Nice idea to have the cue data stored within the flac file. However,
software that can write a CD from a cue+wav combination; CDRWIN & EAC;
will require both the .CUE and .WAV file to exist. Thus it's probably
better to just keep it in the two files. It's also esaier to modify track
titles etc., with the text .cue file.
