CUE Sheets

Using its clunky inbuilt control point capability there are no annoying track delays, but no-one with half a brain would want to use their facility. TEAC has discontinued the product and has always been zero helpful in response to requests for improvement - surely a simple firmware upgrade. The kit is not sufficiently modular that I can bypass the inbuilt control point simply by modifying the hardware.

SO I AM ADDING MY VOICE TO REQUEST CUE SHEETS.

Then I can use the TEAC, which has beautiful audio output, and see the tracks. Meantime I continue to use a Yamaha R-N602, which is OK but is monstrous and has a rather brittle sound.

I have searched for other media servers, and Simon is correct that there is very little support for cue sheets. In any case other media servers just don't get anywhere near MinimServer for quality and simplicity.

Well, there is another solution: use a program like XLD which takes your original file, and in the matter of a few seconds, with the help of the cue sheet, transform it into a bunch of different files, one per track.

This should be faster than waiting for Simon to add the cue sheet; if you look at his reply a few years ago, the reason he gave for not doing this is still valid.

This IMHO, of course....
