Usage
Splitting Flac file according to cue file
An easy way to split flac files according to a cue file is
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.
cuebreakpoints '<cue file>' | shnsplit -o flac '<audio flac file>'
Omitting of the -o flag will result in output files with the .wav filetype.
