CUE Sheet support
Description I've ripped many of my CDs into a single continuous MP3 and stored CUE sheets along with the MP3. I'd love it if when I select an album to play that the player recognizes the CUE sheet and displays the song title from there.
Does koel support this use case? If not, is it possible to write a plugin for this to happen?
Example reference on cue sheets: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_sheet_(computing)
The way Koel identifies a song (its unique ID generated from its path) is totally different from that of a cue sheet, so I don't think this will ever be supported. Are you saying your Koel installation can't display song titles from an album?
cue sheet support is very important, and pretty much is a deal-breaker for people like me who has over 50% of albums stored in cue+audio format. MPD at least has some cue support for example.
Same, I also have a lot of albums with .flac+.cue sheets. The way mpd handles it is quite good, as it recognises the .cue sheet by providing a virtual directory of the files listed in the .cue sheet and lets you play tracks as the main file at the different timestamps.
i think that's the old way of doing this in MPD and it got removed (?) or disabled. In version of MPD I use cue works like a playlist - you have to enqueue/play the .cue file and it will add tracks into queue with correct titles and appear like separate files.
It's not perfect since those can't be used in a playlist and those tracks aren't indexed (and can't be searched for), but hey at least there's some support for it.
Hey @phanan, and thank you for your work! It says right above:

Does it mean this has been implemented, or did you simply close the issue as a wontfix?
