Cue sheets

From Audacity Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search
Audacity does not yet directly support cue sheets for specifying tracks information for CD burning.

However you can use Audacity's labels feature to split a recording into separate tracks, then use the tools on this page to create a cue sheet from the label information.

label2cue converter

Label2cue is an open source Java tool. It will run on any platform supporting Java JRE 1.5 and higher. JRE 1.4 will not work!

Split the tracks

Split your recording in Audacity into separate tracks using the method described on this page of the Audacity wiki.

Export the labels

In Audacity, select File > Export Labels and name your exported label file. It will be saved as a plain text document that represents the label positions in seconds (and optionally, the label titles).

Convert label file with label2cue

On Windows, Linux, or any platform supporting Java, use Andrewtheart's java tool label2cue to convert/format the minutes and seconds data in the text label file to minutes, seconds and CDDA frames data laid out in cue sheet format.

Simply single/double click on the Label2Cue.jar file.
