The Cuesheet (cue) and TOC (toc) file formats both describe the layout of a CD.
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
A Cuesheet or TOC file has an (optional) global section, followed by any number
|
|
of track sections.
|
|
|
|
Lines (with a few exceptions for the toc format) begin with a keyword, which
|
|
may be followed by whitespace separated fields. Some keywords are only allowed
|
|
in the global section or a track section.
|
|
|
|

Comments
