Convert .MP3 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 MP3 into tracks, use a splitter that reads CUE sheets, for example mp3splt.
- To describe an MP3 with a CUE sheet, write one in a text editor: it lists FILE, TRACK and INDEX lines.
- Keep the audio file and the CUE file in the same folder with the same base name so players link them.

A CUE file is a text-based file that contains information about the layout of tracks on a disc. It is often used in conjunction with a BIN file, which contains the actual data. CUE files help media players and burning software understand how to handle the data in the BIN file.
CUE files are metadata files that describe the layout of tracks on a CD or DVD.
