I've d/l an album, and it's one long mp3 and a cue file.

When i load the cue in Nero (disc image) nothing happens and Nero locks up.

I've never been able to burn one of these and end up just burning the mp3 as wav in frustration. Then i can't select the tracks.

The filename in the cue (line 3) is the same as the mp3.

Any help appreciated.

you just have to convert the mp3 file to wave (I use CDEX 1.51, freeware and easy to use) and put the wave file (must have that name: 01-va-id_and_t_hardtrance_3-cd1-2003-legacymp3.wav) in the same folder as your cue file.

Then open the cue file with an editor (notepad or something like that) and change the 3rd line from:

FILE "01-va-id_and_t_hardtrance_3-cd1-2003-legacymp3.mp3" MP3

into:

FILE "01-va-id_and_t_hardtrance_3-cd1-2003-legacymp3.wav" WAV

or

FILE "01-va-id_and_t_hardtrance_3-cd1-2003-legacymp3.wav" WAVE

I don't remember exactly if the the last word has to be WAV or WAVE, you just have to try.

Now save the changes and the cue file should know the path to your newly created wave file and you are able to burn as a audio cd WITH index marks (so you can select the tracks).

Just look at the difference in line three, there have 2 changes to be made.

You can easily test it, just mount your cue with a virtual drive (daemon tools, Alcohol virtual drive or whatever virtual drive you want), then playing it with your favourite player (winamp or else),
you should now see the different tracks.

Good luck and have fun!

I've always used musicutter to split into individaul mp3s first, then burn them:

Dead simple one click mp3 cutter.

If you haven't got a cue file for an mp3, use cuemaster

Thank's for that G3rMaNIaC, it worked!

You've made my daughter a very happy girl.

Than's for the other option killingjokezzz.

By the way it's WAVE at the end

ah, WAVE, ok, good to know for the next time we come across this problem

I thought so too first, but it just takes a while. trust me, it does work.

Ok i'll have a go without converting my Euphoria by Matt Darey.

Ok that worked!

Took 7 or 8 mins and i thought it locked again.

Thank's for that
