Version: 2.4.0 (using KDE 4.4.4) OS: Linux Amarok fails to play the last track of a WAV file accompanied with a CUE file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Tell K3b to rip one track from an audio CD to a single WAV file with cue. 2. Tell Amarok to play the WAV file. Actual Results: 2. One second of sound. Expected Results: 2. Amarok should play the whole track. OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.34.7-0.7-desktop Compiler: gcc
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.
I cannot perform Step 1 any more (Bug 275082).
Thank you for the feedback, I'll keep this open until the other bug is fixed.
Tested on Amarok 2.5. I got the same results as Comment #2.
How about trying to rip with another application? There are several available for Linux

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.

Setting status correctly.
reproducible with amarok 2.6
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.
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.
Jörg: that is what this bug report is about, isn't it?
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.
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.
I use 2.8.
Seems to work now in 3.3.0.
