dBpoweramp Cue Sheet Encoding
Cue Sheets store an extra file (.CUE) along with the audio, which describes the layout of the tracks on the physical CD.
There are two types of cue sheet, the first is one large audio track, and the cue sheet is used by the player to split it into seperate tracks, to create this type of cue sheet change the encoder in CD ripper to [Cue Single File Encoding].
Encode To sets the audio format for the audio track, with Path and File Naming setting where the combined single audio file goes. The temporary encoding folder would normally be %tmp% to use the system temp folder.
The resulting cue sheet will resemble:
REM COMMENT "dBpoweramp"
PERFORMER "Kanye West"
ITLE "Watch the Throne"
FILE "Kanye West - Watch the Throne.flac" FLAC
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "No Church in the Wild"
PERFORMER "Kanye West; Frank Ocean; Jay-Z"
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "Lift Off"
PERFORMER "Kanye West; Beyoncé; Jay-Z"
INDEX 01 04:32:38
TRACK 03 AUDIO
TITLE "In Paris"
PERFORMER "Kanye West; Jay-Z"
INDEX 01 08:58:57
TRACK 04 AUDIO
TITLE "Otis"
PERFORMER "Kanye West; Jay-Z; Otis Redding"
INDEX 01 12:38:07
One option (dBpoweramp Control Center >> Audio Codecs 'List / Options') is to change the Enocoder Option for [Cue Single File Encoding] to write UTF-8 files, if the player supports then unicode characters can be written.
Non-compliant Cue Sheets
The other option when creating cue sheets is to continue to write multiple audio tracks (which has the best player compatibility), and write an associated .Cue file along with those individual tracks. To do so, set the encoder to a normal encoder, such as FLAC (do not use [Cue Single File Encoding]) and include the DSP effect 'CUE Sheet - Multiple Files'. A file Cuesheet.cue will be created in the same folder as the first file, a typical multiple file cuesheet will resmble:
