Can foobar2000 use an album.cue file to split an album.ape into individual song ape files or must it convert the individual song it shows in the playlist into a single uncompressed .wav file.
I want to extract the song as either a stand alone .ape file, or sometimes convert it on the fly to a stand alone .mp3 file.
If Foobar can't do this easily WHAT can?
Ditto for FLAC files.
I have done it with Exact Audio Copy the long way i.e. uncompressing first to wav file and then splitting it up with .cue. Don't think EAC can split an album.ape into song ape files directly.
Full Version: cue split album ape into song ape's
Did you even bother to try it?
It's so simple. Set the converter/diskwriter preset to Monkey's Audio or MP3.
Load the .cue file, select your track, rightclick and convert.

I have an mp3 file with a cue sheet that I'd like to split into individual files. Is there a way to do this without converting?
EDIT: I found mp3direcCut and it did what I was looking for though there were 2 sync errors. Anyhoo, if there were a way to do it w/ foobar, I'm still interested to know. Thanks.

Foobar don't cut files directly AFAIK. I haven't cut so many mp3 singlefile albums, but with those I've tried I had problems getting mp3DirectCut to split exact on tracks. I've had far better (exact, as far as I can see/hear) results with mp3splt. Theres's a GTK+ GUI version available too, but it's a bit... well, eh, I just used the commandline tool... Here's a batchfile you can use for "GUI" (just make sure to put mp3splt.exe in searchpath):
CODE
@echo off
title split mp3 with cue
echo.
set /p filevar=please input filename of mp3 file (and full path if not same dir):
echo.
set /p cuevar=please input filename of cuesheet (and full path if not same dir):
echo.
set /p outvar=please input name of output directory (and full path if not in same dir):
if not exist "%outvar%" mkdir "%outvar%"
echo.
mp3splt.exe -f "%filevar%" -c "%cuevar%" -o [@n]+@a+-+@t -d "%outvar%"
echo.
echo.
echo all done!
echo press a key to exit
pause > nul
exit
title split mp3 with cue
echo.
set /p filevar=please input filename of mp3 file (and full path if not same dir):
echo.
set /p cuevar=please input filename of cuesheet (and full path if not same dir):
echo.
set /p outvar=please input name of output directory (and full path if not in same dir):
if not exist "%outvar%" mkdir "%outvar%"
echo.
mp3splt.exe -f "%filevar%" -c "%cuevar%" -o [@n]+@a+-+@t -d "%outvar%"
echo.
echo.
echo all done!
echo press a key to exit
pause > nul
exit
If you want a different filenaming scheme just run mp3splt.exe without any switches for a list of options (or check manpage here) and edit batchfile accordingly.
Also ofcourse you already got the cuesheet, but in cases where it's lost I've just found Freedb Easy Navigator, a brilliant little program that among others can transform a freedb entry to a cuesheet. You only have to open the cuesheet in a texteditor afterwards and add a filename line, e.g. like:
QUOTE
PERFORMER "Felix Kubin"
TITLE "Matki Wandalki"
REM ID: 9209aa0d
REM Generated with Freedb Easy Navigator 1.2.5.0
FILE "Felix Kubin - Matki Wandalki (2004).mp3" WAVE
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "Wirbelwind am Manual"
PREGAP 00:02:00
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO

Try this one, it should be able to split mp3s according to a cuesheet without introducing sync errors.
pcutmp3
(Also note that mp3splt which Mr_Rabid_Teddybear suggested seems likely to introduce bit reservoir errors, see discussion here for example)

Great! Another option which I have used only once but with success for what I considered to be a not very popular album is:
Cuesheet Heaven:
http://www.regeert.nl/cuesheet/
In my case I had an AlbumFile.ogg. I think the cue sheet was for AlbumFile.mp3 but in my experience .cue sheets are transparent as to whether the file is .wav, ape, ogg, mp3 just so long as you edit them to point to the right AlbumFile.EXT.

What is a sync error?
I personally have had no need t use mp3directcut except when THERE WAS NO CUE SHEET. I have used it to EITHER manually determine the split points by playing the album.mp3 in mp3directcut and saving one track at a time to separate files OR, more recently I discovered its ability to automatically find and create the track files by looking for silence between songs?
