There are two ways to embed cuesheet into a FLAC file: a) via CUESHEET block (limited, almost useless) b) via CUESHEET tag (proper cuesheet support) I don't know what program (except metaflac) uses the 1st way to embed cuesheet into a FLAC file. foobar2000 uses the 2nd way. It's not pick one or the other; it's use both. You could get away with only A but that has most of the useful details removed, so B is also needed. FLAC decoding I don't see working without A. It decodes fine without B but you don't have things like track names (or any text) from the .cue.C:\flac\flac2112.exe ...
