Thus,... if I currently have my index-based wav files (that is EAC makes
track-number.index-number.wav) from an cdda,.. and the corresponding CUE
file (EAC writes it in min:sec:frame),... than I could use sox to
concatenate the single files to one big file,..
encode it to flac with the CUE infos,..
And afterwards I'd be able to restore/decode it to the single files, right?!

btw: This is not the right place to ask,.. but is it planned to add a
standard to ogg (and thus flac) like ogg comments,.. but for additional
stuff like lyrics,.. or CD-cover art and so on?


Thanks for your help so far :-)

Best wishes,
Chris.
