Mastroska as a general audio-container - useable? Options

[Guest_schlauf_*]

Hi there,

I've been thinking about using Matroska as a general audio-container solution in oder to display stuff like lyrics, in-depth information and more about my music.

AFAIK there are no software muxing applications that allow for a comfortable editing and final mastering of a .mka-file, right? The only file I was able to grab was AVIMux-GUI, and it did not a good job in muxing SRT-files (as a lyrics solution) and, say, an MP3-file.

So, what is recommended to use in order to include different audio files (MPC, Vorbis, MP3, FLAC) in an .mka-container, preferably with lyrics, common tags and, eventually, more information such as covers ... ?

Thanks

Am I right in assuming I can take a whole mp3 album, remux it into 1 matroska file, with art etc, the result of which I can play this 1 file album in foobar?

Yep, you can do that. But I think that you have to join the mp3's into one big mp3 first and then mux it to matroska along with a cue/chapters file and everything else you want in it. They play just fine with foobar.

Thank you.

And which is the best tool for joining the mp3s and creating a .cue file?
