JLab8@mtsw I got banned from Oink because I insisted on albums shared as single .flacs with cuesheets to properly handle things like track indexes, gaps, and truly replicate the *album as intended.*
@JLab8 possibly unpopular opinion but: they were right to ban you
@JLab8 i liked having this for "and the glass handed kites" and zero other albums ever
@mtsw I had a lot of albums from the 80s where they mastered the disc using all or most of those Redbook features. π€·ββοΈ
@mtsw correct to ban me or not, it's trivial to split one flac + cue into multiple with just the track listings, and it was basically impossible to reconstitute an album from multiple files into its original whole (mainly because a lot of people would make rips that omitted any index 0 audio. Usually it was track transitions, but Tom Petty used it to alert the listener that they've reached the side 1-2 gap, and to take a moment to wait in fairness:
