TOC2CUE(1)

💿 TOC2CUE — bestie's guide to turning TOC into cue ✨

okay so real talk, this is the toc2cue page from the CDRDAO manual, and it's genuinely so useful once you get it. sit with me 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

toc2cue — converts a TOC file of cdrdao(1) into a .cue file 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

toc2cue [-v verbosity_level] input_toc_file output_cue_file

toc2cue [-V]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

toc2cue converts a TOC file of cdrdao(1) into a .cue file. that's the whole job, she's a converter, she's an icon 💅

okay but here's the part you actually need to hear, and I'm saying it with love: the cue file it spits out is only valid if the toc-file was created with cdrdao(1) using the commands read-toc or read-cd. that's it, those two. no cap.

if you're out here with a manually created or manually edited toc-file, the cue file may not be correct, and I need you to sit with that. this program just checks for the most obvious toc-file features that cannot be converted to a cue file. that's the entire vibe check it does, it's not doing a deep audit bestie 😭

and furthermore: if the toc-file contains audio tracks, the byte order of the image file will be wrong. that means static noise when the cue file is used for recording — even with cdrdao(1) itself. even. with. cdrdao. itself. the tool that made the toc in the first place. tragic fr fr 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -v verbosity_level — sets the verbosity level to use. it can be a integer between 1 and 3. by default, only fatal errors are displayed. a verbosity level of 1 shows warnings, 2 shows warnings and errors, 3 shows warnings, errors and internal errors. so like, the higher the number the more she tells you, pick your chaos level 🌈
• -V — prints the version of toc2cue. short and sweet, she's giving main character energy 👑
