Hello,
I have used --import-cuesheet-from= to insert the cue points,
which are OK according to "--export-cuesheet-to=-".
The points I invoke are:
- the possibility to specify them as frame count instead of time
- the doc: i would not find in which format cue/seekpoints are stored
in the headers
- titles: apparently they get lost with this option. I guess they
would be preserved if put into tags, but it seems odd to me
to put a raw cuesheet into a tag

Objet: Re: [Flac] cuepoints: accuracy, titles and players
dear,
what command did you use to add the cue sheet to the flac file:
--set-tag-from-file="CUESHEET=image.cue"
OR
--import-cuesheet-from=image.cue
? Both are in the docs, but I don't know which is the standard way to do it.
I don't know a player that supports flac embedded cuepoints.
thx in advance
