My reason for keeping the cue files is to exactly recreate the CDs should I ever need to. The cue sheet is a simple text file that keeps the gap information. Just look at the EAC menus, you'll quickly find the one for generating the cue file. I always rip CDs so each track is ripped as an individual file (even for mix CDs). However, you can rip a whole CD as a single file and use the cue file as a playlist for the ripped album. I wouldn't recommend this as I believe SlimServer is still not too great at dealing with cue files. I keep each cue file in the same directory as the music files and get SlimServer to ignore the file type (Server Settings/File Types/DISABLED PLAYLIST FILE EXTENSIONS). If you don't disable the cue file type you'll probably get lots of oddities as an unmodified cue file will reference the wav files EAC generates and not the Flac files the compression app then generates.
It is very important you set EAV up corectly. Make sure you spend some time doing this before starting to rip. For instance you can only perfectly regenerate CDs if you have the offset for your CDRom drive set correctly in EAC. MC -- ModelCitizen Now what? Transporter > Naim NAP 250 > PMC OB1s.
