PlayIt Live can work with CUE sheets to display and report individual tracks within a larger audio file. A CUE sheet is a metadata file that describes the track positions within a single audio file, commonly used for pre-recorded shows or albums.

To use CUE sheets in PlayIt Live, you need both the audio file (typically in WAV, FLAC or MP3 format) and its corresponding .cue file in the same folder with matching filenames. When you add the audio file as a track via Manage > Tracks, PlayIt Live will store it as a single track in your database.

When the track is loaded into a player during playout, PlayIt Live reads the CUE sheet and displays the individual tracks listed within it on the player interface. As the audio file plays through different sections, the player will show which track is currently playing based on the timings in the CUE sheet. This information is also sent to your Now Playing targets, allowing listeners or reporting systems to see the individual track names rather than just the filename of the complete audio file.

This is particularly useful if you've recorded a complete pre-recorded show as a single audio file and want listeners to see which song or segment is currently playing, or if you need accurate reporting of individual tracks for royalty purposes.

If you need to create CUE files, PlayIt VoiceTrack can generate them automatically when you use the Mixdown Audio feature by ticking the Save CUE file to same folder option. Alternatively, you can use online tools like https://cuegenerator.net to create CUE sheets manually for existing audio files.
