Comment 1 Myriam Schweingruber 2011-06-04 12:16:24 UTC
This is an automated message from the triager:

Amarok 2.4.1 has been released on May 8 already. Could you please upgrade and test if you can still reproduce this bug?

Without feedback within a month we will close this bug as resolved.

Thank you for your understanding.
Comment 2 Christopher Yeleighton 2011-06-07 00:01:27 UTC
I cannot perform Step 1 any more (Bug 275082).
Comment 3 Myriam Schweingruber 2011-06-07 01:50:16 UTC
Thank you for the feedback, I'll keep this open until the other bug is fixed.
Comment 4 Aakash 2012-01-01 17:21:08 UTC
Tested on Amarok 2.5. I got the same results as Comment #2.
Comment 5 Myriam Schweingruber 2012-01-01 23:55:35 UTC
How about trying to rip with another application? There are several available for Linux

Please name one.

Oh come on, you should be able to find those on your own, no? Just a few examples:
- Asunder
- Grip
- Sound Juicer
- Cdda2wav
- cdparanoia
- VLC
etc.

cdda2wav does not produce CUE files.
Comment 9 Myriam Schweingruber 2012-02-21 00:04:10 UTC
Setting status correctly.
Comment 10 MinSik CHO 2012-12-02 11:57:29 UTC
reproducible with amarok 2.6
Comment 11 joerg.schilling 2013-12-19 14:44:28 UTC
CUE files are discouraged for audio CDs because the official
documentation of CUE files for audio data has some design problems
and other software than cdrwin usually creates incompatible cue sheets
as a result.

You are also wrong about cdda2wav, cdda2wav will create cue files on demand.
Just use a version that is not older than 3 years.

Created attachment 84176 [details]
a cue file from cdda2wav

This is a cue file created by cdda2wav.   It does not affect how Amarok plays the audio file, however, I suspect it is because Amarok is unable to understand it.  At least K3b tells me it the cue file cannot be used.
Comment 13 joerg.schilling 2013-12-20 10:24:37 UTC
The CUE file you sent is perfectly OK and fully matches the 
definitions written down by the inventor of the cue file "CDR-WIN".

If this CUE file is not accepted by some software, this software 
does not seem to support CUE files.
Comment 14 Myriam Schweingruber 2013-12-20 11:02:13 UTC
Jörg: that is what this bug report is about, isn't it?
Comment 15 joerg.schilling 2013-12-20 11:24:04 UTC
This was not obvious before as the OP did originally send a CUE file
created by ExactAudioCopy that is known to add many enhancements
to the official CUE file syntax.
Cdrecord understands these enhancements, but cdda2wav currently
does not write enhanced CUE files.
Comment 16 Myriam Schweingruber 2013-12-20 11:28:41 UTC
Christopher: are you still using version 2.6? If yes, I strongly suggest you upgrade to 2.8, just so you have at least a recent Amarok version.
Comment 17 Christopher Yeleighton 2013-12-21 01:00:12 UTC
I use 2.8.
Comment 18 Tuomas Nurmi 2025-07-10 19:43:14 UTC
Seems to work now in 3.3.0.
