Alright, this has been a long lengthy process, it began with me thinking I could use SF Acid to make a mix CD with crossfades and such.. now I have a nice big WAV file, and I made a .cue file using one I already had downloaded as a model.
The problem is that Nero tells me that there is an error in line 45... I'm not really sure what this error is at all as everything seems like it should be in order.
Here is everything nearby line 45 (at first it changed every time I counted down, but now I'm pretty sure it's the right one)
INDEX 01 51:50:32
TRACK 14 AUDIO
TITLE "Red Hot Chili Peppers - Tear"
INDEX 01 55:20:79
TRACK 15 AUDIO
Line 45 is the second last one there that reads " INDEX 01 55:20:79" It doesn't seem wrong to me at all.
I was going to get this CD burnt quick and then drive it over to my girlfriend's house, but that was 2 hours ago, and now she's surely asleep.
Can some one, anyone, please Please Help??? What is wrong with LINE 45? WHY??? AHHH.

and just as an addendum... the next track is indexed AFTER track 14 so that can't be the problem, if it might have been.
1. I think Burn4Free (free!) has a tool for creating audio specific CUE files but dont quote me on that
2. There is a roundabout way for making an audio CUE file should you absolutely require it.(1) Using WinISO, create a multitrack ISO (one track per song duh) and save the ISO somewhere. (2) Convert that ISO to a BIN file. It may automatically create a CUE for you. If not, grab yourself a free little program called CDMage. (http://cdmage.orcon.net.nz/frames.html)
To Create a CUE File Using CDMage: (1)Open the CD Image using CDMage, (2)File --> Save As, (3)Give it a different name. The save process will automatically create a CUE file.
3. Another roundabout way of making a CUE is to first create the audio cd using Nero and then ripping it with something like WinISO, converting it to BIN and so on as described above.
4. Is there something ultra fancy with your WAV file that you cant just burn it as an audio cd without fancy CUEs?
No, i think it is a problem with the cue file itself. Thanks for the help, though. In the meantime I made it again from scratch in notepad and this time it worked... but that's the only thing that works now, because Nero has decided that my 79:12 wave file is too long for the CD that Nero itself thinks has a larger capacity... I even enabled overburn, but it won't give me the flipping option to overburn it, so.. well... you know how it is when computers are so friendly. Needless to say I am in very high spirits.
Enabling overburning is only half the battle dude. You need to specify the amount you are going to let Nero overburn by changing the numbers in the box right below where you enable overburning.
Question: do you have one single 79 minute file or a whole bunch of files totalling 79 minutes? If its the case of only one file, why?
It's one file because I made the audio CD with ACID, which I thought was what my brother had used to make a mix CD before.. I did a bunch of crossfading and stuff like that so that all the tracks blend together and the only way I could save it was as one looong file.
I'm no audio professional so i may be wrong but strictly from a burning standpoint, it would be much simpler to have individual tracks IMO. You might consider giving Burn4Free a try (i think it is tailored to music burning but i could be wrong). Did you try creating a CD image of the file and burning it as an image rather than an audio file --> audio cd?
Note that when burning as individual files you may need/want to adjust the time between tracks. Initially it is 2 seconds i believe.
Yes indeed, if the song shows up as 400+ minutes of audio there is no way you are burning that on a single cdr. You will undoubtably have to split that up.
it's not that long though.. I have no idea why Nero thinks it is.. the wav fiel itself is 79 minutes long, and the file is 799 MB, so why does it think it is that huge?
