I have the following files in a directory:

CD1.mpc
CD1.mpc.cue

The CD1.mpc is the entire CD's worth of tracks, and the cue file contains the information need to split/name the individual tracks (index data, titles, etc). My question is: how can I easily split the big mpc file into smaller ones corresponding to each of the tracks? I would like to do this without decoding to wav and then reencoding to mpc.

Thanks all!

Nice question! I also want to learn this...

try downloading foobar and use the diskwriter to output *.wav files, that should work.

Bluesky asked how to do this without reencoding.

AFAIK it is theoretically possible (to some extent, search the forum for further details), but there're no tools to perform such operation yet. So you'll have to stay with mpc+cue.

You can't split SV7 files perfectly even theoretically.
You can with SV8 files though AFAIK.

Frank Klemm claimed that it can be done at frame boundaries (here). Of course it's not sample-accurate, but then mp3 splitting is also impossible in that manner.

Which is not ready yet, actually, *sigh*

That's what i meant by not perfect.
But still there's no tool to do it at frame boundaries.
