Description Of Issue

Hello;
Could you please prompt me, how to force Roon to properly interpret simple .cue file?
Files .FLAC and .cue are in the same folder.

VLC can, Audirvana can, JRiver can - Roon cannot…

Regards.

To my knowledge, there is no support for cue files in Roon. Supported playlist formats are listed in Importing playlists.

Thank you for information.
But that’s too bad…

[Lonek]

Because I use and need for .CUE files.

The main reason for FLAC+CUE is because many players couldn’t do that. Same goes for DSD ISO vs DSF files. …
