It should indeed be pretty much the same. -textfile should override
CDTEXTFILE as in the cuesheet.

Thats a cuesheet as originally introduced by CDRWIN.

One site providing specs for cuesheets: http://digitalx.org/cue-sheet/syntax/
Includes: SONGWRITER, TITLE, PERFORMER, COMPOSER, ...
CDTEXTFILE points to a binary file with or without size header (see
other mail). An integrity check should be performed to some extend and a
header should be added (if not present).

sources.
