Thanks to this forum, I've managed to rip some of my rarer CDs to single-file FLACs with embedded CUE sheets. Now what I want to do is figure out how to decode them in the most compatible way possible--i.e. be able to reencode gaplessly into any other format (that supports gapless), burn an exact copy, etc.

I know that foobar2k (I'm envious and wish I could use it) handles this sort of thing, but I am unable to use it because I don't use Windows.

What I'm thinking is writing a script, or program using libFLAC, that reads the embedded CUE data and decodes the FLAC using --skip and --until w/ the data from the CUE. Before I do all this, do any of you know of existing applications that do this already? Is there some option in `flac' that I haven't noticed that will do this?

I believe Lameb - Lame Batch encoder does what you are interested in, using Perl.
Look for "Split_wav v2.0"

There are a few tools, IIRC.

Shntool also does this.

I'm assuming you're using *nix?

There's a fair amount of info on the net providing answers in more detail.

Hope this helps, tec

As I'm not very familiar with it, I couldn't give you a definite answer... but shouldn't shntool be able to do that with the cue and split modules?

Bah, Tec9SD beat me.
