I'm running the latest 6.3.1 on Linux.  Still broken.

I haven't had this working since I retired my old server 18 months ago.
That was running on an ancient version that honoured operating system
specification of hidden files (dot prefix) and the database would not
index cue-sheeted mp3 files that were named with a dot prefix.

Is there any chance we can go back to simple funcitonality like that? 
It worked.  It was simple.  It was logical.  What business might
SlimServer possibly have indexing hidden files?

For me, this is all to do with gapless playback.  The only reason i
have any cue sheets is to get gapless.  I now have a legacy of very
high quality mp3 rips (Lame preset extreme/EAC) with cuesheets.  The
answer is the difference between retranscoding and a feature that
should either work or at least show stable behaviour from version to
version.  It strikes me that the development hasn't pinned down exactly
what certain functions are for.

FWIW, 6.3.1 does play my cuesheet files; it does honour symlinks in my
mp3 library.  This is a good build.  I'm just petrified that the next
build will break these things.
