How to do "cue points" in ogg?

Hello all!

Well, sorry for my bad english, as I can't express what I want to say, so I'll explain:

I've seen that, when you make ogg preview in Foobar2000, it makes single ogg file about 1.5 Mb, but when played in Foobar2000, the file has "cue points" inside it. To me, it looks like you insert cuesheet into mp3 id3v2 tags with the mp3cue winamp plugin.

How to make ogg file like that? I have ogg file, I have cuesheet for it, it plays perfectly in Foobar2000, how to "integrate" it into ogg file?

I won't be recording it on CD, basically, it's a DJ mix I made. It will just sit there on HDD and I will play it from time to time in Foobar2000.

I've searched the forum, but without result.

Thank you,

Ivan.

You just have to add a CUESHEET tag where you put the cuesheet file content.

I'm not familiar with this concept, but I believe that foobar chains the files.  This appears to be confirmed by the temporary "<name>.ogg.chaintemp.ogg" file that is evident when converting to an image.

This post looks a good place to start.

Thank you very much, this threads helped me a lot. Problem solved, so to say.

(edit) I will just add how I did it. I had wav + cue. Loaded cue into Foobar2000, got all tracks names as they should be. Then I selected all tracks, and converted them into oggs, it named them as 001 Name.ogg, 002 Name.ogg, and so on.
Then I trimmed names in Total Commander to be just 001.ogg, 002.ogg and so on, then selected only first ogg file, and from Files menu in TC selected Combine Files. It did, and I got big file with some generic extension. Changed it into ogg, and played it in Foobar2000. Automagically, I've got the same song structure, like I loaded the cue, only songs were different bitrates.

It worked like a charm.

Thank you all again.

I think you could have just loaded the cuesheet into foobar 0.9 and used Converter's "Convert to image with cuesheet..." to encode to Ogg.

It may be worth testing anyway; it would save you some manual work.

Well, I will try that also, to see if it works.

(edit) I have only "run conversion, single file output" option in my Foobar setup, which, not suprisingly, creates one big ogg file. And it plays like one big ogg file  so this wasn't really what it supposed to happen. I guess your option comes with newer foobar, which I will try WHEN they make enough plugins compatible.

Thank you.

Ivan.
