Support for EMBED Cuesheet tag in EAC CDRIPs to FLAC [#19744]

[deboopi]

I have seen Mediamonkey supports basic tag editing for music files.
A tag that isn't used that often is the cuesheet tag.
This is used as a complete album is ripped and stored in only one flac file.
You can then split this file into one file per song but therefor you need a .cue file.
But it is also possible to store this file in the cusheet tag of the the flac file.
Is mediamonkey able to see this tag and also edit it?

Hi,
It is not supported ATM, but do you have some sample files we can look at.

If Yes, please open support ticket and send us DL link?

Hi,
Thank you for sample File, I have done brief analyze of file and I have few good and some bad news.
- Good news is that it is custom CUESHEET Metadata tag imposed by EAC on CD RIP or batch force imported into FLAC file
- Bad news is that it is not standard because FLAC have own and standardized format https://xiph.org/flac/format.html#metad ... k_cuesheet and as such MM do not recognize it.
- MM read EMBED CUESHEET as EXTENDED TAG, but do not use it as it is not standard. NOTE: like MM many other apps do not handle it correctly either

That said, it is possible to MM recognize CUESHEET file embed in FLAC file by exporting it to .CUE. Bad is that you need to do it manually for now using these steps:
1. Open FLAC file properties
2. Go to CUSTOM Tab
3. Double click on Value of CUESHEET tag (usually starts with REM .....)
4. Select all content of the value and COPY
5. Open Blank TXT file and paste it
6. Save TXT file with TRACK FILENAME and .CUE extension

If you have done it correctly MM will not recognize CUESHEET file (<trackname>.CUE) and import them as separate tracks.

I know it is not 100% what you want, but I'll investigate more and hopefully this will be just temporary workaround.

Hello,
I did not know about the custom properties .
But I can only see them in the windows version.
Is it also possible in the Android version because I cannot see a custom over there.
If this is something I can change in the custom properties , that's more than good enough for me but if possible also in the Android version.

regards

No, but once MMW imports CUE File on Sync they can be split to multiple files so that MMA see them as separate files/tracks.

Hi,
I moved this to MM5 as FLAC reading/handling of EAC extended CUESHEET tag should be firstly implemented there
