hi,

i wanna split some big files flac into little flacs. ( bigger flac is the whole cd and little ones would be the songs)

any1 knows how i can do it? perhaps a link to a little utils program or a command line in flac exe?

thanks

You need to reencode. foobar2000 does it in a snap: When the FLAC image has loaded the corresponding CUE file, you rightclick the album track-items and choose Convert to, and select the format of your choice (output will only be an image, if you choose that option).

It'd be easier to re-encode the FLAC's from CD because you'll get the exact track boundary timings.

If you have a cuesheet, then you can use that to split the big FLAC file; you'll still get exact track boundaries.

If the image files contain cue information in the cuesheet metadata block then FLAC can natively extract on a per-track basis, using --cue.

However, most users seem to prefer a CUESHEET Vorbis tag to the cuesheet metadata block. In this case you may as well use foobar, or ACDIR/CuePROC on the command line.

... or Cue Tools

Foobar2000 does it for me.

Hey Synthetic Soul, how long has it been since we've dealt with splitting image files?

Personally, if the flac has an embedded cuesheet, I just let the flac commandline split it for me.



Then it's just a matter of recompressing the resulting wavs to flac. (Although, I guess you could just pipe it...)

Not long enough.

Piping would make sense. I do like this aspect of FLAC. That said, using foobar or ACDIR is no big deal, and ACDIR handles Monkey's Audio, FLAC and WavPack natively.

Is there a way to do something similar to the following?

flac.exe --insert-cuesheet-track-selection-option-here 1 input.flac output.flac



If yes, I can do something like the following with bash:

for X in `seq -w 1 12`
do flac --insert-cuesheet-track-selection-option-here $X input.flac output${X}.flac
done

You might be able to do something like the following (untested):

the correct syntax would be e.g.but there seem to be some bugs with --cue/--skip and flac->flac encoding which need fixing... will put that on the TODO.
