If you want to do it with the losssless source it's easy. Just load the .cue to foobar2000 and use converter to split it. This way it's lossless (except of the pregap's if you detected them while ripping) if you use a lossless/uncompressed codec in foobar converter (like WAV, FLAC or WAVPACK) or encode directly using foobar2000 to mp3 (you probably want to do this, right?)
For mp3, you have to find something that cuts gapless - I hope someone else can help you with this as I don't know of any app doing what you want.

My recommendation is to encode to individual mp3s from the .cue/wav using the foobar2000 converting method.

pcutmp3, made by HA's own SebastianG. Best / only tool for 100% accuracy with vbr mp3s.

If you still have the wav source, it might be better to do as gasman suggests though.

By far and away the best mp3 (and mp2) editor is mp3DirectCut, which you can get on:

http://mpesch3.de1.cc/

It's free, fast, intuitive and displays very large files far more rapidly than any other editor I know (such as Audacity).

Cheers,
