Absolute awesome, works like trains toilet!

Thank You
thanks a lot for this + i agree this should be standard!

Awsome!
Pozdrowienia z Polski!
Thanks a lot, standart plugin from winamp site is crap – skips
through tracks,
plugin from this page works exellent, thx a lot!
(i am using winamp 5.35)
Still works with the new Winamp 5.55 which was released a couple days ago.
works great! someone should tell winamp to make this standard! Thanks
When I rename the cue, Winamp cannot open the cue file. Anybody? Both files are renamed as same ex
Armin van Buuren – A State of Trance 404.mp3
Armin van Buuren – A State of Trance 404.cue
Kalman, make sure you have also updated the FILE line inside the .cue file. It tells the .cue file where to look for the .mp3. You’ll want your FILE line to look like this:
FILE “Armin van Buuren – A State of Trance 404.mp3″ MP3
tnx a lot, works for me
thx a lot! works fine with my winamp 5.55 running under m$ windows vista x86 SP1
Thank’s, this plugin rulez! One of the best plugins for Winamp for listening compilation!
This plugin shoud be a part of the standard installation of Winamp
I hope in a newest version that manage the content of the cue files like the audio tracks, improve the compatibilty with the library and allow to scan into cue files and recognise every single track..
Thanks for the download. Unfortunately, this version does not support Unicode CUE files, which is the default for what seems to be popular CUE generation software called Medieval Software CUE Splitter, and was apparently used on a lot of music that I’m trying to listen to. I can go back and reformat all of the CUE files in UTF-8, but then International characters are not rendered properly. It really should be fixed in the plugin. Does anyone know if source code is still available? I can fix it myself if I can get ahold of the source, and then post the fix. I tried emailing the purported author, but got no response.
Thanks for your help,
David
Thank the gods for this plugin!
I thought my chances of listening to Crow’sclaw’s newest album in FLAC were equal to zero, but then a friend of mine told me of this plugin, so I checked it out. To my great relief it worked, and it was easy getting it to work too
Just add the cue-sheet to the playlist in Winamp, and voilá: Epic Win!

thank u it’s work
Winamp crashes if I open .cue with Winamp through external command like winamp.exe “path_to/album.cue”
Opening .cue from Winamp’s window is OK.
Windows 7 x64.
And thanks for the plugin
probably most useful plugin ever, thanks for sharing
GREAT !
Good Job~ just looking for it
Thank you very match for a really working CUE player for Winamp! Great thing!
Plugin super but is gluckable.
It not right define time for song and if You use “Stop after current” it stop after some seconds of new song.
Also it crash winamp, sometimes.
I don’t understand, why author not work under this plugin, more?
thanks for finally making a working plugin!!!!
waited so long for this
many fanx from nz
When open the cue file in Winamp for the first time the volume is set to 100%. How can I fix this bug?
Turn down your volume before opening?
Volume before openins is 11%. After open cue file the volume on volume bar is 11% but real volume 100%. After clicking on volime bar the volume set to 11%. Why volume is reseting to 100% after I open cue file first time?
Sorry, man, wish I could tell you. This isn’t my plugin. I’m just trying to make it more readily available.
This plugin is crap, just like winamp and its inability for playing cue sheets by itself. This shitty plugin distorts the audio, specially the low frequencies. If you don’t believe me, try playing the mp3 file enabling/disabling it while listening on a good pair of headphones (like AKG or SENNHEISER).
I tested. You are quite all right.Distorts and no low frequencies…
Great work! THX! Monkey’s Audio .ape .cue don’t work. So sad:(
I’m using v5.581 and .ape .cue files work fine.
Maybe me lamer
? mp3 .cue work, lossless don’t. Winamp v.5.58 Don’t know. Enybody Russian here? Help needed 
I think you are on the wrong track assuming your problem has something to do with lossless format, since .cue .flac also works fine for me. As I stated in an earlier post, the plugin does not support Unicode cue sheets. That is likely your problem. Email me one of your .cue files if you want verification. You can convert the file to UTF-8 using the following:

If I could get hold of the source, I could fix this problem.
MumblingFumbler, THX. I thought that my difficulties caused by the code page, but did not know this for sure. I will try to solve this problem. Thanks again for your help.
I think WinAmp developers fuck Us with support CUE.
This Plugin good but is gluckable.
I listen the most music with APE, FLAC and CUE used every day and have frequently crash Winamp.
I was wrote to WinAMP.com site but no answer, no moves for support CUE by internal/standard plugin.
Maybe I will change player …
Great! THX!
Thank you very much! it’s an excellent plug in!!!
thank so much…seriously. I couldn’t find this plug in anywhere!!! thanks!!!!!!
yes, no answer from winamp!
Working like a charm! thx so much!
Thanks! It also functions with 5.6!
Thanks! Finely I”m find it.
Fue el único lugar donde conseguí una versión que funcionara. ¡Gracias!
De nada!
AWESOME PLUGIN, i also think this should be standard, wow, i have been searching for a working cue plugin for long time! and i found it here, GOOD STUFF
!
Been using version 0.57c for a couple of years now and it has been working well on all my FLAC/CUE and APE/CUE files even with the newest Winamp 5.6.
thanks! working
had issues with ape as well (not creating virtualplaylist)
turns out thatb the plugin has issues with path names. if it is not creating the playlist check the path to the cue file for special characters (eg. ],[,&) and simplify path if you find some.
Thanks for this valuable piece of info. I had the same problems with some cue files working and some not, until I read your comment. And sure enough, I had a comma character in the paths where it didn’t work. Removed the commas from the paths and now it works fine (with 5.621 and ape files).
winamp 5.61 doesn’t start after installing this plugin.
several winamp processes hang out in taskman.
after deleting plugin files started working again.
sad :[
this is it!
finally working one … thnx a lot
cheers for this!
OMG!!!!!!!Thanks a lot!!!!!!
It works for winamp v5.622
THX
it works
My Winamp 5.623 sometimes crashes with CUE Player 0.57c.
Workaround for me: Configure the plugin’s options. Switch on “Enabple playlist extensions” and “Try to resolve missing files”.
Options survived Winamp restart only if they were set in an Winamp invocation with admin rights.
