Hello,
I would like to create a Cue sheet from the following information.
0:00:00
Intro; Your Song (Hamilton 1999)
0:05:39
Skyline Pigeon (Hamilton 1999)
0:09:48
The Greatest Discovery (Hamilton 1999)
0:14:58
Border Song (Hamilton 1999)
0:18:44
Talking Old Soldiers (Hamilton 1999)
0:22:54
Daniel (Hamilton 1999)
0:26:58
Honky Cat (Hamilton 1999)
0:34:09
Rocket Man (Hamilton 1999)
0:43:30
Sacrifice (Hamilton 1999)
0:48:41
Better Off Dead! (Hamilton 1999)
0:51:40
Blessed (Hamilton 1999)
0:56:12
I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues (Hamilton 1999)
1:01:10
Ticking (Hamilton 1999)
1:08:11
Carla; Etude; Tonight (Hamilton 1999)
1:20:12
I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That (Hamilton 1999)
1:27:20
Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word (Hamilton 1999)
1:31:14
Written In The Stars (Hamilton 1999)
1:36:25
Levon (Hamilton 1999)
1:43:40
Crocodile Rock (Hamilton 1999)
1:47:57
Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (Hamilton 1999)
1:54:10
The Circle Of Life (Hamilton 1999)
1:58:57
Bennie And The Jets (Hamilton 1999)
2:05:55
Candle In The Wind (Hamilton 1999)
Is there any way this could be accomplished?
Perhaps with an action or script? Or maybe using some kind of chapter marckers?
I can do this using Goldwave, I type the time and the track name for each individual cue point, but there is data loss because of being reencoded.
I tried CueMaster but It will only let me spesify points in how long they are, which means that I would have to calculate the individual length of each track, whereas this is absolute from the beginning of the file.
Regards:
Melissa Cox.

I'm not even sure how a proper CUE sheet would look and which way it would work without errors. Anyway, would MP3tag be able to correct my CUE sheet so these tools I'm using won't report anymore errors? Thank you,
