Script to split, rename and tag FLAC + CUE files

[txust]

I have just finished this new script based on the other I posted before. This one will split, rename and tag all those FLAC + cue files we usually found encoded with EAC. Use the same procedure I suggested in

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1084665&

It's also in spanish, but it's very easy to understand. I can translate it on request.
It's been tested in Hardy and Intrepid.

Here it is:

#!/bin/bash

clear

Hi txust,

would you mind translating flaccue2flac also into English?

By the way, sometimes the apecue2flac script skips the first song in a cue file with a message like "too short" and then gets the sequence of the tags wrong (song no2 getting the tag of no 1 ...).

Ok, I will translate it, no problem.
That problem you have found is not a problem in the script, but in the cue file, you have to edit it. It has happened to me several times, but I don't remember how I edited the cue file to make it work properly, but it is not difficult. I think it was quite often an issue with cue files generated by the Windows program EAC. If you find the solution, please, post it here. Thank you.

These two formats seem to be ok:

TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "song 1"
PERFORMER "Mr X"
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "song 2"
PERFORMER "Mr X"
INDEX 01 04:51:52
TRACK 03 AUDIO

and so on or

TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "song 1"
PERFORMER "Mrs Y"
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "song 2"
PERFORMER "Mrs Y"
INDEX 00 05:36:21
INDEX 01 05:36:23
TRACK 03 AUDIO

Not ok is following format:

TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "song 1"
PERFORMER "Group Z"
INDEX 00 00:00:00
INDEX 01 00:00:62
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "song 2"
PERFORMER "Group Z"
INDEX 00 07:06:55
INDEX 01 07:08:22
TRACK 03 AUDIO

However, if confirmed as correct than it should be posted somewhere else as no one would find the post in this thread.

Ok, but where could it be posted?

That's a great script - thanks for posting it.

Worked good on most files, but then choked on a FILE statement (in a cue file) that named a .flac and proclaimed it a WAV. I don't know what that means. I need a good description of cue file content.

Since the cue and flac were generated by EAC I installed it (windows XP) and tried burning, but it failed.
