So if that's the case, we should be making .cue files to go with the VGM
albums we archive? The way I see it, if WAV and FLAC are both lossless, then
shouldn't you be able to just back up the audio as FLAC instead of WAV and
not lose any information? Hmm... Maybe I'm not sure how they work, but
wouldn't m3u's and other playlists also have that same kind of support for
track gaps like on a CD? (so you'd have an m3u with the same track gap
information, but also a .cue so you could create the disc exactly the same
way again).
