Yes... I'm always having a special look for track 01 index 00 in EAC....
but if you use index-based extraction you'll get one file for each range.

There is one thing I forgot to ask last time.... when using that cue
feature from flag,.. is it possible to store different tags (title,
composer, etc) for each range? And if so how do I specify this on the
command line?

I assume that this could be added later via metaflac to already encoded
files?
btw: are there any other changes (e.g. in encoding strenght or so) that
makes it worth waiting for 1.1.3?

Thanks and best wishes,
