Hello,
I have a single ALAC file with a cue sheet.
I load the cue file and after i select all the tracks thats I need to split, the output files are names as the FolderName-1.m4a, FolderName-2.m4a...
How can I change the output file name so that I display the track number and track title and artist ...
05. Memory Remains (Metallica)
Thanks for the help

Split Cue file with proper filenames
Re: Split Cue file with proper filenames
You set the format for the filenames in Max's preferences (in the Output section).
Re: Split Cue file with proper filenames
Matt,
The output file name format is set to
{trackNumber}. {trackTitle}{trackArtist}
the 2 options below it are ticked as well....
and still the file format is output to
Artist - Album -01.m4a
My only guess is that the tag field names are not the same in ALAC.
is it ?
thanks

Re: Split Cue file with proper filenames
The file name info when you are splitting from a cue file comes from the cue file, not from the sound file.
I just tried this myself and it worked perfectly: I pasted your format string right into Max and converted from an ALAC/CUE pair and it worked exactly right.
Are you sure you're doing this right - are you handing Max the *cue* file? You must not hand it the ALAC file; it will never see the cue file if you do that.

Re: Split Cue file with proper filenames
Mattn,
This is getting to the point of frustration for me.
I have no idea why i am not able to split a FLAC file from its Cue file.
I have gone to File - open - *.cue - Encode button .... and the result is the same
I get the "artist" - "album" - 1.flac as the split file names
The output has been set to
{discNumber}.{trackNumber}. {trackTitle} ({albumArtist})
Can actually MAX split a Flac file into multiple files with its proper tag names ?????
PLEASE HELP.
Thanks

Re: Split Cue file with proper filenames
Here's a movie of me splitting a file from its cue using exactly the format you stated:

Thanks Matt,
I have used the exact same setting as the ones in your video and i still have the same results.
I also noticed that the cue and the file is in flac and during split its being converted to alac.
can we discuss a possible teamviewer session to look this up with me..
thanks

Re: Split Cue file with proper filenames
I don't know what it's being converted to in the movie, but I started with a flac because in some of your earlier messages you said things like "I have no idea why i am not able to split a FLAC file from its Cue file." Part of the difficulty here, for me, is that you keep shifting your ground - you've given more than one possible output title format, for example. I wish you'd pick a single story and stick to it.disorient wrote:I also noticed that the cue and the file is in flac and during split its being converted to alac.
It might help if you'd show the cue file you're starting with (just paste its content right into a message). If you refer in the output format to a tag that's not present in the cue file, odd things can happen (on my machine I can end up with no output at all).
