Support for EAC CUE sheets for WAV file tagging
Last modified: 2014-08-13 09:39:29 UTC
Exact Audio Copy (EAC) supports a proprietary CUE sheet format that allows CUE sheets to be generated for separate WAV files with gaps appended to previous tracks. This allows tracks to be extracted to individual WAV files (from index 1 to index 1 of the next track), while retaining the capability to burn an exact copy of the original CD. Would be useful for Slim to support this capability so that album/artist/track title/track number information (and consequently artwork displays) could be easily displayed for WAV files. It looks like Slim already supports standard (all disc in one file) CUE sheets, but not this (useful) EAC format. 2 example's of CUE sheets in this EAC format are provided below ... Example 1 ...

Still as relevant now. Would allow enhanced searches and would be great if this could be used to allow moodlogic type functionality on wav's.
Moving bugs that won't be immediately fixed in 6.1 release. Please review and update if this is an error or if this bug has already been fixed. Thanks.
I'd like to see this..... I like the idea of "one track = one wav file".
Long list of versions is confusing for new bug filers.
Routine bug db maintenance; removing old versions which cause confusion. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Dean doesn't work here any more :)
i'm not sure about EAC cue sheets, but i think they might now be supported along with many other cue sheets, so if thats correct, this bug could be closed as FIXED.
Unassigned bugs cannot have a priority.
CUE file support has been around for years. Thanks.
