Adding Directory with mp3 and cue files

Is there an easy way to manage this?

Should I just confirm all my 200MB .mp3 files with a .cue file into a list of tracks?  For example, if I add my a folder full of Albums, it adds them twice (one being the cue, then the 2 hour track).

I don't want to filter only .mp3 -- because then I lose having the individual tracks in the playlist.  So basically, I want to emulate the rule "only add the .mp3 file if there isn't a .cue in the same directory which references it"

Is this possible?

Thanks

embedd the cue into the file's tags, exclude ".cue" from the media library.

If you're using album images you could also rename them to *.cue.mp3 and exclude *.cue.mp3 from your media library.

That way your normal .mp3 files would still be in your library.

How  can I do that? Is there a fast way to do it? Do I loose gapless playback? I don't want to manually do it for the hundreds of cues I have...
