CUETools.exe
Usage: CUETools.exe [/<profile>] <filename>
CUETools.exe <filename> opens the usual dialog with input box set to <filename>.
<filename> Any supported input file such as a CUE file, audio file with Embedded CUE,
M3U file, ZIP or RAR archive (containing a CUE file + audio file(s)), or
the first of a group of audio track files. Folders are not supported when
a profile is specified.
profile options:
A settings file for a profile must exist. A settings file is created
when a profile is opened in the GUI for the first time then exited.
A profile settings file is edited by selecting the profile in the GUI,
making the necessary changes, then exiting the profile or GUI.
/verify starts automatic AccurateRip verification
'verify' profile default settings include; Action: 'Verify' with Script: 'only if found'
/convert starts a conversion (encodes a single-file or file-per-track album image)
'convert' profile default settings include; Action: 'Encode' with Script: 'default'
/fix starts AccurateRip verification and conversion (with possible offset correction).
'fix' profile default settings include; Action: 'Encode' with Script: 'fix offset'
/<custom> starts action set in user created profile with custom settings.
CUETools will not close when complete so you can't run in a loop. This
command-line was intended for use in a Windows 'Send to' shortcut.

Known issues
No CTDB verification when a profile is specified (fixed in CUETools 2.2.2).
CUETools.ALACEnc.exe
Usage : CUETools.ALACEnc.exe [options] <input.wav> (or "-" for stdin)
Options:
-0 .. -10 Compression level, default 5.
-o <file> Output filename, or "-" for stdout, or nul.
-q --quiet Quiet mode.
--verify Verify during encoding.
Advanced Options:
-b # Block size (samples).
-p # Padding (bytes).
-s <method> Stereo decorrelation (independent,estimate,evaluate,search).
--history-modifier # Rice history modifier {max} or {min},{max}, default 4,4.
LPC options:
-m <method> Prediction order search (estimate,estsearch,logfast,search).
-e # Estimation depth (1..30).
-w <func>[,<func>] One or more window functions (welch,hann,flattop,tukey).

If you plan to use CUETools.ALACEnc.exe as a command line program outside of the CUETools suite, you will need:
CUETools.ALACEnc.exe CUETools.Codecs.dll Newtonsoft.Json.dll
plus this from the \plugins folder
CUETools.Codecs.ALAC.dll
Copy all the files to the same location (no \plugins folder required).
CUETools.ARCUE.exe (former ArCueDotNet.exe)
Usage: CUETools.ARCUE.exe [options] <filename> Options: -O, --offset <samples> Use specific offset; -v, --verbose Verbose mode |
Remarks: The option to use a specific offset is available since CUETools 2.2.2
CUETools.ARCUE.exe has far too many dependencies to use as a command line program outside of the CUETools suite.
