This is an increasingly less popular format: whole CDs ripped to a single flac with all the metadata (track list cuesheet, album art, liner notes & etc.) embedded in the flac file as vorbis comments. So the advantage is: 1 CD == 1 file.
In the early slimdevices / squeeze center days, there were influential users who were strong advocates for the format and LMS's audio scan has supported the format from early on. Support for the format probably peaked when Andy Grundman added code to remove the need for an external flac process to transcode embedded cuesheet flacs on playback and added code to fully support gapless playback with embedded cuesheets. Popularity of the format is probably waning since it's supported by only a few other packages & applications, notably FB2K, EZ-CDAC, deadbeef, etc. Support on Apple platforms is especially thin. I'm married to the format, as I've been ripping my library that way for 16 years now and I've become set in my ways in my dotage. 35827 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: PXL_20210927_162924799.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35827| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115184 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
