[FEATURE REQUEST] Automatic .CUE handling
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
- Automatically attach chapters from .CUE file named the same (sans extension of course) as the audio file playing. The same as subtitle files automatically read during video file playback.
Alternative behavior of the wanted feature
- When .CUE file playback requested explicitly, then treat it as a playlist instead.

When .CUE file playback requested explicitly, then treat it as a playlist instead.
If you play a cue file directly mpv treats it as single long audio, but with chapters corresponding to the audio tracks. Isn't that good enough?
Isn't that good enough?
It's bearable.
My 2nd point is – as a user I have lots of musical albums that are single audio file that have .CUE supplied. So I see it as a playlist. But when I use mpv it treats them as chapters file, so I have an extra pain switching between songs and can't right away jump to a song that's within a big single audio track, if my playlist consist of several albums, where some are big audio files and some have tracks separated in files.
But starting with automatic loading of .CUE's (1st point) is a good start.
On a second thought it could be a separate setting treat-cue-as-playlist = boolean
