[edit] Cleaning Up

To be honest, this page is kind of a mess. I'm cleaning it up and taking out the 2nd person POV throughout the scenario, but there's still some information missing. For example, what exactly is a frame, and how would I go about finding what frame a given point is in the source mp3? Azure Haights 21:26, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Can't be bothered adding it to the article, but what is meant by a frame is the smallest unit you can allocate to a track. They are 1/75th of a second long. I read somewhere (the CDR FAQ I think) that a true frame is something smaller and these 1/75 s frames are actually sectors; the use of frame is incorrect (even in the CDRWIN manual).

So in other words, when creating a cue sheet, just divide the decimal portion past the second by 0.01333... (1/75) and round as I wish, regardless of source format? Thanks. That'll make the cue file I was working on work much cleaner. That whole actual "frame" definition was messing me up. Azure Haights 00:42, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Need for Disambiguation?

I would like to write an article about cue sheet in the cycling sense (Cue sheet (cycling)): a list of named intersection turns, the distance between successive turns, and the cumulative distance at each turn. A cyclist who carries a printed cue sheet can then follow an unfamiliar route, using his/her cyclocomputer's odometer function to anticipate each impending turn. This is one method used to specify the route for an organized group bicycle ride. Cue sheets are often used in conjuction with route maps, and/or direction marks painted on the road near the curb lane edge, called Dan Henrys. (GPS receivers offer a superior method for route navigation, but not many cyclists use them yet, and few bicycle clubs have the technical expertise to record and distribute their routes as GPX files to their riders.)

Wow, yeh, go ahead and create the article and a disambiguation page. --Eleazar 11:34, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Also, isn't cue sheet a lot more generic a term, referring to almost any paper aid (or form) used to enumerate cues across a wide variety of industries and specific meanings of the term "cue"? For one example, see Cues#Cue Sheet. For another, locally, we use the term "cue sheet" to refer to a form we fill out enumerating the Cue marks associated with a particular 35m movie print, as an aid to projection.

For another use, see ASCAP's CUE & A: Everything You Need To Know About Cue Sheets. jhawkinson 16:08, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What about data CDs?

This page is totally focused on MP3s and audio CDs. What about the use of CUE files to specify the data layout of a CD image?

[edit] Winamp 5.3 support

The updated version does support 5.3, you can read about it in this forum thread.

[edit] .cue and mounting

Some info about how to mount a CD/DVD using a .cue sheet would be great. --Abdull 13:54, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] sample cue sheet of a BIN image file

Although I am not sure whether this should be mentioned in the article or not, here it is at least. When mounting an image containing non-audio data, such as a game if you will, they could look like this:

FILE "sampleimage.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00

Notice that "sampleimage.bin" has to be replaced with the image of your bin-file. The bin and the cue sheet should always be placed in the same folder, using paths in the cue sheet won't work. There you go. Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 21:58, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
