This tutorial will guide you through the steps required to split a single large .flac file into multiple tracks/songs.
- If you’ve downloaded an album in .flac format, and it’s one big file, you can split it into multiple tracks (songs) via the .cue file that should be included in the download. There are a number of reasons for wanting to do this, the most common is to create individual MP3s of each track, rather than one long MP3 of the entire album. Once you’re done splitting the .flac file, you can use this tutorial to convert them to MP3s.
- To get started, download and install Medieval Cue Splitter. The installation is very straight forward – you’ll click “Next” a few times and then you’re done. Launch it by double-clicking its Desktop icon, or from its entry in your Start menu.
If .cue files are already associated with a program on your PC, you’ll be prompted with a message asking if you’d like to associate all .cue files with Medieval Cue Splitter. Click Yes or No based on your needs.
- And now Medieval Cue Splitter will launch.
- From the top navigation window, select File and then Open CUE file… from the drop-down list.
- Navigate to your .cue file, select it, and click the Open button.
- Medieval Cue Splitter will populate all the fields with the appropriate information. When you’re ready to split the large .flac file into individual tracks, click the Split button in the bottom left corner of the window.
- When prompted for a location to save the .flac files, select the location of your choice. I opted to save them in the same folder as the original large flac and its .cue file. Click OK
- And now Medieval Cue Splitter will do its thing. The time it takes to split the file depends on the speed of your PC, but generally it’s a fast process. The green ‘status indicator’ in the bottom right corner of the window will display the progress.
- Once completed, a small pop-up window will appear. Click OK.
- And now you’ll have each track on the album as an individual .flac file. The original .flac file will remain as well – it’s not deleted.
