how can I convert monolithic flac or ape disc images into tracks?

November 8, 2007 5:01 PM

I'm fed up with monolithic flac and ape files with cue sheets that winamp can't use. I like 1 track to 1 file. Is there no relatively automatic way to split these files into individual, per track, files? It goes without saying, I hope, that the individual lossless files produced would be conveniently labeled (e.g. composer-work-movement) and properly tagged. Thanks.

DBPoweramp + Flac plugin?

sharkfu. Interesting. I've downloaded and installed. The program has no way of scanning an audio stream for pauses and it doesn't notice cue files (I saw one application/extension called queMaster but it crashes on launch). I have cue sheets, Daemon virtual drive doesn't like them, winamp doesn't like them. I don't know that they're actually faulty since I didn't make them. I hope they're accurate since I'd like to break the file they cue into individual files. Any other suggestions?

I've used Medieval CUE splitter with good success.

CUE Tools was pretty much designed for this.
