Ever used mpd-cue ? Then leave some tips....

Hello. I started using mpd + ncmpcpp + mpc(for fast keybindings) about a month ago and i am loveing it. But lately i have been demanded to use .cue sheets files. at times which mpd was yet unknown to me i would use wine with foobar, i didn't like amarok one bit (it's cue sheet support is lame, and bloddy slow,and bloddy ugly, and maybe no sweet keybindings ,i dunno how it is now thou) so i prefered foobar's simplicity. However since i loved, still do, mpd, i  searched for something that made mpd support cue files. I found mpd-cue on AUR. The only problem is that i am clueless how to use it.

Any tip is welcome. Thanks in advance !!!!

simply copy directory with cue+ape (cue+flac) where your`s music directory pointed from mpd.conf is
from mpc you can navigate to this dir and add to playlist
after compilation mpd-cue works fine

i'm using mpd-git from AUR, compiled with --enable-cue, libcue installed, but mpd still not read title and artist from .cue . maybe i dont know how to enable this option... (.cue files are ok - working ok in amarok)

mpd only supports embedded cue sheets yet... you can use cuetools to create those...

I've tried mpd-cue. But it can't play to ICE1724 (ESI Juli@) device. It says, that device doesn't support 16-bit audio.
Can someone help me with this?

Sorry for my mistakes above. I'm Ukrainian and don't know English well.
I heard the best way to get support on any topic is to post to any linux board and say "linux sucks because you can't do x" supposedly, you'll get hundreds of replies telling you how you can do x amidst the ridicule and disdain.
