So the perfectionism may really be a bit of an overkill.Is there ANY program to just split a big FLAC file by CUE sheet into smaller FLACs? Note that my FLACs are 192 khz, 24 bits and no program seems able to handle that. wav file, the splitting & encoding and all that stuff is just for mobile devices and other away-from-home uses. Just a quick explanation of what I'm doing: I'm always gonna be keeping the original ripped CDs in one. OK, thanks again for the incredibly in-depth answer. The effect is the same as if you had an ordinary separate-file-per-track rip. It just looks at where the index 01 points are and those are the track boundaries. the audio before the first song begins, usually just a half-second of silence) to be a track when it loads the cue sheet into the playlist, so you don't have the option of playing or converting that "hidden track".

There just aren't that many CDs that ever have anything but silence in track 01 index 01, and if I really want to restore that lost silence and reconstruct the original image, there's enough info in the original. Personally, although I know CUETools can do a more 'perfect' job, I just use foobar's converter to put each track in a separate file, and I don't worry about the HTOA or making a cue sheet that matches. Like I said, though, it doesn't make sense to use a cue sheet as a playlist when you have a separate track for each file. But if you go that route, you should save the original unmodified sheet so the gap info isn't lost.

It will also write a new cue sheet to match the files you output.Īs far as using the split rips in foobar.if the cue sheet is non-compliant, you could modify it to remove all the INDEX 00 lines, as a workaround. For splitting, you should be using CUETools if you want to preserve HTOA (it may require toggling something in the advanced settings). Medieval looses a small number of samples at the track boundaries because it tries to split on FLAC frame boundaries instead of the precise CD sector boundaries, so I can't recommend using that. However, I would say that if you have each track in a separate file, you really don't need a cue sheet at all you need a proper playlist like. If you have the audio in separate files, the corresponding cue sheet can only be compliant if there are no pregaps (a.k.a. foobar makes a dummy cue sheet for the selected tracks, with only INDEX 01 for each of doesn't try to intelligently convert the original cue sheet like CUETools does. foobar also won't generate one when splitting an image rip. There's no such thing as a non-compliant cue sheet for an image rip (all audio in one file), so you don't have to worry about splitting a non-compliant sheet. Well, yes, foobar does not consider HTOA (track 01 index 00, i.e.
