# flac (Package)
|
|
|
|
This article describes the `flac` package on linux.
|
|
For the audio codec see the [flac entry](../flac_(codec).md)
|
|
`flac` is a package to work with the [flac codec](../flac_(codec).md).
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
On most distributions it is bundled together with the command line tagging
|
|
software `metaflac` and other auxiliary tools in the `flac` package.
|
|
Another possible tagging software is [MusicBrainz Picard](../picard.md)
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Splitting Flac file according to cue file
|
|
|
|
An easy way to split flac files according to a [cue file](../cue_sheet.md) 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`.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cuebreakpoints '<cue file>' | shnsplit -o flac '<audio flac file>'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Omitting of the `-o` flag will result in output files with the `.wav` filetype.
