Description sacha-kde 2005-09-18 03:08:18 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I archive my CDs as follows:

  cdparanoia 1-
  cuegen -o cdda.cue
  flac -f --cuesheet=cdda.cue cdda.wav

This leaves me with a single .flac file containing a cuesheet, from which I can extract individual tracks if necessary (e.g. to transcode for a portable audio player).

Unfortunately Amarok presents the .flac file as a single song. It would be nice if it could spot the cuesheet in the metadata and present the file as an album.

Comment 1 Yung-Chin Oei 2006-01-24 01:20:10 UTC

As a start, it might perhaps be feasible to extend the mp3 cue-file support that is now built in to amarok to flac (i.e. with an external cue file)?

FLAC file with embedded CUE sheet support is a feature I definitely would like to have in amarok.

Comment 4 Maurizio Colucci 2006-05-19 22:08:25 UTC

EXcuse me, what if I have ape + cue, or wav + cue, mpc + cue? Shall we file a different wish for each format? AFAIU the code should act at a low level, i.e. when the music is already translated into amarok's internal format, so why do we need to specify what format is the music?

Comment 5 munlinux 2007-01-18 11:55:12 UTC

Without knowing all the details, Maurizio Colucci's position makes sense to me - if we know how to use CUE sheets for one format, it should be possible to do it for other formats as well.

FLAC, however, is somewhat of a special case still. If I understand correctly, the issue is that (as pointed out in the original report and comment #3) flac files can incorporate the cue sheet in the file itself.

This is a duplicate of bug #112477, I think.
