Here's the thing: LMS has -never- been able to play DRM'd files so it

My guess is that LMS was not designed with the "multiple-file cue" use
case in mind. (I'd never heard of it until you brought it up.) You'll
need to convert these to standard "one image + one cue" format.
foobar2000 can help with this: 1. load the original cue sheet; 2. set
converter for FLAC
If you install "Server Power Control" plugin it allows custom CLI
commands to do this. You can also do it with a batch file. More to
