flacenc: need option to disable cuesheet blocks
Last modified: 2018-01-23 18:02:28 UTC
When I rip a CD, I would like to be able to get flac files without the CUESHEET block. My Pioneer car stereo is able to play flac files generated by Rhythmbox as the result of a CD rip, provided the flac files have no CUESHEET section. I can play flac files produced by older version of Ubuntu and gstreamer, where CUSSHEET blocks were not present, but I can not play the new flac files having a CUESHEET block. I have verified that it is the CUESHEET block that prevents playing: if I remove this block with metaflac command, I can play the "purged" file. I guess other devices have the same kind of limitation, not just Pioneer devices ?
I think you can do this already with flacenc seekpoints=0 (but don't ask me how to teach rhythmbox to do that without changing the source code).
