CUE conversion

[fracai]

Can mktoc convert a cue sheet formats? I see that converting a sheet
to a TOC is supported, but I, for example, would like to convert a
multi-file sheet to an image sheet. Is there a mkcue?

Any tips?

Thanks, mktoc looks interesting.

Can you explain a little more about the usage model for having the conversion to either a CUE or TOC image sheet?

There is no such feature right now in mktoc for such conversion. CUE format output logic is not in the code base, so it would take some additional work just to support the current set of options (such as a list of WAV files to CUE sheet). I believe an image sheet output for TOC might be easier to implement. Would that be helpful at all?

I was thinking along the lines of converting a CUE sheet written for
multiple files (a FILE entry for each track) to a sheet with only one
file (with indicies for each track). When converting my old rips I
currently create a CUE sheet and join the tracks using shncue and
shnjoin, but this drops any gap information contained in the original
CUE sheet.

Outputting a TOC would probably be helpful if it included the gap
information as I could always then convert the TOC to a CUE sheet.

In any event, the gaps aren't a big deal as the audio data and track
indicies come across fine. Gap info is just an extra and probably not
worth any large amount of work.
