SYNOPSIS

cuerecover [-s sec] bin-file [bin-file ...]

DESCRIPTION

cuerecover attempts to generate a usable cue sheet for CD images which are missing their .cue (or .ccd, .mds, etc) files. The generated cue sheet is written to standard output.

If a single .bin file is given, it's assumed to hold all the tracks (which might only be one). If multiple .bin files are given, each one is assumed to represent one track of the same CD image.

For data tracks that hold ISO9660, UFS, or Macintosh HFS filesystems, the recovered track should be correct, provided the .bin file wasn't truncated or otherwise corrupted.

For audio tracks, silence detection is used to find the split points between tracks. This means that in cases where one track segues into another, the two tracks will be combined in the resulting cue sheet. Also, if there are long periods of silence within a single track, this track will be split into two or more tracks.

OPTIONS

--help Print short usage string.
-a Assume all tracks are audio. Disable data track detection. Trying to listen to a data track as audio will usually give you a headache.
-d Only include data track(s) in the .cue file.
-s Minimum amount of silence for detecting the split point between two audio tracks (default: 2). Argument is in seconds, and non-integers are allowed. 0 means to disable splitting tracks: all the audio tracks will be combined into one in the .cue sheet. 2. This option is ignored when multiple .bin file arguments are given, since they're already split into tracks.

Always include a space between an option and its argument (e.g. -s 1, not -s1).

EXIT STATUS

As usual, 0 for success, non-zero for failure.
