Cue sheet , la enciclopedia libre

Una hoja cue, cue sheet o archivo .cue es un archivo de texto Unicode que especifica cómo se distribuyen las pistas de datos en un disco compacto.

Los archivos cue comúnmente tienen la extensión ".cue", son originalmente usados por el programa CDRWIN para hacer imágenes ISO, y actualmente usados por muchos programas audiovisuales y de grabación de CD, como Nero Burning ROM.

Para un CD audio, la hoja cue puede especificar títulos y autores para el disco, así como los nombres de cada una de las pistas, OGG, MP3, WAV, FLAC, etcétera, y archivos binarios (BIN) son usados generalmente.

Las hojas cue son especialmente usadas para grabar o escuchar discos donde todas las pistas son grabadas en un único archivo que contiene todo el audio, y la hoja cue es la que especifica al reproductor cuándo termina una pista y comienza otra.

• Title - el nombre de la grabación (ejemplo: Live at the Bassment).
• Performer - artista o DJ.
• Filename - el nombre del archivo específico que contiene el cue sheet al que hace referencia el archivo (ejemplo: liveset.mp3).
• Track - el nombre de la pista de audio.
• Track Times - el comienzo de la pista, expresado en el formato MM:SS:FR (minutos-segundos-frames).
  • Ejemplo: 04:18:12 = minuto 4, 18 segundos, 12 frames.
