDEX 01)
%e    End time of the track (INDEX 01)
%E    End time of the track (INDEX 00 if any, otherwise INDEX 01)


COMMAND LINE HELP:

--help or -h        Show usage information
--help-options      Show a list of options
--help-variables    List available variables with description
--help-commands     Show a list of commands

-h followed by a command name for command-specific help

2. @nyaochi : Is there any way you can provide an additional variable switch to turn the variable into a valid file or folder name?

E.g.:

ACDIR.EXE --output "%n - %~t.wav" --extract CDImage.cue

The tilde would instruct ACDIR to remove illegal characters from the track title.

I've only just begun to test, but I've already fallen foul of an illegal character, which caused ACDIR to fail on that track.

3. My WAVE files match those created by Foobar and WavSplit byte for byte.  There is a discrepancy in the RIFF header between CUESPLIT's and ACDIR's (byte #4 - ACDIR's value is 4 bytes less).  I assume libsndfile deals with this?  I have checked the header spec and I'm pretty sure mine is accurate.  Anyone know whether this inaccuracy in the chunk size (bytes 4-7) means diddly? "This is the size of the                                entire file in bytes minus 8 bytes for the two fields not included in this count:                          ChunkID and ChunkSize."

You mean removing characters such as :\?*<> which are not acceptable for a filename. Would it be fine just removing them?

I never thought about that because I don't use %t for naming files.

I confirmed this was a bug.  I don't use libsndfile for writing WAVE to an output stream. I miscalculated the value. Thank you for reporting this.

I'll update the binary shortly.

Ah, just spotted a problem.

Because you are removing all the invalid filename characters across the board you can no longer create directories.  The following will no longer work as required:

ACDIR.EXE --output "%A\%T\%n - %t.wav" --extract CDImage.cue

I get:

Extracting track 1 to Kings Of Leon Aha Shake Heartbreak 01 - Slow Night, So Long.wav
Extracting track 2 to Kings Of Leon Aha Shake Heartbreak 02 - King Of The Rodeo.wav
... etc.

However, you can't just allow "\", as if one is found in a tag it will cause problems.

I think you may have to apply to replace one tag at a time...

• freedb.org,
• a Winamp generated playlist
• or a CUE file

I'm using Flacattack as a basis to write a new program that will allow all types of encoders. It will be similar to M.A.R.E.O. but will allow you to encode to any assortment of image files and individual files.

I am currently using a call to wavsplit, but cuesplit looks like it may be more robust.

As part of the program, I need to convert an image file cuesheet to an individual file cuesheet. Do you know of any program that already does this or could this be a feature of cuesplit? Do you have the source of cuesplit available? Thanks.

I'm not sure if I'll get what you mean, but [a href="http://www.burrrn.net/]Burrrn's[/url] CUEditor has an option "Split Into Tracks - Create a separate .cue file for each track".

I had started a few weeks ago to create my own converter, but thought I might see what was already available. Do you have any good references about WAV headers? I'll probably just do a Google search and I'm sure I'll find something. I'll also have a look at your source. This doesn't sound like it will be too difficult to do though as you have desribed it (writing a WAV parser).

I read one of your posts about CueMake and the problem you encountered when dealing with waves that aren't standard (you can't just use the 2352 constant, which is what I'm doing). I'll have to look at your code to see how you worked around that.

Trace "  Samples: " & lngTotalBytes / (objHeader.Channels * (objHeader.BitsPerSample / 8))
Trace "  Seconds (old): " & (lngTotalBytes / (objHeader.Channels * (objHeader.BitsPerSample / 8))) / objHeader.SampleRate
Trace "  Seconds (cur): " & lngTotalBytes / objHeader.BytesPerSecond
