So, creating a CUE sheet with this option will create a file identical to one of the other 4.In beginner mode, you'll only see two options listed:. Single WAV File. Multiple WAV Files — this is the same as Multiple WAV Files With Gaps (Noncompliant)Most don't know, but actually the CUE Sheet is just a simple ASCII file, in a format quite easy to read and interpret (if needed you can also edit it).For the test, the Rush album Signals was used. It was chosen because it has few tracks (8), simple format (7 gaps, all non-zero lengths), no hidden tracks (no index 00 for the 1st track) and standard 2s before the 1st track.Single WAV File - a.k.a.

A single file, assumed by EAC to be Range.wav, is used in all tracks. Track 1 starts with index 1 (a track 1-index 0 would mean a hidden track), at the file's absolute position 00:00:00.
All the times are the absolute position within the Range.wav file. Here the tracks (01 indices) and the gaps (00 indices) are so easy to see and figure out that I have nothing much to tell about this format, except that this simple format will help us to understand the basics, and will sure come in hand when things get dicy.Just a note for future reference: the gap length of a given track can be calculated by subtracting the INDEX 00 start position from its INDEX 01 start position.
For example, track 3 gap starts at 10:22:12, and the actual track starts at 10:22:57. That leads us to a 57-12 = 00:00:45 gap.Multiple WAV Files With Corrected Gaps - a.k.a.
