I'm trying to figure out how to get Foobar to parse the track names in flac cd images from the cuesheet I have added as a tag to the flac file. Is it possible to do this right now, or does a plugin for foobar not exist right now? I'm thinking no. Yes, I understand why the cuesheet metadata doesn't have track names. I suppose an alternative could be to make a playlist of the tracks, but I can't even figure out how to do that.

Hi Cartman_Sr,

I'm a little out of touch with your current setup. Am I right in thinking that you have gone hardcore and are only using FLAC's native CUESHEET metadata block?

I guess you must have, because foobar will read all metadata from the CUESHEET vorbis comment.

I think you only option is to set the TITLE tag for each track manually in foobar, or maybe using foo_freedb2. If the behaviour is still the same as it was a couple of weeks back foobar will write some tags to the FLAC file to store the new data. That's one tag per value.

Personally, I don't like this option - I want all the metadata in the cuesheet.

If I were you I would use the vorbis comment in addition to your metadata block. You then get the best of both worlds, with a filesize increase of... oohh... 2KB?

Please note: I am not certain about retagging with the latest RC. If you are interested I would suggest copying a FLAC image with a CUESHEET metadata block, dragging it into foobar, setting the TITLE of a track or two, and then reading the file with METAFLAC to see the result. Maybe post your findings (CODEBOX) if they are of interest.

Edit: OK, I tested myself:

Before editing the TITLE of track 2 to "Adapted Title Value"

After editing the TITLE of track 2 to "Adapted Title Value"

This suggests to me that the operation is of no value to you. You would be better off embedding the cuesheet using both methods yourself (note foobar has done it anyway (comment[4])). If you need to adapt a track title I would edit the CUESHEET vorbis comment ("Utils" > "Edit cuesheet") rather than using "Properties".
