I am trying to split a cdimage.ape file into multiple mp3 files, working with foobar2000. If I open the cdimage.ape file, right click and click convert, I end up with a single file. If I open the .cue file, nothing shows in the playlist area. What am I missing ?

Make sure that the two files are in the same folder. Open the cuesheet and make sure that the file command points to the correct file, e.g.:

With permission of Synthetic Soul, let me clarify this a bit.

You have a file and a cue file, ok? It is as simple as this:

I've got a file named ==> Boston - Third Stage [MFSL UDCD 582].ape

So that you can open the file with Foobar (and then whatever you want with it), open the cue file with a text editor (Notepad is OK for this) and make sure this line is EXACT to the file's name:

REM GENRE Rock
REM DATE 1986
REM DISCID 8608990A
REM COMMENT "ExactAudioCopy v0.95b4"
PERFORMER "Boston"
TITLE "Third Stage [MFSL UDCD 582]"
FILE "Boston - Third Stage [MFSL UDCD 582].ape" WAVE
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "Amanda"
PERFORMER "Boston"
INDEX 00 00:00:00
INDEX 01 00:00:37

Should you have in the cue file this: FILE "Boston - Third Stage [MFSL UDCD 582].wav" WAVE

Then change wav for ape and save changes. Now the cue file is ready so that Foobar can play the file OK.

This would not happen if people always included cue files for APE and WAV but it is not always the case.

I think the magic words in his case are most likely:
