Flac or ape + cue files

so, as you may know, often music files are stored as ape + cue file or flac + cue file meaning there are just two files for theventire album, where one is the album (flac or ape) and the other is the bookmarks (or the time if you want, the cue file anyway). in linux (i am a fedora user) we have an app that just read the cue file and let you split the disc into multiple tracks, and anyway lot of players can correctly read that cue file and display that as an album…

I never had a cue or flac file by audio. Cue files are used for multiinages (audio and files) often.

well seems they are quite used nowadays for records over the net…

We used to have VLC which, I think, supports ape/flac + cue (at least in the newer versions). Today there’s no modern VLC port in Haiku, I don’t know any native BeOS application that supported it. Maybe SoundPlay, but I’m not sure, most likely not.

Flacon can split the files, it is in the depot for x86_64, but you can try to build the recipe on x86 too, just report back if it works and we can enable it for x86 too, and it will be available trough the depot.
