Support for cue files #223

Open questor opened 10 years ago

questor commented 10 years ago

are cue files working? I can't upload cue-files with the webclient. but uploading and supporting it in the player may be two different things, dunno if it would work if I upload the cue-files manually.

This is the first time I've heard of cue files. Does a cue file embed the actual audio data?

yoasif commented 10 years ago

Cue files do not embed audio data, although audio files (like FLAC) can have embedded cuesheets.

Here's some basic documentation on cuesheets:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_sheet_(computing)#Audio_file_playback

and some more detail:

Basically, it is a text file that references a file (usually a live recording or cd image) that contains multiple tracks within it. Example cuesheets can be found in the second link posted.

Where are cue sheets normally stored? Side-by-side with the audio files?

sorry, wanted to write a response :/

yes, I think it's safe to say it's side-by-side (otherwise you have to do path-conversions and stuff "\" to "/" and so on)
