Hi Dror,
Noticed a big delay - about 5 to 10 secs from play / next song button press until the track starts.
The player has to read the whole file to do skipping, so i would say it is normal.
The best solution is to not use album flacs (cue files) at all.
copied from somewhere in the net.
- most players cannot handle cues.
- no hardware support.
- track info is lost, when you lose the cue file.
- this could be solved with internal cuesheets (in tags) which is even worse supported than external ones.
- non-standardized format (lots of cue formats out there)
- slow (seeking big files takes much more time)
- want to share a song quickly? well, you can't - only full albums.
all this just to tell yourself "I have a perfect copy and can always reproduce my original disc" (which isn't even true).
in short: I would just split them. mpd's support for cue files is crap and will be crap in future since the dev does not use cues at all.
Support in other players isn't much better.
