Embedded cuesheets

oh... right.

I think it's better to read the cuesheet tag solely because that's what foobar does. But in the name of compliance, it's probably better to read the cuesheet block.
Just thinking about it again, I think that reading the cuesheet tag is easier because it uses the min:sec:frames that all cuesheets use and thus can use the same cuesheet parser that the cuesheet file reader uses.
But I just looked at another cuesheet from the "--export-cuesheet-to=" option, and it says this:

Curiously, this one is in min:sec:frames, while the other one was in samples. I don't know why. Perhaps because the other one was 48khz sampling, and this one is 44.1khz (cd source). Wow, cuesheets are kind of crazy...
--- Quote ---Also, do you know of any applications apart from foobar with support for FLACs with embedded cues?

Nope... Not any players, but burrrn (http://www.burrrn.net) supports it.

Well, Cuesheets were initially created only for CD burning layout. I never seen them Cuesheet tags in a FLAC file but I know the standard is that metadata block that specifies samples & no artist/title/composer.

I am just getting into flac (Lossless) mainly do to the falling ratio of $/GB on HDs
I don't know to much about Cue sheet block and such, I've delayed archiving my library as I research pros and cons and tools.
I found the most knowlegeable place for any flac info (tech specs), to be hydrogenaudio's fourms.
Many developers of flac ecoders and decoders and tagging tools like metamp3 frequent this site and are very helpful with wide range of questions.
Most likely many of you devs know of this site but just chiming in.
Thanks to all of you who make rockbox
