[SOLVED] cue files

tushma

I have raspberry pi connected to my integrated amp, controling from laptop HP PC via Volumino local, with 16/44 flac files stored on popcorn hour C-200 HDD as SMB NAS. Some files are only album cue files, and I cant get them splited into tracks in Volumino GUI. On popcorn hour music player and Raspbmc music library while pressing cue file, it splits into full album tracks. On Runeaudio is the same issue as on Volumino. Does someone have same problem as I? Thnx in advance!

Hi tushma,
.cue files are supported by MPD since 0.17 version. You can manually test it following these instructions:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Music_Player_Daemon/Tips_and_tricks#Cue_Files
But we choose to not display them in the UI, filtering the MPD response during the parsing.
We could change this behaviour in the future, introducing an option to display them.

In the meanwhile, let me suggest you a workaround for your problem. If you are a PC user, there's a wonderful and free tool called Medieval CUE Splitter which allows you to split the single FLAC file into multiple tracks based on the info contained in the CUE file, and everything is full automated. I use it as I prefer to have a separate file for each track instead of a single file for the whole album.

I understand correctly, that in the future plan to support cue files? If yes, what about when you can wait? Large collection of music and cut large ape and flac files do not particularly want to.

Medieval cue splitter doesn't seem like a very "audiophile" solution.
From thier webpage - " Known bug: MPC engine can cause a bit of jitter at the beginning/end of tracks
Limitations: MD5 checksum is not calculated for generated FLAC files. "

Once the MPD support cue, why runeaudio not see these files? It would be very convenient.

CUE files are now supported in the RuneUI - they are showed and they can be added to playlist.

Please test it and leave a feedback.

Just tired this. I have lost access to one of my folders in the library I now just get the spinning circle, but access to the other folder seems fine. I have remounted all sources and rescanned the folder neither of these things worked. I will try rebuilding the datatbase.
I cant comment re cue file implemetation as my cue files are in the folder I can no longer access.

Please check if there are any Javascript errors in the console of your browser. The spinning layer could also mean that something went wrong with the client-side parsing, so I need to know the exact error messages to debug it.

I have rebuilt the mpd database and that has not fixed the problem.

Here are the errors -

Ok, this is the only relevant error (you can ignore the other ones as they do not evidence any real issue).
As I suspected, this is a client-side parsing issue that breaks the execution of the Javascript.

Now I wish to know why this happens, as that part of code is untouched since the 0.3-alpha release and we had no reports about that until now. Can you paste the output of a ls command inside that directory? (if it's too long please paste it via Pastebin)

Ok, but you're going to have to explain how to do this.

Would be nice if in the library cue sheets would show their contents in the hierarchical structure; it's hard to find that one song you're looking for... (Showing up in the search function would be handy too.)

Might be a bit late to the party on this, but I love Beelzebassie's idea. How hard would this be to implement? I could attempt to write something for it, but there's no promises that it would work

As we are currently focused on higher priorities (0.4 release first, rework of the system then), any contribution on this feature is welcome... if you do an attempt with it please keep us updated on the progress.

After struggling a lot with .cue files on my phone and foobar2000 on Windows PC I started using Xrecode II for splitting CUE files to FLAC's.
It works very well, I can't hear any difference in playback quality.

Give it a try

Another similiar utility that always worked great for me is Medieval CUE Splitter.

My ESET Smart Security antivirus shows alerts and doesn't open their webpage, this is not a trusted software for me, ACX, better try Xrecode II, because Medieval might be an adaware :/

I have used it in the past and I hadn't such problems, but I can't guarantee for the most recent versions... the website also looks a bit like a scam nowadays

It would be a shame if they screwed it because it used to work wonderful.

Who all uses cuesheets on RuneAudio? I'm having issues with pregaps working--the pregaps are skipped entirely, even if there is audio data. It makes the album really choppy. I'm assuming this is an MPD thing, right?

mishgun

If the file name contains Cyrillic characters, then the cue-file is not processed.
I can send an example of such a file.
