Thanks very much for the scripts, they should prove extremely helpful. Just to let you know a couple of things that I managed to discover in my experimentation (you may well know this already).
Firstly, good news. Artist and album sort seem to work perfectly if you embed them in the vorbis tags. Secondly, the reason that you need to have either a cuesheet externally or embedded in the vorbis comments is that flac strips out almost all the data from the cuesheet apart from the seek points. Try using metaflac to pull out one of the cuesheets you have embedded in your flac encoding and take a look at it. The clever guys who are resposible for slimserver seem to parse the original cuesheet whether external or embedded as a vorbis comment. I haven't yet worked out if the tags from the cuesheet or vorbis block take precedence but it wouldn't be hard to find out. Just a quick question (as this is the direction I was thinking of heading) now that you are going to put album and artist sort into the tags, have you thought about stripping the rest of the metadata out of the cuesheet and putting it into the tags? It would be pretty easy to write a script to do it, would be more conventional/interpretable and you would be able to edit your metadata with a wide range of tagging software. Any thoughts on pros and cons?
