*Dohh* Sorry,.. I've even read that before.... but forgot :(

Anyway,.. perhaps some thoughts about that:
I've read the CUE specification at
http://wyday.com/cuesharp/specification.html .
I'm not sure,.. are the CATALOG and ISRC part of CD-Text or not? (At
least ISRC appears in both, the general section of the specification and
the CD-Text section).
So if it was decided to not include CD-Text data perhaps these two
things should be removed, too. (Or the other CD-Text keywords added,...
of course this would be difficult due to different languages and
graphical content in cd-text).

On the other hand it's perhaps unclean to add features to FLAC that
exist only for one specialised usage (CD-DA archival)... this would
apply to all CUE/CD-Text data.

Great :-) Is there any release schedule? More than a week/month? ;-)

I've reat a bit around and I've seen that you already support stuff like
UPC/ISRC number,.. CATALOG number and Preemphasis, right?
What about the other flags that can appear in the CUE (DCP, 4CH, SCMS)?
(btw: do you have any link for me where these are explained?)


Thanks in advance and best wishes,
Chris.
