Sound junkies, I need your help: it's a two-parter.

1. Can anyone recommend a good, (preferably) open source cue cutter?

2. What's the best freeware available for converting .tta files to .mp3 or .wav?

Best answer: Foobar2000 can do the the transcoding task (2) and can split lossless audio into individual files, reading tags from a cue sheet. If you're cutting a lossy codec where you can't just losslessly recompress, try Medieval Cue Splitter. Bear in mind that for lossless tasks either foobar2000 or CUETools are more feature-rich and flexible.

Best answer: 1. Try CueTools.
2. The free version of dbPowerAmp can do this. Be sure to get the appropriate plugins.
