Probably because all your cue files are correct!

That's part of what I am trying to communicate here, and obviously
failing. It appears that .cur files are only created when the LMS
scanner thinks it encounters errors in a cue file. It could be an old
.cue file that points to files that no longer exist, for instance. Or (I
think) it could be the target file contains tags that do not match the
metadata defined in the cue sheet. One recent report involved an
embedded cue sheet that was malformed. It defined several empty tracks,
so .cur files appeared in the library.

Thanks for replying. I appreciate having some discussion about this,
because I am very aware that I might be entirely wrong. It's also very
possible to regard the .cur files as a useful service that informs users
when there are hidden problems in their libraries. But it also seems to
be true that if the .cur files were not visible to the user, there would
be no problem with them in LMS.



LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS. Mostly virtual players,
occasionally with SB Radio, Boom or Classic.
