Generated CUE file format problem

[sdybiec]

I recently ripped my entire CD collection with CueTools / EAC. Great tool. The ability to write out logs with tons of great metadata about the rip process and quality is awesome.

Only found one snag: some of the CUE files put the FILE line in the wrong place for some tracks. Couldn't figure out a pattern that predicts this --- but I really didn't try that hard :-)

Here's a example where the FILE lines for tracks 3, 9 and 10 are in odd places that break most CUE parses:

Thanks again for the great tool.

Similar to #179
EAC (you mentioned EAC) and CUERipper create noncompliant CUE files to preserve the INDEX 00 (gap) information when ripping each track to a separate file (tracks). This can be turned off in CUERipper by setting the option Detect Indexes: False.
Unfortunately this will also turn off other subcode detection.

[EDIT] Note: The Detect Indexes setting currently only changes what information is written to the CUE file or Extraction Log file. The setting does not alter the audio data extraction (RIP).

https://github.com/gchudov/cuetools.net#readme

The goal is to make sure the album image is preserved accurately. A lossless disc image must be lossless not only in preserving contents of the audio tracks, but also in preserving gaps and CUE sheet contents. Many applications lose vital information upon conversion, and don't support all possible CUE sheet styles. For example, foobar2000 loses disc pre-gap information when converting an album image, and doesn't support gaps appended (noncompliant) CUE sheets.
