Cue Naming
These settings control how names are assigned to the new cue points as they are generated.
Cue Naming Settings | |
---|---|
Setting | Description |
Time based | Names cue points based on its time position within the file. A cue point added at two minutes into the file, for example, will have the name 2:00.00000. |
Numbered | Names cue points based on three digit sequential numbers. The names will be 001, 002, 003, etc. The starting number depends on the number of cue points already in the file. |
Lettered | Names each cue point alphabetically, with three letters, such as AAA, AAB, AAC, etc. The starting name depends on the number of cue points already in the file. |
Import/Export Buttons
Use the Import button to read cue points from a CD cue file. Use the Export button to save all cue points to a CD cue file. The default name of the cue file depends on the name of the current Sound file. For example, if the file you are working on is "music.wav", then the cue file is "music.cue" by default. See Options | Storage for a setting to use cue files automatically. A CD cue file (Wikipedia entry) contains track information that some CD Recorder programs, such as CDRWIN and Nero, use when creating a table of contents for a CD. Creating a cue file may eliminate the need to split a large file into separate track files. You can open the cue file in the Windows Notepad accessory to edit or view its contents.
Use the Import and Export buttons in the Cue Points tool to load and save them.
Cue point positions in a cue file are accurate only to 1/75 of a second, which is the size of a single CD sector. They are stored more accurately within some sound file types.
