I've even read that before.... but forgot :( Anyway,.. perhaps some thoughts about that: I've read the CUE specification at http://wyday.com/cuesharp/specification.html . I'm not sure,.. are the CATALOG and ISRC part of CD-Text or not? (At least ISRC appears in both, the general section of the specification and the CD-Text section). So if it was decided to not include CD-Text data perhaps these two things should be removed, too. (Or the other CD-Text keywords added,... of course this would be difficult due to different languages and graphical content in cd-text). On the other hand it's perhaps unclean to add features to FLAC that exist only for one specialised usage (CD-DA archival)... this would apply to all CUE/CD-Text data.>>> I think the current convention by users is to >>> store lyrics in the LYRICS tag. cover art is not part of the tags, >>> it will go in the PICTURE metadata block in upcoming FLAC 1.1.3: >>> >>> > http://flac.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/flac/flac/doc/html/changelog.html >Great :-) Is there any release schedule? More than a week/month? ;-) I've reat a bit around and I've seen that you already support stuff like UPC/ISRC number,.. CATALOG number and Preemphasis, right? What about the other flags that can appear in the CUE (DCP, 4CH, SCMS)? (btw: do you have any link for me where these are explained?) Thanks in advance and best wishes, Chris.
