Embedded FLAC Cue Sheet Support?

@DanielaE, there's a small glitch bug when we use external cuesheet, if I trac it, can I assign it to you ?

Sure!

May I humbly ask what the status is? In the latest nightlies my flacs with embedded cuesheets are still not scraped, but I would have thought that after MadMax's pull request was closed this would work. :confused:

Any news on this? I would hate for it to miss the next merge window

Another vote for this, this is how I store all my music.

If tagged properly, you still get metadata for all the individual tracks from the VORBIS comments.

My tags are something like:

ALBUM=Album Title
ARTIST=Album Artist
TRACKNUMBER[1]=1
TITLE[1]=Track 1 title
TRACKNUMBER[2]=2

etc.

You can also handle multi-disc sets using a DISCNUMBER tag.

Works fine.

There seems to be a pull request here: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/982

Could a kind soul check if this needs any more work or if it could be considered for post-Frodo? Thanks!

*Bump*

If you want to copy a CD for burning, perhaps. Who does that anymore? If you're copying it for playback, then it is completely unnecessary, and as you can see, is not supported in many players. No metadata per track is a really crappy way to go.

And no, I didn't get to the trac ticket, so it's not in trunk. Whether it will end up there or not depends on someone having the time to look at it. At the moment I have too many other things on my plate. If someone would grab the current patch, rebase on master and do a pull request then it would have a much higher chance of going in.

It is not at all unnecessary, put on a set of headphones and play back dark side of the moon after it is split into tracks or any other album with tracks that blend into the next one without gaps and you will see right there why it is better to rip those albums as a single file, that is unless you dont find audible glitches at the point where the one track ends and the next begins irritating.
Aside from that a single image rip is the most accurate way to archive a CD album, after all that is what it is. An album on CD is an album, very often created by the artist with the intention the listener treates it as a continuous audio experience. It is not always intended to be a collection of unrelated single audio tracks.
