It has one saving grace in that it can losslessly be converted to flac. > The flac posters seem to be a little more conscientious about tagging > and file naming. I hate those flac/cue combos in which all cd tracks are stuffed into one file almost as much as the ape/cue combos. I wrote a little Perl script that reads the cue file, splits the .flac or .ape file (or .wav in theory) creates the tracks in flac format and tags and renames them according to the info in the .cue file. http://213.84.196.8/flacsplit.pl So: Blondie - Greatest Hits.cue Blondie - Greatest Hits.flac Becomes: 01 Dreaming.flac 02 Call Me.flac 03 One Way Or Another.flac 04 Heart Of Glass.flac etc... Requires the flac (for metaflac) and shntool (for shnsplit) and Audio::Cuefile::Parser. Created and tested/used on Linux, but should probably work on Windows.
