Description-en: tools for manipulating CUE/TOC files
cuetools is a set of programs that are useful for manipulating CUE sheet
(cue) files and Table of Contents (toc) files. CUE and TOC files are a way
to represent the layout of a data or audio CD in a machine-readable ASCII
format. The package includes these utilities:
.
- cueconvert: convert between CUE and TOC formats
- cuebreakpoints: print the breakpoints from a CUE or TOC file
- cueprint: print disc and track information for a CUE or TOC file
- cuetag: tag files based on CUE/TOC file information
.
Probably the most popular use is to split a large audio file into many
small files according to a CUE or TOC, for example:
.
cuebreakpoints disc.cue | shnsplit disc.wav
