Lemonworld 2006-05-13 how to split it

[stimpee]

Ok boys and girls, here is how to split the recent 3hr Lemonworld broadcast. If you follow these detailed instructions to the letter you'll have the mp3's in no time at all:

1. Get the official download from Underworldlive
2. Install CueSplitter 0.6beta8 or better from somewhere. Here's a link to the download. Its freeware.
3. Get the CUE file. This was painstakingly made by me after repeated listening, sometimes requiring listening to the original tracks. After that I could mark each track and correctly label it too. The official tracklisting is way out on most of the titles.
4. Open CueSplitter and open the cue file. This will automatically open the mp3 if its in the same folder. Make sure the cue and mp3 are in the same folder!
5. Into the Comment: field copy this important message: www.underworldlive.com / rtsr.rowla.com NOT FOR SALE
6. Into the Year: field, simply type 2006.
7. For the File Mask click the +(Add) and type in a mask name of anything you like, and a mask of %n %a - %t. This will leave a track with, for example 01 Underworld - Born Slippy. Click Accept and make sure that this mask is selected in the main window.
8. Press F6 to bring up the Config window and in the CUE file mask and m3u file mask boxes, just type %T (capital T), then click Accept.
9. From the Genre: list, select Electronic (easiest way is to click on the list and press E, then select it)

(If you want to really know how to use CueSplitter, then there is an up-to-date tutorial on all the features.)

You are now ready to split the mp3. Click the Split! button and in a few seconds it will be done. This will create 37 mp3's that are tagged with Name, Title, Track Number, Genre and Comment, and are named in a numbered format with Artist and Title. It will also create a labelled WinAmp .m3u playlist and a new .cue file also.

Macintosh users: There is a freeware tool also called cue-splitter for MacOS X that will take the above mp3 and cue files, allow you to similarly split and tag the mp3 with Name, Title, Track Number and Genre, and name the files in a numbered format with Artist and Title.

EDIT: Some Mac users are finding that cue-splitter v2.6 and v2.5.2 crash when you click "split". The solution is to use v2.2.2 but there is a check inside it which means it will only run on MacOS 10.3. If youre using MacOS 10.3 this isnt a problem, but if you're using 10.4 the solution is below. I know this easy fix works because I made it myself!

1. get the cue-splitter v2.2.2
2. get HexEditor 2.0 from macupdate.com or versiontracker.com
3. load in the cue-splitter to HexEditor.
4. find Resources/MacOS and go to offset 00009E10
5. look for 10.3, change to 10.4.
6. save and run

The mp3 must be called 060513_96k.mp3 (that's what its called at underworldlive.com), and in the same folder as the cue file.

I haven't tested this so I don't know but it does say that the latest version has only been tested on Tiger, and not Panther. Try v2.5.2 or v2.2.2 if the latest one doesnt work for you. I'll try and test it today on my G4 and see what's up.

EDIT: Ok, i've done some detective work on the Mac and you're right. It crashes both v2.6 and v2.5.2 when I click "Split!" (I'm using MacOS 10.4.6). So I downloaded v2.2.2 but that came up with a message saying its for 10.3 only. So I did what most people would do, and got out the Hex Editor and changed the 10.3 string to 10.4 and ya know what? It loaded, AND it split the files without error. Gotta go now, but I'll be back later and post more instructions, or this hacked version of v2.2.2 for people to use.

I know what you're talking about, listening to Underworld music hours upon hours... *sighs*

Hehe, just kidding. Thanks for the comprehensive manual!
