Default computer CD jukebox redux

Why? What do you need cue lists for? What's up with just stuffing
each album into a folder with your cover scan and playing the
tracks in sequence?


That's fine for people who don't know about index marks.


Oh.. index marks. Forgot about them. Out of the 4-5,000 CD's I have,
can't say I've ever encountered any. Well.. maybe once.


It's also a kluge
because you have to keep switching between delays between tracks and
no delays between tracks.


Just tack the silence on the end or trim it off with the ripping
software option.


That runs against the following common requirement:

"...how to load a reasonable fraction of 2000 CDs into a computer with
effort that per CD, is no more than casual."

I find this to be wonderfully ironic - Dormer rants and raves about
professional tools and then he blows off one of the more significant
hallmarks of professional CD management software - cue lists.


"Professional" CD management? For a home jukebox?


If you follow the argument, the cost of implementing this feature would be
minimal. The track and index markers are obviously on the CD. It's just a
matter of putting this info into the output file.
