Mmm, yes the CDDB feature would be great. Is it based on an ID per disk or an ID
per track ? If so, how do you want to integrate it on a track basis ? (CD ID +
track number ?)

BTW, one option in MCF I didn't think of : the same way as you have in FLAC, you
can have the whole CD in one file, and attach the cue file (the content is
inside the same file).
