Hi Don,

I've never edited the cue sheet when copying it to the edit window. The
program does not care that local file names match cue sheet names. In this
case, I trust the user. The program will pick up the title fields from the
page and use them accordingly.

From this page: http://www.freedb.org/freedb/misc/b109e70c

Edit, Select all, Copy
Click in the edit window of "MP3 Cut" and Shift/Ins or paste.

If you had just dragged in a new file, the edit window will clear when you
click in it.
If you had already parsed a file, it will not. In which case you can paste
the copy at the end (thou it can go just about anywhere) or even clear the
content first, then paste, if you desire.

When you tab out of the edit field, the "Check Frames" button will be
enabled and the cursor will be in the "Tweak" field (which is pre-set
to -2).

The difference between other cutters and this is that I use the frame
offsets rather than time codes. While I do grab the "Disc length" in
seconds, it is such an unreliable value that I pad the final frame with 9's
to force coincidence with EOF.

Of course you may edit the frame numbers used, as you've pointed out to me,
they are in 75ths of a second! In the case of files having other cues, the
program gives the cue sheet a lower priority. In the case of a cue-less
file, I wouldn't know how much to adjust the values?

I'm looking in to the ZIP problem now. Will get back shortly. I've had a
few problems with a ZIP of some bad files - perhaps related, perhaps not -
which is changing the way I resume scanning after losing synch with the
music.
