Re: EAC & FLAC: some questions

I have always ripped to one large FLAC file with a cue sheet. With Foobar this can cause a problem if the FLAC files and CUE sheets are in the same directory. When you play an album from the album list, you get all of the individual tracks, but song number two generally will be a single song that has the entire album as its contents. I think what is happening is that the library picks up both the cue sheet and the flac file as a single album and plays them all.

In order to solve the problem I set a preference in Foobar for the library to only pick up *.cue files.

When ripping to one large flac file, you can still pick out individual songs for playlists and convert them back to wav files as individual songs.

If there are benefits to burning to individual tracks, please let me know what they are.
