Cue-Sheets
Tracklists are not necessarily that great if you can't directly access the tracks inside MP3 files. Here it is where cue-sheets start to "lift off".
Playing cue-sheets
Its better off using cue sheets and the great thing is that there is this plugin that plays cue sheets in winamp. Here are very good cue sheets plugin for the latest winamp:
- Cue Player (Windows/Winamp)
- mp3cue (Windows/Winamp)
- mp3cue (Linux/XMMS)
Well, for the plugins all you gotta do is to have the cue and the mp3 file in the same folder -
- for Cue Player just drag the cue sheet inside winamp, and it works just fine
- for the mp3cue plugin it's different - here u drag the mp3 file inside the Winamp windows
Both plugins will show up the track name, and at the end of each track it will keep on playing without any gaps at the end of song, coz it will keep on going smoothly throughout the whole mix, coz you gotta remember its playing one mp3.
Creating cue-sheets
You can always use these tools such as CueMaster, to edit & create cue sheets, here are the links for that:
- cue master - cues from CDDB/FreeDB entries
- cue generator
- cue sheet compiler
