Got a large .flac file, but your mp3 player do not understand .cue files? So just split the file quickly and easily with cuetools and shnsplit.
first yo need to install the tools, on ubuntu-terminal type:
sudo apt-get install cuetools shntool
you also need „flac“:
sudo apt-get install flac
now all yo have to do is navigating (with cd command) to the location of your .flac and .cue file and typing in:
cuebreakpoints *.cue | shnsplit -o flac *.flac ;
cuebreakpoints reports the track breakpoints written in the .cue file. The pipe (|) redirects the output of cuebreakpoints to the input of shnsplit, which finally splits the .flac file. -o specifies the output format (here flac, by default wav). By default the splitted tracks are named „split-track01.flac“ , “ split-track02.flac“ , … . You can change this by adding the -a option.
for copying the cue-tags (artist’s name etc …) type in:
cuetag *.cue split-track*.flac ;
