unable to find the single-track CD with the file browser

I have a few ripped CDs downloaded from the internet. All the rips do not have a corrected offset, even though they were ripped using dBpoweramp, as indicated by the tags. Probably whoever did it did not set the offset for the drive.

They are all single-track CDs.

I would like to apply a fix-offset to these rips using CUETools. However, there is one problem. I have already done similar operations on several multi-track rips and sometimes it worked, sometimes not, depending on whether the disc was in the CueTools database or not. Once I got an error message that the fix-offset could not be applied because the disc was not in the CUETools database and was only in AccurateRIP. I do not know if there are any workarounds for this problem.
Returning to the main issue, the file browser simply does not want to detect these single-track CDs even when I place each FLAC file in a separate folder. I don't know how to correctly indicate the CUETools file for verification or fix-offset operation.
Thanks in advance for any informations.

CUETools won't show/process a single audio file in a folder unless it has an embedded cue.
CUETools will show and/or process 'support' files in the same folder such as an external cue, m3u, etc.
So a simple m3u playlist with the filename should work.

Note: I just ran 'fix offset' with the CUETools database completely disabled and CUETools applied the offset to the files.
Note2: There is (with the default settings) a pop-up message that will appear when all tracks verify (>2) in the AccurateRip database and the rip does not yet exist in the CUETools database that will ask if you want to submit the rip to the CUETools database.

Note3: Whether or not 'fix offset' works depends on the settings for the 'fix offset' script and if there are AccurateRip v1 checksums at other offsets. With the default settings, 51% of the tracks need to have ARv1 confidence ≥ 2 in order to 'fix' the 'offset'.
