Program that can split large .flac or .wav files?

[Guest wsxedcrfv]

Is there any public-domain software that runs on win-98 that can take a .cue file and corresponding large wave or flac file and extract the individual tracks? I don't think that "Flac frontend" v1.7.1 can do this, and something called "Medieval CUE Splitter" will install on my win-98 system but I get a "EAccessViolation" when I try to run it. dbpoweramp music converter can convert the file from wave to mp3, but doesn't seem to be able to use the .cue file to split the output into individual tracks.

Hi ..

Not sure if this will fill the need, but I been toying with it

for awhile and it does some impressive things for the size

and speed.

No mention of .flac files however

You can be glad if you can already find such thing non-free and for XP and above only.

Yea, well wavosaur did not work. I tried to use it to open a .wav file (700-odd mb in size). After 90 seconds it came back, but didn't have the file open correctly (just a zero-length file).

I can convert flac <> wav <> ape using dbPoweramp, but it doesn't seem to have the ability to split files based on .cue file.

I don't know why people create entire albums as single .flac or .ape files...

------------

Maybe it's just the version of VLC that I use (0.8.6i) but it doesn't seem to have the ability to correctly open and play large .flac files.

Just a passing thought ...

If these editors are trying to load the whole file

into memory first...that might be the hang up?

I did notice that with Wavosaur ...no hard drive

activity light till I was done editing.

i was going to try streaming a cassette tape

into one large wav file to see if it could handle

it. But all this snow keeps up staging my plans.

Calling for another 6 to 12 inches tomorow.

If it's only for one or two times, the best way is still to burn the cue file and get it away with the cd.

But yes it's silly to put everything in a single file.

Sometimes one shouldn't try to understand what they have in mind.

I like Fredledingue's solution. But I'd like to add that all you need is one CD-RW to put it in practice as a general solution: burn, copy (or rip) all that interests you, then erase the CD-RW, and you're all set to start anew with another such file.

Excellent idea!

Now I'll go back and shovel some more snow.

Snow plows push from street to walks.

We shovel from the walks to the street.

Ain't life grand!

Dencorso, if the cd image makes more than 650 Mb, you are still stuck with one time cd-r.

Triger, the mad snowplower and his crow will push the snow back faster than you can shovel it!

Well, that explains why Nero In-CD formats to a little over 600mb

Ain't you just a ray of sunshine .... but as it turns out,

we gained the upper hand. While leaning on my shovel, sipping

a hot chocolate....neighbors garage door opens and here he comes

with this monster snow blower his wife got him for Christmas. We

cheered and applauded as he effortlessly undid the dirty work of the

mad snowplow crews!

Actually, I'm in the process of writing some DOS utilities that can cut and join WAV files of up to 2G in size (might work up to 4G, not sure yet). Sorry, no FLAC or CUE support is planned. No LFN support. No GUI. Cut time values are entered in seconds (decimal). So, they're fairly primitive tools. But they do handle files that are too large for the fancier tools. When the utilities are ready (should be within a week, depending on other priorities), they'll be available at : http://jds.com-t.com/general.html

Well, I've just updated the WAVEDIT utilities to include CUE file support (ImgBurn or directly compatible file format). Unless there are bugs to fix, that'll be the last update.

Exact Audio Copy can do it (Tools\Split WAV by CUE Sheet). The latest version for Win9x has problems with WAVs, but v0.95b4 works.
