[Voyage-linux] question on cue support in MPD

[Jeff Mai]

Hi Joseph,

I ran into this problem in 2008 or 2009.  Soon after cue sheet support 
was added for a while, but then it was broken in an update of mpd around 
2011.  I asked around on some of the forums, but I don't think the 
developers agreed with the way it was implemented and didn't intend to 
fix it.

I needed some of the new updates to mpd to support new playback hardware.

In the end I used the Windows program CueTools to split all of my flac 
files into separate tracks.  It names and tags them according to the cue 
sheet too.  It handled everything as a batch once it was set up so it 
was less work than I thought, but it took an entire weekend.

Probably not what you want to hear - I didn't in 2011, but after I split 
my files I haven't looked back.  mpd handles gapless playback perfectly 
with the split files in my set up and that was my main concern.

Cheers
Jeff
