Any thoughts on pros and cons? Personally, I like editing text files. So being able to put a "REM ARTISTSORT" into the cue and then having a script to fix up the flac from the cue is the way I'd go. For example, a while ago I added ";harp" to the genre of all my albums that I felt featured the harp, so now they respond to that as well as folk or classical or new age or whatever. A powerful text editor really helps, and again for me, makes it easier than a GUI tool would. I can search and edit, and refine my report (cdlist) script all in one place.
