How do I permanently split .flac files with .cue files into individual tracks?
jacobair:
thx, this works great with Mediacenter onboard tools
as described by Justin, good added value!

I have been doing some track splitting today, but getting quite varied results. I have about a dozen albums that have all the tracks rolled into one, for reasons I do not know about (I didn't rip them). They are not SACD or HD - just regular sized 16 bit 44.1Hz flacs.
The first thing to note is that BEFORE I even knew that track splitting could be done (i.e. 10 days ago), there was one album that was one single track but when I Imported it to the library it automatically came in as 10 split tracks (each 383Mb, which is the size of the whole one-track). Looking at the Metadata in the file (via Windows) it has a Comment: ExactAudioCopy v0.99pb5 so presumably it was ripped via EAC.
It also has a tag "cuesheet", with the following info:
REM GENRE Rock;
REM DATE 2015;
REM DISCID 040D0F11;
REM COMMENT ExactAudioCopy v0.99pb5;
PERFORMER "edited";
TITLE "edited";
FILE "edited.wav" WAVE; (but it's actually a flac file)
TRACK 01 AUDIO;
TITLE "edited";
PERFORMER "edited";
INDEX 01 00:00:00;
etc etc
TRACK 17 AUDIO;
TITLE "edited";
PERFORMER "edited";
INDEX 01 61:23:35;
So I'm assuming that it has followed this cue sheet when it was imported to JRiver.
I'm wondering if I can create my own cuesheet tag (again via Windows) for the other files, as long as I research the track lengths and check the silences against the file by playing it. It sure would beat the hell out of creating all the different particles, mainly because of the what has been happening (description follows).
I have now converted these 10 phantom files to "proper" files, quite easily as instructed above. The benefit to me is that they can now be exported to my DAP which of course does not use JRiver.
EDIT: I'll make these separate posts for ease of reading.

Crikey! I've well and truly surprised myself! I can add a tag for cuesheet, and then copy the contents of another one and modify it with the correct track names and start times, import it to JRiver....AND IT WORKS! ;D
