If you could attach a (small) sample FLAC file that would be an advantage. Note that it will not make 8.10 as we're fixing bugs only, and this doesn't qualify.

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but embedding cuesheets has become fairly common practice since foobar made it mainstream. There seems to be a patch for XBMC in the ticket previously submitted, any chance that could make it into one of the next builds?

I think it's fair to say that foobar isn't mainstream.
Personally I think it's a completely stupid way to store music tracks - break them into tracks so you can have separate metadata available and so on!
I'm going through patches on trac this weekend that are in my area, so I'll take a good look at it.
Cheers,
Jonathan

I too would appreciate embedded CueSheet support albeit I use WavPack. I have all of my CDs archived this way but it would be nice to be able to use these files for playback! I'm on OS X (PowerPC) so I can't use Foobar2000 nor DeaDBeeF so it'd be a nice addition to XBMC.

There is very easy workaround for this. All you have to do is make cuesheets for your flac/ape albums. You can do it in foobar2000, all you need is CueSheet Creator plugin.
Simply mark the tracks belonging to the album and make cuesheet (right click -> utilities -> save as cuesheet...). Save cuesheet to the same folder where the flac/ape album file is located and rescan your XBMC library.

Why would we want to do that if the purpose is to get rid of cuesheets in the first place? This is not the "I-have-a-problem-forum", but the "I'd-like-more-features" forum.
