foobar2000 couldn't play a cue file

17,661

Solution 1

The problem is index numbers.
Every one 00:00:00

Cue Sample

TRACK 06 AUDIO
 TITLE "XY"
    PERFORMER "XY"
    INDEX 00 22:27:37
    INDEX 01 22:29:19

Solution 2

I see for example this

FILE "Glenn Gould\JS Bach- Goldberg Variations, BWV988 (1981 Version)\03--Variation 2 a 1 Clav..wav" WAVE

do you see it ends with 2 dots? try to replace all the ..wav to .wav, it should work.

    I have just installed foobar2000 to play my new album (In a folder there are over 30 flac files, a cue file and other stuff) but it couldn't play the cue file.
    However, it can play single or multiple flac files without any issues.

    the main problem here is the name file+extention in the description inside the cue file. It has to match exactly the file name between the cue and the real file you have.I'm thinking, if those are flac files, substitute the .wav with .flac it should work. they have to match, remember that.
