No Cue File - Tool Recommendations
I want to split a file (into multiple tracks) that came without a cue sheet. I have single ape, flac and wav files I want to split. What do the pro's advise to use for the budding neophyte?

Re: No Cue File - Tool Recommendations
no, you need to decode them to wav first [use Traders Little Helper]

Re: No Cue File - Tool Recommendations
Update :
The Audacity session went great. The TLH/fix SBE session did not. The function terminated after reporting the first file encountered thus : "01. filename.wav : file is not CD-quality. Failed to fix files due to errors, see above." Oh well ... Still, the core purpose of this topic is resolved and the files are split, properly labeled and play/sound just fine. thnx!

Re: No Cue File - Tool Recommendations
Latest versions of Audacity will handle flac files, but not ape.

I've done just the same, and produced a file that is only 44bytes in length. (See the attached shntool txt, under expanded size). Also in the shntool txt, you'll see that under cdr, that there is an 's' under cdr. Quote:
I think that Audacity always does this (producing a 44byte long track) when a label (track split) is put at the beginning of the track and 'Include Audio Before First Label' box is ticked. So, either follow AAR.oner's instructions and do not tick the 'Include Audio Before First Label' box or put your first label at the end of where you want your first track to end, then continue as per instructions and then tick the 'Include Audio Before First Label' box. A side point: Given the above, following AAR.oner's method of putting a label at the beginning of the track (and not ticking the box) implies that you're always going to lose the first 44bytes of data. This may or may not be important to you... No members have liked this post.

Re: No Cue File - Tool Recommendations
To avoid SBE in audacity check the box "Snap To" and change "Selection start" menu to "CDDA frames" or "hh:mm:ss + CDDA frames". Also when you export your files be sure to have selected "WAV (Microsoft) signed 16bit PCM".

Re: No Cue File - Tool Recommendations
The info file is not CD-quality stays for audio data is not 16 bit 44.1 kHz. 16 bit 44.1 kHz is the standard for audio CDs. So you have to downsample/upsample that audio data if you want to burn an audio CD. Note that sector boundary errors only make sense when it comes to audio CDs (that's why the fix failed).

^^^
alot to digest here ... Quote:
fwiw, the original flac (a 24-bit/48kHz file) conversion to wave via TLH gave no errors and was successful. The TLH/sbe-fix process produced no files. It just terminated. Quote:

Re: No Cue File - Tool Recommendations
The point is sector boundary errors are only releveant to CD standard (16bit/44kHz) files, not any others, so you needn't worry about them for your 24-bit/48kHz file.

That TLH error message gave me cause to question file 'quality', where as in truth it is merely referring to cdr-burning 'compatibility', correct? No members have liked this post.
