There's a free progeam called Audacity (check at versiontracker.com) that will let you split up wavs/aiffs wherever you want.

I'm a Mac user too and I HATE .cue files. Nothing but trouble IMO. I never use them.

I think what you're saying about xAct is true, that you can do what you say, but I don't use the shntool tab either so I'm not sure how to do it.
