Rockbox Ports are now being developed for various digital audio players!
Okay, so that's not an advantage of CUE over properly split files.
That's a "It makes it convenient for some users who don't have properly split files."
Remember that CUE sheet support will increase binary size.
Which means it will slightly decrease battery life for EVERYONE including people who don't use it.
I'm looking for _technical_ advantages here. Not "That way I don't have to split my files" style ones.
What is wrong with keeping the properly split file?
How is that a workaround, with one track / file? I do believe CUE sheets can still use that, for your programs that like to use them, and meanwhile your files are actually usable elsewhere as opposed to just some few softwares.
So, let me rephrase my request: What makes this feature worth worsening the battery life of everyone who doesn't use it? What _technical_ advantage does it offer that no other existing setup within Rockbox has?
http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/278It's also been brought up in the forums before. Maaaaan is that an old feature request.
Basically, treating a CUE as a playlist, and the tracks within it aren't really individual songs (as in, can't be inserted into other playlists or shuffled) only played sequentially and skipped forward and back... that wouldn't require the same sort of changes to the playback code or anything probably.

I really would have no need to put a CUE sheet file into shuffle or another playlist. The simple functionality of allowing a file to be read via a CUE sheet and playing it is all I'd need. And to be honest, I reckon most people that would want to use CUE sheets would be perfectly happy with that.
They aren't split to begin with, so why should I have to split them?
Keep in mind, skipping most likely would not work on VBR/ABR MP3 files, so you'd be limited to CBR file only in such a system.
