[?]What is a CUE sheet (.cue) file?
A CUE sheet is a plain-text metadata file defining how tracks on a compact disc (CD-DA) or disc image (BIN, FLAC, WAV, APE) are laid out, including track durations, pregaps, performers, and titles.
[?]How does convrtr translate CD audio timestamps?
Compact Disc Digital Audio uses a timecode format of MM:SS:FF where FF represents frames at 75 sectors per second. convrtr calculates the exact sector frame count and translates each index mark into precise seconds and milliseconds.
[?]Does this parser support multi-file CUE sheets and ISRCs?
Yes! convrtr parses multi-file references, CATALOG barcodes, ISRC codes, CD-Text data, REM metadata comments, and multiple INDEX positions (such as INDEX 00 pregaps).
[?]Are my audio disc metadata files uploaded to any server?
Never. All text parsing and JSON generation run entirely inside your browser memory with zero network requests.
[?]Why convert from CUE to JSON?
CUE Document (CUE) and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) serve distinct roles across the digital workflow. Converting to JSON provides optimized compatibility, modern compression efficiency, or standardized playback across web browsers, operating systems, and media production environments.
[?]Is the CUE to JSON conversion lossless or lossy?
The output format (JSON) is inherently lossless or supports lossless operation. Your original visual or audio fidelity is mathematically preserved without quantization artifacts.
[?]Does convrtr upload my files to any cloud server?
Never. convrtr is architected with a strict zero-upload model. All processing, decoding, decompression, and encoding happen 100% locally on your machine using sandboxed WebAssembly and Web Workers. Your data never touches an external server, database, or analytics collector.
[?]How can I convert CUE to JSON from the terminal / command line?
You can execute this conversion locally via command-line utilities such as ffmpeg, cwebp, or ImageMagick. For example: see the developer terminal recipe provided in the technical specifications dossier above. convrtr provides the identical local-first capability directly inside your browser without installing CLI packages.
[?]Can I batch convert multiple CUE files to JSON simultaneously?
Yes. You can drop multiple .cue files into the instrument to process them concurrently in browser Web Workers, or click 'Open in Master Studio' to queue mixed formats, configure individual targets, and export as a single ZIP archive.
