3 samples you won’t hear, not even an audible click. But you will notice 585 (588 – 3) samples of digital silence put there by the burner to fill up a sector on a CD, specially if the album is was gapless.

And there is also an issue of lossless archival, for which Medieval is not appropriate software (as is wmal, which nobody uses anyway).

kislosh, there’s no need to get so upset over it. Nobody’s “destroying” anything. It’s really not a big deal if a few frames are placed at the beginning of one file instead of the end of the previous. Anybody who claims to be able to hear the difference is blowing hot air. Play 3 frames of any audio sample in your favorite DAW, it’s nothing more than an audible click. You need a much larger sample to make any sense out of it. And anyway, what you should be complaining about is .wma files. if you compare a .wav rip and a lossless .wma rip of the same song, you’ll notice the .wma is ~16 frames longer, making it a much more serious offender.

Wrong (missing) advice about gaps.
They should be added an inverted (appended to previous track).

Medieval splitter worked perfect for me.

I had a CD box set with all discs ripped into the one flac file.

I downloaded medieval splitter, installed and it done what this website said it would do.

Fast as hell – ripped a full CD and spilt it under less than a minute!

Very useful tool.

Thanks.

try decoding medieval’s output
by incorrect track lengths i meant output not a multiple of 588 samples (i.e. causes sector boundary errors)
new .cue it makes is a joke, open it in text editor

Alternatives:
EAC has a image splitting tool, but only works with wavs and therefore loses tags.
Foobar2000 splits with converter, but doesn’t make new .cue.
CUETools splits, converts, makes new .cue, compares with AccurateRip database and fixes offsets.

kislosh -

I’ve only had great experiences with Medieval Cue Splitter. It has worked perfectly for me each and every time, perfect track lengths and absolutely no instability or issues in general. Can you suggest an alternative (free or open source) tool for Windows that does the same thing?

Medieval Cue Splitter sux.
no CRC, incorrect track lengths, stay away with lossless files.
