CDRCue

CDRCue 2004 - the fastest and easiest way to create CD-R cuesheets CDRCue 2004is an application that helps you create CD-R cuesheets.

CD-R cuesheets are short text files specifying the contents, order, and spacing of your CD-R disc, as you wish to burn it. Almost all major CD-R burning applications support cuesheets, including: Roxio Easy CD Creator (Disc Copier 6.1 or later), Nero, CDRWIN, EAC, Feurio!, and FireBurner.

Once you have created your cuesheet, you can burn it with any of these CD-R applications. This is a powerful concept: if your first choice does not produce a workable disc (for whatever reason), pick another application and burn the same cuesheet with it.

This means your investment of time and effort in creating your CD-R layout is entirely protected, no matter if your mastering application fails to produce a good disk, or another one comes along which you like better.

Because they are text files, cuesheets are easy to read and understand --- just open them in Notepad.

Unfortunately, creating and editing cuesheets for audio and karaoke discs in Notepad is tedious and error-prone. Typing the exact filename character-by-character comes from the stone age.

Determining audio cue points in terms of minutes/seconds/frames requires a time-consuming task of opening your audio file in a waveform editor and mousing around to the correct location.

Re-ordering files in the cuesheet requires you to manually renumber your tracks. All this makes you want to abandon cuesheets altogether, which is a shame because cuesheets are in fact the most precise way of ensuring your CD-R turns out exactly as you have carefully prepared it.

Cuesheets for data discs and the popular CUE/BIN file combination (which makes it easy to transport exact disc images) are much simpler, but Notepad still requires you to type in the proper filename and get the syntax right.
