I would never rip to that state - all my ripping does it to individual files. Also, splitting the one single FLAC file doesn't lose any data. The advantage is that I have all the files individually named and tagged, when I look at an album I see it as I would had I just ripped it myself. I've no idea how you would use a single FLAC/CUE file in conjunction with random play if you wanted each track to appear in the initial playlist - can it be done? Not that I'm going to change - it works perfectly how I do it :)
Mind you, there are loads of threads on here relating to functionality of the Touch that I'll never, ever use - people seem to want bells and whistles in every aspect, whereas I just want to play my playlists via my main Hi-Fi - horses for courses! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ StridingEdge's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57498 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97486 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
