EAC 1.6 and CUE sheets

2020-12-01 12:04:55

Hi all,

New to this, as I can't find a supportforum from EAC.

I'm having an issue with EAC and creating CUE-sheets.

Steps:
1) Detect Gaps
2) Test Gaps on Silence
3) Create CUE sheet > Multiple Wave files with Gaps (Non-compliant)

After I've ripped and try to use the CUE sheet it gives me an error:

Unable to open item for playback (Error parsing cuesheet: invalid index list (line 28)):
"Tiamat [1994] [EP] Gaia (Century Media 77089-2)\Gaia (EP).cue"

I've thried Methods a through C with both Accurate and Secure. No results.

What is wrong?

You didn't state what program gave the error. Some programs won't accept a noncompliant CUE sheet created by EAC (e.g. foobar2000).

Unfortunately, this format is non-compliant; this type of rip, despite its popularity, was not supported by the original DAO and CDRWIN software for which cue sheets were designed. Applications that adhere to the cue sheet specification, like foobar2000, will not be able to read it.

Aha, I indeed used foobar to check the cuesheet. Thanks!
