OK, I know what the deal is. EAC is not the problem. EAC does include the performer data:
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "Enter Sandman"
PERFORMER "Metallica"
ISRC 000000000000
INDEX 00 00:00:00
INDEX 01 00:00:33
After I use Replaygain via Foobar v0.9 b13, it strips the data out of the CUE, and it looks like this:
RACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "Enter Sandman"
REM REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN -5.52 dB
REM REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_PEAK 0.999969
INDEX 00 00:00:00
INDEX 01 00:00:33
Actually I have noticed that too. Just didn't remember it now. Since foobar "spoiled" your cue files, it would be fair to ask it to fix them back. fb 0.9 cannot do that, but 0.83 can. You may need the
special installer (I don't know if the standard installer has the cue module.)
Here is how:
1. Load the cue files to a foobar playlist
2. Select all > Right-click > Masstagger > Edit tags > Actions to perform - Add > Copy value... > Source: Artist, Destination: Comment > Run.
That's all. foobar 0.83 will recreate the performer lines without altering the cue files otherwise (it does not write the Comment field to the files or remove the replay gain lines).
After that you can import the CUE files to MC.
As hit_ny said MC has its own way to handle cue tracks. You may want to search for CUE by user
hit_ny or my user name. You should set the message age to start from about two years ago. And of course we'll try to help you if you have further questions.
