Files with embedded cuesheet

[grimlokason]

Hello,

I don't know if it should be considered as a bug or as a feature request, but when a flac file with embbeded cue sheet is read by MPD, it's added both as file and playlist in database :

OK MPD 0.21.0

As a side effect, the client (like rpompr, malp,...) show both playlist and file. Is it possible to add something to hide files entry when there is a playlist with the same filename ?

Yes, it is possible, but you need to convince me that this should be done. Why on the server? The server tells the client what it has, and the client can decide what to show to the user. Adding user interface stuff to the MPD server must be justified well.

Hi Max, yes you can see it, like you have written.

But it is also possible to interpret it in another way: When somebody add a cuesheet to a flac-file, he wants to seperate the file. Otherwise he (or she...) would not add a cue-sheet. Following to this logic the procedure should look like this:

If there is no cue-sheet --> the server adds the flac-file to the database If there is a cue-sheet --> the server adds the seperated flac-file to the database

Adding both, flac-file and seperated flac-file, does not serve anybody and is somehow illogical.

Could that be an argumentation, with which you can get warm? ;-)
