OK, I successfully imported the CUE file–metaflac --import-cuesheet-from=<file> and now flactag works. You could implement this I think. You could first test for an embedded CUE.

OK. Thanks. Just because nobody has expressed a desire for this feature doesn't mean they wouldn't appreciate it once they knew about it. They just don't know that yet. ;)

Which library? It doesn't have the ability to work with an external CUE sheet? I see that flactag has an option to create a CUE sheet file. I think your tool would have much more universal appeal if it could operate on CUE sheet files if an imbedded CUE sheet were not found.

Well, first of all, I installed it via homebrew, so I didn't have any way of knowing. Second, I think you are severely limiting your potential user base. It seems fairly obvious to me that most album flacs come with a separate CUE sheet so that would constitute a much larger audience. How hard could it be to add this feature?

A search of the man page reveals one reference to the word embedded in the context of ripping. What about the many cases of an already ripped CD with an external CUE sheet, which is the norm? A simple error message indicating that an embedded CUE is required would have eliminated this whole thread. It's not like this is a common experience.

Well, first of all, what is an embedded cue file? I've ever only seen external ones. Second why such an extreme limitation? And why no mention of this limitation in the help, such as it is?
