split2flac splits one big APE/FLAC/TTA/WV/WAV audio image (or a collection of such files, recursively) with CUE sheet into FLAC/M4A/MP3/OGG_VORBIS/OPUS/WAV tracks with tagging, renaming, charset conversion of cue sheet, album cover images. It also uses configuration file, so no need to pass a lot of arguments every time, only an input file. Should work in any POSIX-compliant shell.

NOTE: script is able to find cover image and cue sheet automatically (including internal ones).

• place split2flac somewhere (/usr/bin or /usr/local/bin is fine)

• create symbolic links to the same file like this:

  cd /usr/bin    # this is a directory where split2flac was installed
  ln -s split2flac split2mp3
  ln -s split2flac split2ogg
  ln -s split2flac split2opus
  ln -s split2flac split2m4a
  ln -s split2flac split2wav
  

• Required:

  • shntool
  • cuetools

• Optional:

  • flac (or better flake, which is much faster) to split from/into FLAC
  • faac and libmp4v2 to split into M4A
  • wavpack to split WV
  • mac to split APE
  • ttaenc to split TTA
  • imagemagick to convert/resize album cover images
  • iconv to convert CUE sheet from non-UTF8 charset
  • enca to automatically detect charset if it's not UTF8
  • lame and id3lib (or better mutagen for Unicode tags) to split into MP3
  • vorbis-tools to split into OGG VORBIS
  • opus-tools to split into OPUS

• Replay Gain:

  • flac for FLAC Replay Gain support
  • aacgain to adjust gain in M4A
  • mp3gain for MP3
  • vorbisgain for OGG VORBIS gain adjustment
