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.


You might want to look into FLAC (lossless) format. FLAC
supports embedded cue sheets and other metadata like album
cover graphics. You can "rip" a CD to a single FLAC file and
use the cue sheet for playback.

FLAC is also an "open source" software ! :-)
