    My main audio player for many years has been, and will remain, foobar, but there are some times when I just want a simple “load’n'play” type of player. An application that comes very close is Billy.

    CuePlay is an audio player for Linux and Mac OS X. It has been created to be able to play MP3 and FLAC files with cuesheets, because foobar2000 isn't present at the Linux platform. This enables one to create one long MP3/FLAC file and index it with a .cue file.
