Title:
wish: add individual tracks from .cue files into the collection
Status in The Amarok Music Player:
Unknown
Status in “amarok” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: amarok
Hello. This is a wish for Amarok.
Any listener of classical operas (e.g. La Traviata, Die Walkuere) will have
this problem and is stuck with MS Windows for this reason.
PROBLEM
-----------
Currently Amarok (and any other linux program I know) does not allow
to listen to classical operas in a reasonable way. Two cases are
possible:
1. if I rip my CDs one file per track, I hear a brief silence
as the track changes and Amarok is loading the next track.
This breaks the continuity of the music.
( this is not related to the notorious mp3 bug.
The silence happens on any format, like flac, ape, wv,
mpc, ogg, wav, and is due to Amarok loading the file)
2. if I rip my cd with a single file per CD, I hear no gap but
there is no easy way to move among tracks.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
------------------------
One possible solution is to do what foobar2000 does on windows:
understand cue files. When I click a cue file, Amarok should read the
track names and times from it, and then load the corresponding audio
file in the same folder. The corresponding file is a big single file
(~650 MB) with an extension that can be ape, ogg, mp3, wv, flac, mpc,
or wav. Amarok would then allow me to move quickly within the big
file, by simply clicking a track name on the playlist. This would be
the ideal solution because virtually all classical music lovers have
their music in APE + CUE format. More seldom they have FLAC + CUE or
MPC + CUE (just ask around).
Another possible solution is to make Amarok read ahead the next track,
so as not to produce silence between tracks. This is what winamp does
on windows. That is not ideal, because classical music lovers should
reconvert their music to be one file per track.
