Using Cut points in MP3 Direct Cut

Gene
 

This discussion started on the main list and I'm moving it here.

I have seen two people on different lists say that using cue points with MP3 Direct cut is faster and easier in splitting a file than marking a setment, saving it, then deleting it, marking another segment, etc.

I'm not sure if it is marginally faster or easier but I don't think it is much.

You still have to rename all the segments if you create them with cue points.  Therefore, I see little improvement in using them then by marking a segment and saving it with the name you want at the time, compared with going back and changing the names of the cue points after they have been saved.

I found the comparison interesting.  I had never worked with cue points before and I wasn't aware of just how you do it until a list member explained it.  I had thought there would be little saving in time and effort and comparing confirmed what I thought.

I don't want to neglect to say that I appreciate the suggestion to use cue points from the person who made it.  I know about them but I had never looked into how to use them and it was interesting to try using them after seeing the explanation.
