APE+CUE, How to split? Options

[katoblepa]

Hi!
I have downloaded a .APE file of about 400mb with the related cue.
What to use to split it in different traks?

Normally I use EAC to rip mi cds but i did not found an option to manage this problem.

What do you suggest?

Thanks

foobar does not need any additional components to deal with cuesheets; however it does to deal with APE files. Download foo_input_monkey and put it in the /components folder.

Open the cuesheet in Notepad and ensure that the FILE statement correctly references your APE file.

Drag the cuesheet into a foobar playlist - foobar should list all tracks on the album.

To convert, select all tracks and choose "Convert" > "Convert To..." from the context (right-click) menu.

You can set up new Converter profiles in Preferences. If you check the wiki I expect there are guides to help you. You may be OK using one of the defaults though.

NB: If you are converting to MP3 tracks ensure you have LAME in your foobar folder, or a folder in PATH.

foo_input_monkey was already in the folder. Infact I play normally .ape files.

Dragging the cue file into a foobar playlist the list of all tracks appears ....

But at this moment I would like simply to split the file and not to convert it in another format. It is necessary in any case to use the .APE encoder during conversion? Strange...
I see that in the perferences/tools/converter are listed some default encoders. Where are they stored in the foobar dir/folders?


Thanks

Whatever format you want - even if it's APE - you will need to re-encode to split the file. If you want APE files then, yes, you will need to use MAC.EXE in a Converter profile. foobar will look for the default profile encoders in the foobar folder (or a folder in PATH); however if you set up a custom profile to convert to APE you can specify the path to the encoder.
