This program uses a .cue file to guide it in splitting a single audio file with many tracks into individual files, each with one track.
- works with any audio format supported by ffmpeg
- parses very very quickly
- conversion is lossless since no reencoding takes place
- conversion is also very quick for the same reason, only limited in speed by the amount of data being "converted"
- Has some issues with non-UTF-8 encodings
- Does not work on multi-file cue/audio combinations (e.g., album-name-part1.flac, album-name-part2.flac)
- Does not automatically write album cover to each file
- while we work on this issue, you can use tools such as puddletag for batch-writing of album covers
- ThiS program does not yet name files usably. You'll have to use another program for this (like the aforementiond puddletag)
- Can only convert formats supported by your compilation of ffmpeg
This package requires almost no installation since all the code is contained in one file which can be linked or moved to a directory in $PATH, or simply executed in a normal directory. It does, however, have a couple of dependencies:
- ffmpeg
- Installation instructions for every common operating system can be found here
- most Linux systems will have it already installed since it is a dependency for many packages
- even more Linux users will find it very easy to install as it is many distributions' default package manager repositories
- metaflac
- this should come with an installation of FLAC
- And what kind of CUE/image isn't in flac?
This command should be executed using Python 3:
- If your system has the
python3command:
ptyhon3 c2t.py [PATH_TO_DIRECTORY_CONTAINING_CUE_AND_ALBUM] - If your system uses
pythonto invoke the Python 3 interpreter:
python c2t.py [PATH_TO_DIRECTORY_CONTAINING_CUE_AND_ALBUM] - Give your user group permission to execute it and then do so (Linux):
chmod u+x c2t.py
./c2t.py [PATH_TO_DIRECTORY_CONTAINING_CUE_AND_ALBUM]
