Hello [ms], i want to share with you this amazing web

[URL="http://transitionscues.info/"]Transitionscues[/URL]

U can find there tracklistings and cue files for many radio shows like Transitions, Resident, Radio Therapy, Sound Garden, etc.

Would be amazing have an integration with tosk (the author of the web) and [ms] to keep improving the radioshows thread!

:D:D:D:D:D

Nice one.

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

I love this idea, but the [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=87"]zip[/url] files aren't opening properly :(

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

Hello there! tosk here. What [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=87"]zip[/url] files are you having problems opening DIDI?

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

The cue files. For some reason they keep trying to open in VLC and it doesn't work. Mac, which has as a core service Archive utility, and it is working with other [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=87"]zip[/URL] files. I love the idea of cue files !!:D

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

I'm using foobar2000. I don't have a Mac, so I have no idea what program to use there.

#1615912Post 7 of 332012-05-13

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

Macs have an installed Archive utility, but I did try another program and even when I tried that it still tried to open in VLC. It is the first time I have ever had this problem :)

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

I use Mac and Unarchiver to open [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=87"]zip[/url] files and everything works perfect!

#1615960Post 9 of 332012-05-13

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

^^^ Yeah all other zipfiles except these. :loL: Btw you don't need unarchiver, although I still have it, and it doesn't work with these either. I select it and they still want to open with VLC. Do you have VLC on your mac. ?? Because maybe that is the issue.

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

I'm on the mac with both VLC and Unarchiver installed. The [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=87"]zip[/url] file for NID's MS 10 mix unzips fine for me into a cue sheet.

#1615973Post 11 of 332012-05-14

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

Well as you can see Hernan's Resident doesn't for me :lol: Neither did transitions Have you got the latest VLC ??Cos Nid's didn't work either :( This I will uninstall anyway ! I don't use it much and it's too intrusive now in other areas.

#1615976Post 12 of 332012-05-14

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

Maybe try right clicking on the [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=87"]zip[/url] file and select Open with ... something else besides VLC? Or Get Info on the [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=87"]zip[/url] file and change the default app setting?

#1615979Post 13 of 332012-05-14

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

If you look at the pics you can see I have done and VLC isn't even an option for opening

I'm going to give up , although I would have loved to be able to put up cuefiles for resident. I got rid of VLC and this is what happened :lol: It now wants to open in toast , anything except will that will actually open it properly :lol:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]8842[/ATTACH]

I've done all the things like restart , repair permissions etc. And for the record this is the only site I have tried where it is happening .

[ATTACH=CONFIG]8843[/ATTACH]

Absolutely no problem here. So giving up is probably sensible :lol:

I did try changing defaults in info . Thanks for trying for me though :)

#1615980Post 14 of 332012-05-14

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

That's odd, Hernan's cuesheet unzips fine for me too.

#1615996Post 15 of 332012-05-14

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

Have you tried Amarok DIDI? It supports cuesheets, and is available for Mac.

#1616009Post 16 of 332012-05-14

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

^^ Maybe not. Googled and came up with this :lol: Dated 25th April

[QUOTE]Please be aware that no stable version of Amarok for Mac OS has yet been released. This means those builds are [B]FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY[/B]. There is [B]no official support[/B] for them. These builds might be unstable, have bad side effects, kill your cat, start WW IV or even worse, may not work at all. You have been warned![/QUOTE]

Quite honestly I would rather work out why it isn't working for me, if I am going to spend time on it.

feather, as you can see I tried on more that Hernan's none of the ones I tried worked.

Don't suppose there is anyway it could be a country thing?? Nah I think that is a silly question.

#1616010Post 17 of 332012-05-14

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

feather , another question, are you running windows or OSX??

#1616041Post 18 of 332012-05-14

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

OS X of course :)

#1616042Post 19 of 332012-05-14

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

Yeah another silly question. :(

This is the same as Microsoft's certified drivers. It doesn't mean there are risks or whatnot. Most open-source apps or third parties apps never reach the "stable" status but stay as betas or version 0.0.1287 for years. Amarok is not the only solution but it's a pretty solid alternative.

#1616120Post 21 of 332012-05-15

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

Up to date I have tried MULTIPLE unarchive apps and the result has been exactly the same with every one. But on [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=87"]zip[/URL] files from this site. I have NO PROBLEMS at all with [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=87"]zip[/URL] files from other sites.

As I said , if i am going to spend time on this , I would like it be in working why it doesn't work for me and it does for others. I don't want other apps , I want reasons why it may not be working. There has to be one. Perhaps I am doing the wrong thing somewhere?? Although it's pretty hard to get "download the cue" wrong :lol:

#1616126Post 22 of 332012-05-15

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

Certainly perplexing! I'm curious to get to the bottom of this too :lol: Have you uninstalled VLC?

#1616131Post 23 of 332012-05-15

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

Yes. !! So now it tries to open with toast. :lol:

#1616132Post 24 of 332012-05-15

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

Have you done Get Info on the cue file and change the application it opens with? And check 'Apply to all' ?

What do you use cue sheets with on the Mac anyway (for mp3 playback)?

#1616133Post 25 of 332012-05-15

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

I might buy a mac, they sound great fun

#1616147Post 26 of 332012-05-15

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

Cues should be posted as text too, so people could just copy and paste.

And Bobjuice:EvilFlic: :lol:

Ok I am definitely giving up. Unless someone can replicate it , it's going to be pretty impossible to find out what it is anyway. :)

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

I don't go around memorising the posts in every thread DD, no need to be snarky. :roll:

#1616259Post 30 of 332012-05-16

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

I wasn't being snarky, I just wanted you to look at the answers I gave you to your previous questions:(

Jeez I gave bobjuice the finger and he didn't take offence :lol: At least I hope he didn't ! :lol:

#1618027Post 31 of 332012-05-29

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

I've got it!!! :D Just to explain what it was, if anyone cares. :lol: The [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=87"]zip[/URL] files were in fact opening to .cue , but when I tried to open the cue file it was defaulting to VLC and that didn't work. When I removed VLC it defaulted to Toast, which apparently will work but you have to play with it. I refuse to believe it had to be that difficult on a mac :lol: Sooo, changed default to textedit . I now have cue sheets.:) Thank you for the link . :D

Thought it would be something simple. :)

#1618106Post 32 of 332012-05-29

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

Before having to sell my beautiful MacBook, I'd use [URL]http://cogx.org/[/URL] for cuesheets and various lossless formats. I just associated .cue to Cog ad that was it. There are probably more sophisticated apps now, it's been a few months.

#1618129Post 33 of 332012-05-30

Re: Cue & Tracklisting

I'm quite happy with simple, that was the reason I loved macs to start with. Sorry to hear about yours.:(

I just noticed you are from Florence I will be there early September. :)
