i'm trying to use the cue sheet feature to do gapless playback on an aac file. i was able to get it running using mp3s but haven't had success with aac as of yet.

my first cuesheet attempt starts as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------

performer "various"
title "sessions one - disc 1: mixed by john course"
file "sessions one disc 1.m4a" m4a

this doesn't seem to work. after examining a faq on cue sheet syntax there seems to be no provision for the aac format when specifying the file flag. does that mean it should be:

performer "various"
title "sessions one - disc 1: mixed by john course"
file "sessions one disc 1.m4a" binary

or should the format flag say something else?

xbmc ignores the format flag, so it won't effect it.

your best bet is to get a correctly formatted cue by extracting a cd with something like eac.

then edit it as required (you should only need edit the file line)

xbmc does not mind what format the file is (or shouldn't!. it's only been tested with .mp3, however.

cheers,

the solution was alot easier than i anticipated.
the file extension for the cue file was in uppercaps. i changed it to lowercaps and voila! :fixed: m4a with perfect gapless playback!
