I would like to mention that the user is requesting support for embedded cue sheets. This is metadata embedded in the flac file itself, similar to having chapters in an mp4 file.

https://xiph.org/flac/format.html#metadata_block_cuesheet. Some players support it, like foobar2000.

I was trying to locate an example but i haven't found any. I guess one has to obtain the metadata (there is a specific method to get the cue sheet) and then, on decoding, use the table index. This would require that the database knows about subsong indexes, and that the decoder knows it too.

Since the artist/title metadata is also a bit cumbersome to get (the flac specification does not say how that has to be stored, so we need to resort to existing implementations, like the one I've mentioned in foobar200), it's reasonable that this stays with low priority.
