Introduction								     
============

XMMS mp3cue adds cue file support to XMMS. Cue files store information
(Artist, Title, Time) describing smaller tracks within a large audio
file. mp3cue allows you to easily manipulate these cue files; and more
importantly, it presents you with a separate playlist composed from
the cue information which you can use to easily navigate to any of the
smaller tracks in the audio file, just like a normal playlist. You can
also save this cue information within an ID3v2 tag (if the audio file
is an mp3), eliminating the need for an external cue file.

XMMS mp3cue is a plugin for XMMS (X Multimedia System),
which runs on Linux. The original mp3cue plugin was conceived by John
Dee, written for Winamp 2. I have written XMMS
mp3cue from scratch; it is NOT a port. However, I did get
the idea from John and, to the best of my knowledge, the two
plugins are totally compatible. You can switch between the two players
without any hassles.

Having said that, XMMS mp3cue is an ongoing project, there are still
many things left to do ... and I need your feedback.


Use
===

Load up the desired MP3 in XMMS. Right click in the mp3cue
playlist window, and choose Add Track. (You can also right click
in the area next to the Prev and Next buttons.)
Type in the details. The time fields are programmed for minutes,
seconds and frames respectively. (There are 75 frames per second). 

Continue adding songs until all the songs in the album
are added (or you're fedup ... whichever comes first).

Continue adding songs until all the songs in the
album are added (or you are fed up... whichever comes first).

Then just double click the song in the mp3cue playlist to have XMMS
seek to that position. hooray !

The Period (.) and Comma (,) keys can be used to go to the next and
previous song respectively.

You can also set some attributes for the entire album itself by right
clicking and choosing Properties.

Now, you can export this playlist to a cue file. Simply right click
and choose Export Cue Sheet. The file will be appropriately named and
stored (see details section below) so that mp3cue will automatically
find and load it up the next time.

Import Cue Sheet allows you to specify an alternate cue file to load
as the mp3cue playlist.

You can now save this cue info within an MP3 audio file, eliminating
the need for the extra cue file. Choose Save to MP3

Remove Frame removes only the ID3v2 frame saved in the MP3 by the
above command.

If you want to Remove or Edit a song, just right click the
appropriate song and choose the appropriate option.

The current track playing is highlighted in Red.
