CUE Sheet Validator and Editor

CUE Sheet Validator and Editor is a desktop Red Book audio CD CUE sheet parser, sector
alignment verifier, metadata editor, and album layout generator for Linux.
A lightweight Linux alternative to CUETools for inspecting lossless album rips, validating
track index boundaries, fixing legacy text encodings, and building clean CUE files.

Key Features:
- Red Book CUE Sheet Parser & Editor: Parses and edits single-file image and multi-track
CUE sheets with MM:SS:FF (75 frames per second) timing, REM metadata, CATALOG, ISRC,
PREGAP, INDEX 00 pregap markers, and INDEX 01 track start offsets.
- Referenced Audio Probing & Sector Alignment: Probes referenced WAV, FLAC, MP3, Ogg, and
M4A files via Python wave and bundled FFmpeg to verify file existence, 44.1 kHz sample
rate, 588-sample CDDA sector alignment, and pregap/duration validity.
- Real CDDB / FreeDB 8-Hex DiscID Computation: Calculates the standard 8-digit hexadecimal
CDDB / FreeDB DiscID from track frame offsets and lead-out length.
- Folder-to-CUE Builder & UTF-8 Charset Fixer: Generates compliant CUE sheets from album
track folders, converts legacy codepages to clean UTF-8, and exports CUE and JSON reports.
