@ben2talk Thanks for your reply, indeed you are right the .cue file looks to be created for a .wav file, since it contains the "WAVE" tag at the end of the FILE value.

I want to point out for clarity that in Strawberry adding the .cue or the .flac file directly works fine as it is. (The problem happens when adding folders that contain a single flac / cue)

I don't really want to split the .flac in multiple files, still tried DeadBeef, and found our that in DeadBeef player adding the folders works just fine.

I also took a look at .cue format standard, and tried changing WAVE to FLAC, just in case : same outcome.

Thanks!

I'm no expert, but you'd probably need the rest of your equipment and software (at least until the signal is turned to analog) to support it, and even then it's doubtful there will be any difference (https://www.makeuseof.com/16-bit-vs-24-bit-audio/).

@cybuzz73 The last Strawberry update was almost two months ago, which is kinda recent. You probably found a new bug 'cause I think is the first time someone complains about this issue. In Windows Strawberry works fine speaking about this section (Based in my experience) so, perhaps is a bug happening only in Linux Mint?

Character missing from the font being used?
