I was thinking today for myself and was wondering how you guys do when listening to your lossless files? When you download lossless music you get one big flac file, a cue-sheet and sometimes also a m3u-file. Do you extract the tracks to get them separately or do you play from the cue-sheet? I have tried Medieval Cue Splitter but some say that it can break the files. Just want to know if there is something I have missed.

One other thing!

I would like to use a music player that can show album art, tracks and genre. But now I have problem with many of my albums. Sometimes they are showing up correct but most of the time they are missing cover or the artist/group are wrong.

I have tried Media Monkey, J River, Helium, MusicBee and of cource WinAmp. But non is working as I want.

For tagging I have used Tag&Rename, Mp3Tag and MusicBrainz Pichard. They are good but sometimes they can't find anything at all. Kinda frustrating.

if you downloaded image rip, one big flac file with all the song, you can play it by opening the cue file or you can use cue tools to split into separate songs.
but usually the songs are in separate files, image rips are not allowed on music trackers. rutracker have that kind of rips.


as for music player only foobar and aimp.

foobar has all you need

Thanks @chucknorris for you reply. I prefer separate tracks in albums not a big file.
