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.
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.
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?
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.
