Hi Ivailo

The problem with an embedded CUE sheet is that this requires 2 
preconditions.
1 - that the FLAC files are taken from an Audio CD, and
2 - that a drive is used such as a Plextor that can manage to do this 
properly.

Neither condition applies here.
The files I needto turn into FLAC files are 24 bit 48kHz streams that exist 
as WAV files on HDD.
They are not from CD - I keep trying to explain this.
I cannot see in thedocumentation any way to create an embedded CUE sheet 
unless extracting from CD.

Neitherdo I own a Plextor drive, and my Pioneer cannot create proper CUE 
sheets from CD anyway

What to do?
It is beginning to look like it is mission impossible from where I sit.
