Hello. I thought I'd share this in case anybody might find it useful.
The script is at http://opensvn.csie.org/4nykey/scripts/cueek.py (it's a svn repo so you can `svn co').
Few caveats:
cuesheet must point to an existing file. The cue usually contains a line that reads `FILE="foo.ext" WAVE', so if foo.ext is present in the same dir as cue, it should be all fine. But it can be "bar.another_ext" or "Foo.EXT" or whatever, then the cue needs to be edited. Cuesheet can contain non-ascii chars at times, then '-m' option has to be used. As cues are mostly created with windows tools (EAC, etc) it should be '-m cpxxx' (western languages are cp1252, cyrillic is cp1251, etc)
Tools you might need:
media-libs/flac (reading, writing flacs) media-sound/wavpack (reading, writing wv files) media-sound/lame and media-sound/lltag (mp3z) media-sound/vorbis-tools (oggz)
Couple of examples:
first run: cueek.py -v foo.cue (it'll print cd layout and create config file)
edit ~/.cueekrc to customize or add some options, e.g:
| Code: | [mpc]
encode: mppenc --silent --overwrite --unicode %m - %f
tag: ' --tag '
rg: replaygain --smart --auto %f
[mp3]
encode: lame --silent -V2 --vbr-new - %f
ext_tag: lltag --yes
ext_tag_switch: ' --tag '
rg: mp3gain -a -k -t -p -q %f
[ogg]
encode: oggenc -Q -q 7 %m -o %f -
tag: ' -c '
rg: vorbisgain -aq %f |
encoding to vorbis:
| Code: | | cueek.py -w -e ogg -o /dev/null foo.cue |
encoding to mp3 & vorbis, removing source file & applying replay-gain:
| Code: | | cueek.py -wvdr -e mp3,ogg -o /dev/null foo.cue |
burning cd from so-called 'non-compliant' cue (if you ever used EAC, you should be familiar with the issues involved):
| Code: | cueek.py -w foo.cue | cue2toc > burnme.toc
cdrdao simulate burnme.toc |
