FLAC file contains tracks information - see attached metflac.txt.

 

But server generates two tracks records - one for CUE file, other for FLAC - see attached picture 01.

But looks album and artist info is extracted - see picture 02.

We'll resolve the .cue issue for the next release, thanks !

Just removed CUE file and issued Refresh for album.

 

Track info still persists in FLAC file (see originally attached metaflac.txt, generated by metaflac),

* but no tracks appears in GUI - see picture.

 

[Luke 42085]

Yea we haven't added support for that yet, sorry. It's something we can consider for a future update, thanks.

[Masterz 2]

Thanx. Will wait for multi-track FLAC file support, if I can name dat feature so.

Look like it is become popular to put whole disc in one FLAC file.

 

With best wishes, Igors M.

I don't see why, it just makes things more difficult. Now, instead of having it just work out of the box, you have to go to the developers of all your favorite music software and get them to support it before it will work again.

iam also here for the multi-track flac file support i have some albums in my collection where emby cannot detect the artist because it is only in the cue sheet.

 

i guess the reason for doing multi-track flac files is that you can convert them back to wav and burn them on CD. The result will then be exactly like the original medium with the same gap between songs.

Over 2 year on.. Are we still waiting for cue file support?

Hi @@Beaker1966, yes. User demand for this has been lighter than other feature requests so this has not been an area we've looked at yet.

JUST SPENT 3 DAYS SORTING 120 ALBUMS OUT TO FIND THE TAGS ARE NOT SUPPORTED ON FLAC

 

NOW DO I SAVE SPACE AND CONVERT TO MP3 OR WAIT FOR YOU TO ADD SUPPORT FOR FLAC

Hi, what tags are you having an issue with?
