I need some help. I have received some FLAC content to which the .CUE and Logs are missing. How can I create both .CUE and Cue sheet for these files (which are albums). Does it require any testing to be run via a software (if so which please).
Also is there anything else which I need to be weary of.
All help will be appreciated.
You can create a dummy cue sheet with Cuetool but it will be a fake.
It will not reproduce the layout of the original CD, because you will miss gaps & pre-gap.
I will be nothing more than a playlist formated in cue sheet.

You will need to locate and install shntool.
Then the procedure is quite simple:
1. ls -C1 *.flac > filelist // list the files in the order which you want to appear
2. shntool cue -F filelist > joined.cue // create the cue file for the filelist
You can then manually add one file at the time using the FILE designator just before the track in the cue file.
3. I then join all the flac files to form the wav (or flac)
shntool join -F filelist // this gives a joined.wav
or shntool join -F filelist -o flac // this gives a flac file
4. I then use metaflac to embed the cuesheet so that I don't loose it again

Hi, you can use EAC, EAC find the blank between to track an d creat the CUE FILE. ..But you must convert your FLAC in wav before After you can use freeDB.org under foobar to tag correctly the file.
2. shntool cue -F filelist > joined.cue // create the cue file for the filelist
"$ shntool [cue]: error: could not open input filename file: [filelist]"
Any clue ? I'm trying to create a
single cue sheet based on
many FLAC files.
Any solution on OSX greatly appreciated.
Best.
You quoted step 2 ... you need to do step 1 first (making the list of *.flac files).
