I have a very unusual use for cue sheets. I record concerts for several music groups. I wanted to give CDs to the other musicians right at the concert, but they always wanted CDs with tracks so they could go to a particular song. I used to have to take the recording home and figure out where to put tracks and burn the CD, I couldn't do this on the fly at the concert.
So I came up with an unusual solution, I built a recorder out of a small mini-ITX board (original EPIA) with a sound card that connects to the mixer, AND a midi port. The mixer I use has some midi buttons for controlling an external recorder. I wrote a program for my little computer that reads the midi messages and starts recording to a wav file when record is pushed. It also creates a cue file with the name of the wav file it just started recording to. When I push one of the other transport buttons on the mixer I have the program add a new track entry to the cue file. When the concert is over I just have EAC burn a CD using the cue sheet and get a CD with tracks, no post processing required. The musicians love it, they get a CD right after the concert and I don't have to spend a lot of extra time post processing to make the CD. I can then just take the cue sheet and wave and put it on my server and have the concert to listen to. There is one problem, I have to remember to push the "track" button durring the concert. There have been a couple times I have been so caught up in the music I forgot to push the track button.
