    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.

    This seems to be just another PHP Webclient for Music Player Daemon (http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/). But it is the continuation of the existing projects phpMp, phpMp+, phpMp2, phpMp3 and thus as stable as them, although new an shiny. Simple and easy to use.
