Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Multiple files per cue sheet
I have found a workaround for this issue. The workaround is off-topic for this thread, since it is currently not possible to use cue files that address multiple source files in LMS. However, it seems to be possible, in some cases, to achieve the same results by creating a separate cue file for each audio file. I have described this in more detail in 'a thread in another forum' (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?108121-multiple-album-for-a-track=949166=1#post949166). Any discussion of the workaround, as opposed to the topic of this thread, should probably go there. The linked post begins with a reference to another workaround, which has already been discussed in this thread: editing metadata in the files from a box set so that LMS sees the original albums, while the box set discs can be accessed through the music folder.

Seriously, though, thanks for replaying. Of course I shouldn't expect you to know everything, just because you know more than anyone else. I think MRW is attempting to find an answer for this, so I'll continue to hope he gets lucky.

Playlists dont do it for me. I did look at the cue sheet parser earlier this week, and felt that it could probably be done without breaking existing usage. But Im not sure. If I do come up with something, Ill submit a proposal. In the meantime, of course, there is the option of duplicating the relevant tracks and making up ones own custom album.

Thanks for mentioning this. This is what I do currently, and it works, but it is not entirely satisfactory. I can go into reasons why this is so, but will not do so unless somebody wants to know. Just trying to avoid unnecessary verbiage.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Multiple files per cue sheet
Can anyone comment on this topic? I suppose it's really a question for Michael: is it possible for LMS to support cue sheets like this: Code: FILE "honkytonk3.wav" WAVE TRACK 01 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "big_wheel.wav" WAVE TRACK 02 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "13 - Turkish Delight.wav" WAVE TRACK 03 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 That's my test file, trying to keep it as simple as possible, so no metadata. If it were possible to use cue sheets like this in LMS, they would contain metadata. The metadata would be the reason for using them. Why would anyone want to do this?: I don't know about anyone else, but I am looking for a solution to an issue that has been discussed in the Ripping...Tagging forum: assigning the same track(s) to multiple albums. The specific case I have encountered is with box sets that contain multiple complete albums. For instance, the Miles Davis box set of "Complete Columbia Studio Recordings, 1965-1968" contains the complete albums, E.S.P, Miles Smiles, Sorcerer, Nefertiti, Miles In The Sky, and Filles De Kilimanjaro, along with numerous alternates and outtakes. I would like to be able to access both the box set and the original albums in LMS. Even better than multifile cue sheets would be support for cdrdao TOC files, but I know that's too much to ask for, so I will not.
