@ -19,12 +19,27 @@ using `cuebreakpoints` and `shnsplit`.
On most distributions they are in a package with the same name.
The following line of shell command splits a flac file according to a cue file.
The `-o` tag specifies the output file format.
If problems arise when splitting up the file it is recommended to convert the
file to the also lossless `.wav`, split the files and convert it back to
`.flac`.
```sh
cuebreakpoints '<cue file>' | shnsplit -o flac '<audio flac file>'
```
Omitting of the `-o` flag will result in output files with the `.wav` filetype.
Alternatively the usage of `cuebreakpoints` can be avoided with the following
command.
```sh
shnsplit -f '<cue file>' -o flac '<audio flac file>'
```
Another option is to use [`cue2tracks`](https://github.com/ar-lex/cue2tracks).
An example command looks like the following.
The `.flac` file is not mentioned in the command.
```sh
cue2tracks '<cue file>'
```
For any of these commands there can be problems with splitting `.flac` files.
It then is recommended to convert the file to the also lossless `.wav` format,
split the files and convert it back to `.flac`.
