Only if you're really paranoid about having a precise archival backup of your cd, in a single file. But, if you're doing that anyway for archival reasons, you may as well let slimserver use it as well. If you're not worried about things like index marks or pregaps, then it's probably easier to just rip to separate files, as more things know how to use that. > If so, how are the songs managed individually?

If you decide to go that route and want more details on external cuesheets vs. embedded cuesheets, or tagging styles for multi song flacs, just ask. > I also noticed with the flac files I've played on my SB1 that the > audio level seems low. Is --replay-gain something that could help? Maybe. replay gain will be most useful for making all your files seem to have about the same volume relative to each other. This is particularly handy if you ever use the "shuffle" feature. Because the recent trend in producing pop cds is "louder is better", activating replay gain on a recent purchase will more likely reduce the audio level. For older cds or audiophile labels, it may be a different story. -michael -- The sound of one hand clapping? I'm sure I have an mp3 of that around here somewhere...
