.CUE files and burnatonce

To start referring to a new source file, simply add another FILE line. Track numbering should continue in sequence (not start again from 01).

Don't forget that for after each FILE line, you probably want a track with INDEX 01 00:00:00 . It's easy to miss it out and start with the position of the 2nd track.

The time fields are mm:ss:cc (cc being hundredths, not 'frames').

burnatonce seems to expect TITLE lines - with the title in quotes - both for tracks and the disc as a whole. Specify "" if necessary.

burnatonce doesn't object to the omission of AUDIO after TRACK nn.

burnatonce will not process files with tabs. Use spaces to indent.

burnatonce uses the actual size of the audio files specified, if your CUE file mistakenly contains a track that starts beyond the end of the file then that track is ignored.

burnatonce occasionally thinks a file is slightly longer than it is - seems to happen when the file is a fraction of a second shorter than an integer number of minutes, eg 26:59.68 . It will then put up an "0 MB to be written to disc" message box when Write is clicked. If you answer OK the log will contain a complaint that it's trying to go past the end of the file. The way to fix this is to right-click the last track of the offending file in Audio Mastering, choose Properties and make the length slightly shorter - 0.01 second is often enough, but if it isn't, try slightly larger reductions till burnatonce accepts it.
