Re: .ape and .cue in mac osx hell....

Righto, the ones with CUE files are nice 'n' easy.

Either:

1) http://tmkk.hp.infoseek.co.jp/xld/index_e.html*

Open the CUE file with this little feller and the rest will be obvious.

You don't get any options as to how the split files are renamed but they will have a more useful starting point than method 2

2) Open the CUE file and delete all lines before the one beginning

FILE "Bigbastidapefile.wav" WAVE etc

Save the changes and then open up xACT. Select the shntool tab and then the split button. Choose your output format and then navigate to the big APE file. When propmpted point xACT at your edited CUE and let rip.

I'd love to have a peep at your cueless files but I'm guessing they're extended CD format, i.e. some music and some video/data content or something like that. I'm no Windows expert (or even competent) but I don't think those EXE files would contain split points.

Edit: * If you're on OS X 10.3 (Panther) you need to right (control)-click on the application itself and select Show Package Contents. Open the Contents folder and then move XLDAlacDecoder.bundle and XLDAacOutput.bundle from the PlugIns folder to PlugIns Disabled.
