| Summary | 0019744: FLAC: CUESheet Tag is not added to extended tags | ||||
| Description | FLAC support CUESheet natively, but it is ignored by MM and users are expected to have them in extended tags. Sample file with extreme CUEsheet is added to FTP. If that File CUESHEET data can be read in Extended tags then it is done till full CUESHEET support is added. | ||||

| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

I cannot add CUESheet to extended tags, as this is different kind of metadata with very specific format, extended tags are only for standard textual tags. |
|

OK, Added reference to 0005924 where full CUESheet and multiple bookmarks is described. |

Reopen Looks like EAC added extended tag "cuesheet" to FLAC tags (not folowing FLAC CUESHEET standard. So at least that can be read if not wrote (non standard field) |

Fixed in build 3517. After reworking of support of extended tags I was able to implement a lot better support for embedded CUESHEET too. It now works similar way like with CUE in separate file. It supports editing of CUESHEET tag with some validation. Original cuesheet metadata block in FLAC format is also supported, but this one only read-only. It contains different kind of data and does not contain metadata like track titles, and I think it is too technical and edit is probably not needed (it is not simple text field). It is displayed now as special kind of extended tag format - FLACCueSheet - in extended tags and used for dividing track into defined parts. In case FLAC file contains both - CUESHEET text tag and FLAC special CUESHEET block - text tag has priority, as it contains better metadata and was most probably edited by user, so is more recent. |

Verified 3517 I agree, but have tested it a bit especially where there is external CUE file and found out that FLACCueSheet is mostly used similar to what chapters are in Movie files eg. used to quickly skip to parts of playback like bookmarks rather than track splits, for those there is separate CUE file alongside, which like you pointed can also contain metadata. Improvements for future MM versions where we support Chapters/multi bookmarks/...? |

I would find it fairly inconsistent. FLACCueSheet can contain both (it is this way even in standard: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9639.html#section-8.7 ), separate tracks or separate chapters, and there is no indication, what is included in what file, it is automatically indistinguishable. I think our current approach is a lot more consistent, it is still "CUE Sheet", no matter how saved. So playing chapters as separate tracks is not a bug. In the past we chose handling tracks from CUE sheet as separate tracks. Handling CUE sheet from FLAC block differently would be inconsistent and confusing. Anyway, discussion about changing this approach is not part of this issue, resolving. |
