xmms-cueinfo is a plugin for XMMS that adds support for reading cue files. Cue files describe what tracks a single audio file contains, including performer and title information.

This makes it possible to rip a full CD into a single audio file. (The reason people do this is because of the audible gaps that occur when the software switches between two files.

However, these gaps are generally shorter in unix-based operating systems than in Windows due to the simpler file I/O subsystem. There are also no-gap plugins for many players now, so there aren't really any good reasons for ripping CDs like this nowadays.) xmms-cueinfo also makes it easy to seek to each track mentioned in the cue file.

Requirements:
XMMS

What's New in This Release:
xmms-cueinfo would crash XMMS if all songs were removed from the playlist with the Cue Info dialog open. This is fixed now. (Bug reported by Brian Fernandes.)
Added section about similiar projects to README.
Fixed date i NEWS file (was 2002 :).
