this will have support for the major audio formats too right? mp3, flac, mp4? i know medieval cuesplitter doesnt support mp4, so you have to convert within foobar, and its a pain + lossy->lossy

In your dreams, man! This is based on code that is highly specific to the mp3 format, and it's not very self-explaining. However, it would be nice to make an interface for splitting that could get implementations for different formats. I might try to learn C# with the code if ridiculous makes it public somewhere to see if I can help, time permitting.

Is there any good refactoring tools for C#, like the ones in Eclipse for Java? Or would I have to convert the code to Java to clean it up and then back to C#? :lol:

i took a few classes in C#... the language isn't hard to get a grip on, especially when you already know few others.

for MP4/FLAC we could implement an on-the-fly convertion to mp3. i do that all the time in cli with by piping outputs between neroaacdec/ffmpeg/lame/etc. but we don't need to, there are tools that would split aac audio without reconversion (gpac/sox could do, i think).

Yes, but we're talking "perfect" (gapless) splits from the same user interface.

This looks great ridiculous. A couple of requests/queries about the app.

- Will the tool also implement mp3brfix to fix any issues with the mp3 file before splitting is attempted.
- You have already covered that the app can work on a drag and drop basis, will this also work as a batch mode?
- With regards to the above, if an error has occurred due to incorrect mp3 filename or something wrong with the cuesheet could the app either skip the cuesheet or prompt the user for the filename/open the cuesheet for editing?
- Is there options to specific the output filename/directory? This is the main reason I use pcutmp3 with foo_run so I can extract to Artist Album - Album\Track - Artist - Title.

Is it necessary to have a skinned interface? I generally prefer programs using a standard windows UI (e.g. like foobar).

Also would it be possible to have an option to set the "album artist" tag on the split files. That's one thing that Medieval Splitter doesn't do and it's a pain in the ass.

I also second the option to specify output filename as djphatic indicated. Would be nice to configure a button in foobar with foo_run to split a cue sheet whilst you browsing in foobar.

+1 ...like CueSplitter.

Though foobar2000 is actually skinned, it just looks sort of like Explorer.

And BTW, foobar2000 has a new logo. For the toolbar icon. ;)

Yup, it will fix the mp3 (if needed) before it splits and will also have an option available to run mp3brfix on the file whenever you see fit

It will definitely have batch mode, but I haven't figured out how I want it to work yet.

Options:
1) Drag and drop folder with cues/mp3s onto the grid, a tab with a separate grid is created for each cue/mp3 pair, user selects out put folder, sub folders are made inside that folder depending on artist/album name (possible have a mask for folder naming)

2) Have a separate window/form which just lets the user choose their out put directory/folder naming conventions, browse for the folder (or just drag the folder onto the form) with their cues/mp3 in it

any other ideas/opinions one these ideas are welcome

It will pop up an error message with the option to retry/cancel -> you fix the issue through windows explorer and then click retry and it should continue on its way. Editting the cue through the application in the middle of a batch split would require "pausing" the whole operation which won't be possible as each are going to be running in their own thread (at the same time)

Yup.


Edit:
m1nt: i'll probably add track exclusion.

Edit2:

I will add artist album!

Anyone care to elaborate on foo_run? never seen/used this feature before

foo_run plugin: Able you to run a external program with the foobar syntax. (Taken from foobar wiki)

I use this command to run pcutmp3 from foobar

Code:
cmd /c "java.exe -jar "C:\pcutmp3\pcutmp3.jar" --cue "%path%" "$directory_path(%path%)\%__referenced_file%" --dir "$directory_path(%path%)\%album artist% - %album%" --out "%%n %%p - %%t"


When I have a cuesheet loaded I can right click on any track select Run services > pcutmp3 and this will split the mp3/cue to a new folder in the directory the files are located in the format:
Album Artist - Album\Track - Artist - Title

If there is an error with the mp3 file then it comes up with the out of range error message and I then run mp3brfix using the Run services > mp3brfix which I have also setup.

as far as the GUI, I was thinking more of:

just a quick 40 min job in photoshop... could have been much better if more time was invested. the question is, could you implement GUI like one above once i finished it?

Looks too much like an Apple app.
The filename mask and ID3 things should be on the "Preferences" page.
Target directory is too short.
ASOT 999 is on 2020-10-08, not 2020-10-10.
"Album" can be omitted from artist/title.
Select all for split column missing.
Split cue could ask the target directory to reduce clutter (would be visible on batch process page).
CueNation integration missing, or is it when opening an mp3 file with the program it downloads it and then opens this view?
