It doesn't at all, cue sheets are helpful when you wish to issue instructions to a ripper or editor about the FLAC or WAVE file. For example, suppose you've ripped a CD to a cue and FLAC Pair and you wish to burn an audio CD from the created FLAC file, if you just burnt the FLAC file to the CD then the software would burn it as one continuous track, the cue sheet or file gives the software burning the FLAC file instructions on where to place track marks, index marks and the like. You can also insert Another use of cue sheets, I have editing software which makes full use of the cue sheet associated with a FLAC, Wave or any other lossless format of compressed file, when the cue sheet is loaded the editor splits the accompanying FLAC or wave file into marked clips so therefore I can navigate between these, selecting each clip, saving it out to a separate file, using the editor to convert the FLAC or Wave file to separate tracks encoded into MP3, AAC+ or whatever. other information pertaining to deemphasis etc, that's going over my head a bit <smile>.
