Whats the problem with FLAC tags? I dont see how they are any more complicated or harder to use than any other format. You may be able to do more with them, than say MP3's IDv3 tags, but they work in much the same way and the basics (Track name, artist etc) is just the same really. A FLAC is a much better format to use with the Squeezebox/Slimserver, and it supports gapless playback perfectly.
As for Cue sheets, it should be posible with Apple Lossless, but CUE sheet support is currently broken with the lastest Slimsever, so dont even bother. The best way to achieve gapless playback is to rip with a format thats desgined for gapless playback with single files, i.e Ogg or FLAC. The problems with cue sheets in Slimserver are a major issue for me and i have started a new bug report about it. Internal cue sheets dont seem to work at all either. A real pain because i saw the 'CUE Sheet support' in the product spec then ripped many CD's this way, only to find out it does not work when i got my SB3 :( Another thing i hope they do is make Cue sheets scannable. Even if you use MP3 or FLAC etc, you still can fastforward tracks when using CUE sheets with slimserver. -- dangerous_dom ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dangerous_dom's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18780 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
