Bug Description

.CUE files aren't extracted to tracks accurately with the real duration of a track. In general they start with three or four seconds in silence more than necessary and end with the same or more seconds. This doesn't happen on XLD.app, for example.

Do you mean that when tracks are split from an existing file the duration comes out incorrectly? If so, what format are the source and destination files? Which version of Max?

Yes, I do. The version is the latest 0.8.1 and the format is FLAC +CUE to AIFF 16 bits Big Endian. But someone in the forum told me about editing the .cue file with TextEdit and remove "INDEX 00" of the tracks. It works but the track starts a bit later than the original source track ( FLAC +CUE from EAC Exact Audio Copy program for Windows) and XLD.app (X Lossless Decoder application for Mac) do it well with or without the "INDEX 00".

Here is the TXT file from the CUE file open with TextEdit:

I forgot. The problem with "INDEX 00" is that the track starts 4 seconds more or less later than the original. And with "INDEX 00" removed starts almost 1 second later than the original.

I know these diferences only tested by Max.app and XLD.app. Exact Audio Copy.exe is only the source of the FLAC +CUE files.
