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?
