And, what exactly is that you need help with?
Can we help you?

My computer freezes every time I try to fill in the fields so either I'm filling it in incorrectly or my ape/cue file is causing a crash.

Am I using it incorrectly?

realoperadeal - You can try using my blog post which goes through converting and tagging APE's to FLAC's:

jamesisin,

your post is almost idiot proof enough for me, but not quite... when i put in the command (with replaced " marks and with the correct file names) it tells me that the files do not exist.

everything I've done with ubuntu so far has been so easy, but this is making me crazy - thanks for helping me out!

jamesisin,
(with replaced " marks and with the correct file names) it tells me that the files do not exist.

Keep the " marks as they are.
If you have a filename that contains special characters (such as a blank space) you'll need to write it within " or ' marks.

For some reason it's still not working. i have moved the files to several locations and renamed them to a.ape and a.cue for simplicity. however, they are still are not being found. I've tried several different commands and they all come up with something like this:

shnsplit: warning: cannot open non-existent file: [a.ape]
shnsplit: error: cannot continue due to error(s) shown above
a.cue: error opening file
cuebreakpoints: error: unable to parse input file "a.cue"

any ideas?

thanks in advance!

Strangely it is now working just fine! I must have been doing something wrong. Thanks for your help.

realoperadeal - As to the quotation marks, you can copy out of the code box instead of the other part of the post and you won't have to substitute them. Either way, copy and paste the command line and its output into a code box here:

[CODE]Paste the stuff between code brackets like this in your next post and it will appear in a code box.[/CODE]

Also, could you include the outputs of pwd and ls -l so I can check your commands compared with your location.

You can do that either here or on my blog post.
