I’m using Volumio now for about 5 months and I think this is a really great thing!
Well, there are two things that are bothering me.
It is Volumios behavior in handling flac/cue files. 95% of the AudioCD rips I made are one single flac file with one cue file for the Track information.
Volumio lists always the cue file + all the songs from the Album in each folder.
I think listing the cue file is unnessesary. i really would to like have the option to ignore the cue files.
But, the most annoying thing is that if I play a song it won’t stop at the end of the title. Volumio keeps playing the wohle album until the end.
How does this come? Is it so unusual to have the whole CD in one single file.
The problem is with MPD, the music player underneath Volumio, MPD simply sees the single FLAC file and disregards the cue sheet.
If/when this is resolved in MPD, then the problem will be solved in Volumio.
It looks like MPD is able to handle cue sheets: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Music_Player_Daemon/Tips_and_tricks#Cue_Files
However, if I understand the documentation correctly you can load a single FLAC with CUE into mpd and play as a playlist. I am not sure how that would work from the MPD indexing and single track playing perspective. That would be something to explore in MPD.
Obviously this does not seem to be an issue of great importance to anyone at all…
I startet my first Volumio hardware build about two years ago and this hasn’t be fixed until today.
Neither MPD nor Volumio coders ever seemed to be interested in getting this done.
Well, it seems we have to live with it or try alternatives to Volumio.
I would appreciate it to be fixed but on the other hand i’d rather change the platform than reencode my whole CD library to single songs.
My whole collection is composed of single file flac music with cue sheets too.
This works fine in Music Library tab, but nothing has shown in Artist, Genre, Album Tab.
How could i make MPD to read cue sheets tags ?
Sorry for continue this old thread. But only for information:
Same problem here. The cue sheet problem is not solved in Volumio until now.
I switched to RuneAudio ( rAudio 1) . Cue sheets are handled correctly here.
