CueMaster 1.7c is a CD Utility product from cuemaster.org, get 5 Stars SoftSea Rating, CueMaster is the best freeware cue sheet creator. Creating a cue sheet for a CD has never been so easy. CueMaster can retrieve CD track info from the free online album database FreeDB, or recover cuepoints from the MP3 file itself.
Cue sheets are hard to find these days. Many download sites and P2P programs offer full CDs in one big MP3 file, but finding the correct tracknames and lengths can take a lot of of time. Burning an audio CD results in 1 long 80 minute track instead of separate audio tracks. But not any more: we have the solution!
This software allows you to find the CD on FreeDB.org and convert it straight into a cue sheet that can be used by musiCutter, CDRWIN or mp3cue. If FreeDB doesnt have trackdata for the CD, you can try the unique MP3 scanning feature. It will automatically search through a large MP3 file to find split-points and uses them to recreate a new cue sheet. If possible, it can even extract cue sheets embedded in ID3v2 tags.
You can save the cue sheet to a .cue file or a .xmcd file. You can use musiCutter to split the mp3 file into multiple parts using the .cue file, or Brrrn to burn a CD with correct track-markers. CueMaster can also export the tracklist to a .xml, .html, .csv or .text file. And it can write the cue sheet to an ID3v2-tag inside an mp3 files (like mp3cue does).
But it has more: you can use it as a full featured cue sheet editor. Create a new cue sheet from scratch by adding tracks. Cut, copy, paste, delete and move tracks and edit the titles and durations.
Have you ever had this: youve downloaded all tracks from an album separately, and you want to glue them together with some join-tool, but you also want a matching cue sheet. CueMaster can do it: it reads all MP3-files in a folder you specify, and creates a cue sheet with correct tracklengths. It even calculates the FreeDB DiscID, so you can get the tracklist from FreeDB.

KNOWN PROBLEMS
* It doesn't always check for correct user-input values, buffer-overflows are rare, but possible.

* WISHLIST FOR FUTURE VERSIONS
* Manual splitpoint selection tool (something similar like the track-split function in WinOnCD burn-software) with a waveform-view, so you load a mp3-file and click where you want the next track to begin.
* Full ID3v2-tag support (MP3 Scanner currently only uses ID3v1-tags as splitpoints).
* MAYBE: Tracklist editing for multiple tracks at once (for now, only Pasting multiple tracks will work). The license of this windows utility software is Freeware, you can free download and free use this Windows Utility software.
