Talk:Cue sheet (computing)

message: 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)
replies: text: 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).

replies: text:  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)

message: 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.)

replies: text:  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.

text: Anything, like a video game, or a text-editing program. The lead doesn't need to be made more specific because it's a broad concept. I shouldn't mess with it anyway because I'm not an expert on the concept. It already says in the paragraph that it's used in many types of applications. So, it's as straight-forward as I just put it. I've used it to transfer programs as .bin files onto CDs as folders and other types of files. "Cue sheet (music software)" isn't acceptable, so until a better name is proposed, I'll just have to do a cut-and-paste move. I was hoping you might be able to help. I wasn't asking for your opinion, as it seems you don't know anything about .cue sheets. I guess I should have just done it myself instead of posting here.--24.9.103.45 20:09, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

message: 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)

:Why mention these 2 specific editors when any will get the jib done? Furthermore, these are not available everywhere. Linking text editor makes more sense.

message: XMPlay has support for getting track info from embedded and external CUE sheets. I would guess that this information would go under 'Play on Windows PC' in the 'Uses' section. Though, I'm not too sure on how to write this, does it count as 'native support'?

message: The 1st sentence of the article mentions DVDs but I'm pretty sure cue sheets was designed for audio CDs and have yet to see them working with any DVD related content.FaTony (talk) 09:44, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Tracks can have more than 00 and 01 INDEX, examples are Rhapsody's Power of the Dragon Flame, where the last 19 minutes long track has 3 indexes for the 3 parts and Ayreon's new album, who has 4 long tracks, but they have more indexes which divide them into 42 tracks.

replies: text: I went ahead and added info about indexes above 01, and clarified that only INDEX 01 is required. However, such technical details may not be noteworthy for the article. We are on a slippery slope of rewriting the entire spec here in the Wikipedia article. —mjb (talk) 14:06, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
