Appreciate you filling me in on your thinking. I understand the
neatness thing, although I personally don't really care whether I have
one file per album or one directory per album (the only things which
ever look at these files are scripts & apps, and they don't care
either!). As for audio fidelity and tagging, I don't see the
difference. There's no difference in the audio stored in one flac vs
many flacs, and keeping tags in sync between different tracks on the
same album has never seemed that difficult to me. 

Anyway, glad it's working for you (I have seen many bug reports around
cue files in the past!) and glad you're happy. IMHO flexibility and
support for these kind of edge cases is what makes the open-ness of
slimserver so important. I don't see AppleTV supporting single file
flacs any time soon :)
