But I'm trying to get better about asking for help, so I'm putting this out there for those who like to figure out these kinds of puzzles.
Flac cue splitter reddit how to#
This is the kind of thing I'd spend a couple days figuring out myself, splitting some rips and seeing what Medieval actually does and how to best undo it. I have come to realize that this is redundant:P As far as the different timings go, I posted a side 1 and side 2 CUES on accident, I should pay more attention and be more consistent:p. Many applications lose vital information upon conversion, and dont. I wanted to split the original FLAC file with the CUE that was created from the decompressed WAV, created from the FLAC image. A lossless disc image must be lossless not only in preserving contents of the audio tracks, but also in preserving gaps and CUE sheet contents. The goal is to make sure the album image is preserved accurately. so it should be possible to undo the damage. CUETools is a tool for lossless audio / CUE sheet format conversion. and Medieval probably splits in a predictable way, I'd hope. It seems to me that if you have all the tracks and the original cue sheet, then you know what the actual duration of each track is supposed to be, and then there's only so many possibilities of how far off the boundaries are. What I am wondering is if it's possible, given a rip that was split by this tool, to trim the extra samples and thus get a proper split like CUETools would've created, and/or reconstruct the original CD image file. You also can't easily look up the disc in MusicBrainz or freedb. This naturally interferes with gapless playback, and the wrong durations & duplicated data makes the files impossible to verify against AccurateRip and CTDB. The files always come out longer than they should, I think, so it must overshoot a little on either end, either padding with silence or using a split-second of audio from the track before & after. Unfortunately, Medieval's method for avoiding transcoding results in a dealbreaker for some of us: it adds extra audio to each track!Īt least, when writing FLAC files, it cuts tracks on FLAC's internal block boundaries, so every file is a multiple of 1024 samples instead of 588 samples. The difference is Medieval was written to be fast by avoiding transcoding, even lossless to lossless, which would be harmless. You can split FLAC CUE with the CUETools software. I end up with 12 songs, all with the same name. When I try to split the tracks in foobar by using utils -> load cuesheet, sometimes, the 'title' tag for each individual song doesnt carry over.

It's an alternative to this functionality in CUETools. You can easily cut and edit FLAC files easily using a media editor.
