    you tried it using the example as a guide?

    cue2tracks -h

    -btw, I've used cuebreakpoints and shntools successfully in the past, following the very same link you posted (mainly to break up .ape cd images I got through torrents)

    Re: trying to split a cd image

    I just tried out mp3splt...works fine for me:

    user@ubuntu:~/music2/1-new/Various-Gloria_Cheng_Piano_Music_of_Salonen,_Stucky,_Lutos lawski$ mp3splt -c Gloria_Cheng_Piano_Music_of_Salonen,_Stucky,_Lutos lawski.cue Gloria_Cheng_Piano_Music_of_Salonen,_Stucky,_Lutos lawski.mp3

    |NOTE: When you use cddb/cue, splitted files might be not very precise due to

    |2) Who burns CD might add extra pause seconds between tracks. Never do it. |
    |3) Encoders might add some padding frames so that file is longer than CD. |

    Thanks Logos34 for the interest.

    I honestly think I must be missing something. How do you "just grab the .cue file and click convert" with K3b. I've been fiddling with it and just don't see how. I'd very much appreciate if you can tell me exactly how you do that.

    On the other -as weird as it might be- I don't use MP3 files. They seem to be better supported and everything but I only use lossless formats. Please, get back to me (or anyone else) as I'm sure there must be a way (by the waym, I know you can i use Audacity manually but really is a lot of hassle.

    Re: trying to split a cd image

    here, try it this way:

    in your file browser right click on the .cue file>open with>k3b

    in k3b:

    >Project>Convert tracks

    if option not there, maybe you're missing a library or plugin

    sudo apt-get install libk3b2-extracodecs sox

    The only drawback is that I think it will split and re-encode to mp3 (the general rule is to avoid lossy-to-lossy conversion, but the diff probably won't be noticeable. Besides, nothing else seems to work!)

    mp3splt, if only you could get it to work, is the ideal way (splits without decoding/encoding)

    Re: trying to split a cd image

    K3b doesn't give me the option to convert tracks even after installing the package you indicated, I don't really know what is going on. Just for the record i'm using version 3.5.10. On the other hand as I said I don't use lossy formats, not for classical music anyway, so an output in mp3 would't be much use.

    I do belive cuebreakpoints is probably the answer. I wonder if you have some APE or FLAC image file that you could have a go to with cuebreakpoits, to see if it works for you. If it does maybe you could post what you typed in the terminal so i can make sense of it.

    Re: trying to split a cd image

    3.5.1o here too...hmm, maybe k3b needs ffmpeg for convert, that's about all that's left :/ dunno

    anyway, try this way:
    shnsplit -o wav -f sample.cue sample.wav
    here's what I end up with (unfortunately it doesn't print out track names):

    user@ubuntu:~/music2/1-new/Various-Gloria_Cheng_Piano_Music_of_Salonen,_Stucky,_Lutos lawski$ shnsplit -o wav -f Gloria_Cheng_Piano_Music_of_Salonen,_Stucky,_Lutos lawski.cue Gloria_Cheng_Piano_Music_of_Salonen,_Stucky,_Lutos lawski.wav

    lemme see if there's another way to get track titles

    Re: trying to split a cd image

    logos 34:

    You are a star mate,it did work indeed, and even if it doesn't keep the track names is a huge step forward for me. I still need to see if it works the same way with compressed files (other wise I'll have to convert them to wav and back again).

    I'll have a look at this tomorrow and let you know. I'll give this as sorted anyway.

    Good effort. Thanks a lot

    Re: trying to split a cd image

    can't mark threads 'solved' anymore...they removed that option (?)

    I've never figured out the direct cuebreakpoints command--it converts the flac into individual wavs (??):

    using this cue sheet:
    Ga_Ga_Ga_Ga_Ga.cue.txt

    I get:
    $ cuebreakpoints Ga_Ga_Ga_Ga_Ga.cue | shnsplit Ga_Ga_Ga_Ga_Ga.flac
    bad character 'F'
    bad character 'L'
    bad character 'A'

    why is it outputting wav? hmm...

    Here's a cheat sheet I compiled way back to help with ape to flac convert:

    maybe with a few tweaks you can get it to work like you want
    ape-convert.txt

    hope that helps

    Re: trying to split a cd image

    no wonder it was complaining--typo in the .cue.

    format should be

    'FILE "sample.flac" WAVE'

    not

    'FILE "sample.flac" FLAC'

    duh

    So here's an .ape image split with the cuebreakpoints command (same result - no titles):

    using this .cue sheet:

    PERFORMER "Debussy - CO - Boulez"
    TITLE "Debussy - La Mer, Nocturnes"
    FILE "CDimage ape normal.ape" WAVE

    INDEX 01 00:00:00
    TRACK 02 AUDIO
    TITLE "II. Fetes"
    INDEX 01 06:15:00
    TRACK 03 AUDIO
