Since many of you are into doing 'needle drops' of LPs, I thought this link could be of interest:
http://www.regeert.nl/cuesheet/
It's a site called Cuesheet Heaven; for those who don't know, a cuesheet is a plain text file used by many CD burning programs along with the audio and/or data file(s) in which you specify track start times, source files, CD-TEXT entries and other stuff.
Making cuesheets available over the Internet might be somewhat questionable since an MP3 rip and a cuesheet would be all that's needed to burn a pirate CD -- but I digress.
For us vinyl archivists this has an interesting side-application; since most people record entire sides at once, the tracks need to be split later, either by hand or using software such as LP Ripper.
I've just made my first needle drop using the start times specified on a cuesheet d/l'ed from the site and aside from a few adjustments, most were spot-on.
Beats having to type in the cuesheet by hand as I'd been doing before, if you ask me.
Cheers,
Damián
