hi to all :-) i have a little suggestion. would be possible in the near future to implement your great software with other lossless formats like wavpack
thx in advance for replies.

rtfm.
a few highlights.
paplayer supports:
* alac aka apple lossless (needs aaccodec.dll from cvs) based on alac
* ape aka monkey's audio (needs macdll.dll from cvs) based on mac
* flac aka free lossless audio codec (needs libflac.dll from cvs) based on libflac
* wavpack (needs wavpack.dll from cvs) based on wavpack
* shn aka 'shorten' (needs libshnplay.dll from cvs) thanks to holger stenger for the dll!

oh great!!! :kickass: and what about lossless with embedded cue sheets?
that's another case. i believe embedded cue's aren't supported.

i have to test it, i backup my cds in wavpack with embedded cue, burning on dvd-r i use foobar2000 to play it on windows, would be great to use that player in the same way as foobar, thx for your attention.

embedded cue's are not being read.
what is needed is the tag classes improved to support reading the .cue sheet tag.
obviously this would only work if tag reading was on.
there's two ways to handle it:
1. only do the .cue tag reading at playback time, so when you "play", it actually adds all the individual tracks to the playlist, and starts from the beginning.
2. expand the file items immediately to show each track in place of the original track. this requires tag reading to be on though (if it's off, it'll have to go back to 1)
not sure which is best. number 2 allows the individual track information to be injected into the database, while number 1 would be easier to implement.
the first step in the process is getting the cue sheet information out of the tags. i suggest you document how cue sheets are stored in various formats to begin with.
cheers,
jonathan

if the "any news?" is directed at me:
i just gave you information on how to do it. i'm not going to do it.
i suggested a suitable method and hoped that you (or someone) would take time to write a patch, or at least document the tag formats.
