CD Cue Sheets

The CD Cue Sheet file is a metadata file which describes how the tracks of a CD or DVD are laid out. Cue sheets are
stored as plain text files and commonly have a .cue filename extension. CDRWIN first introduced cue sheets,
which are now supported by many optical disc authoring applications and media players.
For an Audio CD, a Cue Sheet specifies titles and performers for the disc and its tracks as well as the names of one
or more audio files to be used. MP3, WAV and BIN files are often used, although some programs support other for-
mats. Cue sheets are especially useful when burning or listening to live sets where all tracks are recorded in one
file.
Cue sheets are also used for many types of CDs in conjunction with an image file. The image file generally has a
".bin" extension. (.pmi extension in Pyramix and .cue for the Cue Sheet file.)

Export

CD Cue sheet file export is fully implemented in Pyramix 6.1 Beta 1 in compliance with the CDRWIN specifications.
The .cue file is generated at the same time as the .pmi disc image file. However, many CD burning applications do
not fully support the CDRWIN Cue Sheet specification.
