Convert .FLAC to .CUE
Not directly possible
A CUE file is not audio. It is a small text file that lists the tracks and start times of a disc image or one long audio file, so an audio file cannot be converted into one.
What to do instead
- To split one long FLAC into tracks, use a tool that reads CUE sheets, for example CUETools or shntool.
- If the FLAC has an embedded cue sheet, the metaflac tool can export it with --export-cuesheet-to.
- Keep the FLAC and the CUE file in the same folder with the same base name so players link them.
