Cue sheets don't seem to work anymore [a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=323304"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

The cue sheet parser no longer accepts errors. Your cue sheets are malformed.

I have lots of MP3s and cue sheets, which I have mostly downloaded from internet. I have made few with EAC, and I suppose that the others are mostly made with EAC too. Now it seems that 160 of my 163 cue sheets are 'malformed'. That can't be true!

Most common case of bad cuesheets is caused by people editing "WAVE" file type to something else ("MP3", "APE", etc). If your cuesheet files don't belong to those, please post samples.

Which part did you not understand? Change the MP3 to WAVE. This requirement is nothing new.

OK, I'm not going to argue with you guys. You are the experts and know what is the best for not causing confusions. Cue sheets with MP3-mark are bad. Now I understand. Sorry. You should close this topic now.

I have no idea about the ins and outs of cuefiles, but from what i have read on page 235 of ftp://64.251.26.164/pub/goldenhawk/download/cdrwin.pdf, MP3 should be a valid filetype.
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=323365"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Yes. As questions about the specs of the cue format has come up before, the said manual's "Appendix A - Cuesheet Commands" has usually been referred to as the closest to "authoritative" by various HA members. And it does state that valid filetypes are BINARY, MOTOROLA, AIFF, WAVE and MP3. So I don't know where those specs that makes it invalid comes from... But as cuesheets are used with many audioformats now sticking with WAVE is probably the safest anyhow. I haven't experienced any problems with consistently using WAVE for audioformats (I don't own any albums in AIFF format, though....).

When I load cue sheet and mp3 file in fb2k 0.9 beta 7, I can only see Artist, Title, Album and Tracknumber tags, is this intended behaviour?

Well, in fb2k 0.8.3 I could see the other tags that were saved in the mp3 file (comment, date, genre...)
