Thread: process wav makes bad cue sheet when using gaps

Hello tonto

Just written a perl script that generates a .cue file for all the .wav files in one directory. No gaps between the files.
Here it is :
@files = glob ( "*.wav" ) ;

# print @files;
open ( CUE , ">Miles.cue" ) ;

$track=1;
for $file ( @files) {

# print ">> $track\n" ;
print "$file\n";
$cpstr .= "\"${file}\"+";

print CUE "FILE \"$file\" WAVE\n";
if ( length $track == 1 ) {
$track = '0' . "$track";
}
print CUE "TRACK $track AUDIO\n";
($title = $file ) =~ s/\.wav$//i ;

print CUE "TITLE \"$title\"\n";
print CUE "PERFORMER \"Miles Davis\"\n";
print CUE "INDEX 01 00:00:00\n";


$track++;
}

The result is in the file MILES.cue:

No need to calculate INDEX.

There is also a .cue command to insert a GAP between the files. http://digitalx.org/cuesheetsyntax.php

You could use the PREGAP like this : ( do not know if EAC supports this, try it )
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "Rudi, A Message To You"
PERFORMER "The Specials"
PREGAP 00:00:28
INDEX 01 00:00:00

Hope this helps.
