[Flac-dev] --cuesheet include the full cue sheet or just the seekponints?
Dear list
Sorry to ask a user's question on developer list. I didn't find the user
list.
I am experimenting with --cuesheet and encoded a flac file with a
cuesheet. Result is:
* Totem on opensuse 10.2 opens the flac file with no meta data, no
play list. "Next" button doesn't work;
* Mplayer on opensuse 10.2 opens the flac file with no meta data,
no play list. "Next" button doesn't work;
* foobar on Windows open the flac file and show a playlist. The
title for each track is "track #" where # is the track number.
If ask foobar to open the corresponding cuesheet, foobar display
a playlist of rich information like correct track name (song
name) and performer information.
My guess is either cuesheet is embeded but non of my player can let me
see it, or only seekpoints (or, information about where each track
starts) is embeded in flac file?
Thanks in advance!
Here is the cue file I used.

Is cuesheet generally considered a "good" technique or a "bad" technique when used to distribute music in digital format? I ask this because, most of my players (Totem, Mplayer, iTunes) don't support playback using cuesheet yet I see cuesheet is being used almost overwhelmingly without any advantage that I can see, especially here in China for pirate copies of music distribution (together with Monkey's audio file), which is the way most Chinese people get music from.
