Absolute vs relative pathnames

Are there any plans to support absolute pathnames within cue sheets?

What is the "relative" pathname base directory? Is it the directory of the playlist? Is it the directory of foobar2K executable?

Can this "start" directory be set through the foobar2K start command?

I don't think so.

The directory where the .cue file is located.

No. Cue sheets are not playlists.
Full-quoting makes you scroll past the same junk over and over.

Thanks for that!  Now I know how to deal with them.

Excellent forum.

This all came out when trying to run foobar under cMP.  cPlay is the usual suspect for doing so and it supports absolute path names within cue sheets. 

Is there a cue file creator that will create the relative names that foobar likes?  I used recursive cue creator, but it created absolute paths.  ( I suppose I could modify the jar file....)

if you create your compressed audio backup of a cd with foobar, you can choose to create single file + cue.
