Hi. I just wanted to let you know I stumbled across the article and enjoyed it.

Specifically, I wanted to address footnote #6 (where you had to swap byte order of the audio files). I've learned this happens when first ripping to bin/toc with cdrdao and then converting that toc to a cue. If you know you are going to do this ahead of time, you can skip the bchunk swap option by appending 0x20000 to the end of your driver (like this --driver generic-mmc:0x20000). You only want to do this if you specifically plan on converting to cue, otherwise the resulting toc/bin will have the static issue. I'm not sure why this is. I had written it off as something expected in the original bin/cue format.

@mirakus-0f-tyr That's really useful to know, thanks for reporting back on this! (For some reason I only noticed your comment with a one-year delay, apologies for that, but better late than never!)
