Ditto, thats how it works for REAL cd's, there kind of in one 'file' so
to speak. Can you put single CD tracks in winamp playlists, I dont know,
probably...

I can see the other side of the arguement too tho, there may be many
players around now, and in the future that will add flac support, but
not flac-album support :(
