Jul 16, 2020 FLAC is a lossless audio format favored by many music enthusiasts. However, whether you archive CDs by ripping CDs to FLAC or download a FLAC album on the Internet, you will usually get a large single FLAC image file including all FLAC tracks along with a small cue file that contains metadata indexes of all audio tracks. Because the CUE file exists, you can split one single FLAC album file.
FLAC allows you to backup CDs without any quality damage and usually, when you rip CD to FLAC, you will get a large FLAC file along with a cue file containing the tracklist. To split an individual FLAC file to multiple tracks, you need a FLAC CUE splitter that enables spliting the FLAC file via the CUE file. And here we will show you two useful splitters. Moreover, if you need to convert the separated FLAC files to MP3, WAV, and other formats, this audio converter will be useful:
Audiophile FLAC CUE splitter AuI ConverteR 48x44 [Mac, Windows] cut big audio files with 1 sample precision by *.cue index (musical albums) to separate files (tracks) .flac, .mp3, .wav, .dsf and other. Big files WAV, DSF, DFF, APE, WavePack (.wv) are supported too. Metadata (song information) from *.cue is exported to target files. AuI ConverteR is able to assign album artwork to target files. Bit-perfect splitting (without quality losses) is available for lossless to lossless file conversion.
To split FLAC CUE musical album into separate tracks [audio files] with 1 sample precision:
Select lossless target PCM format (FLAC, WAV, AIFF), sample rate and bit depth identical input file or set 'as input'
In Settings window (General tab) Don't make DSP... switch should be checkedRead more about sound quality for CUE split below.
for playback music on:

There are losses always when:
If bit depth is increased (example: 16 to 24 or 32 bit, 24 to 32 bit), there are not quality losses into AuI ConverteR.

Decoding and reencoding of FLAC files are lossless actions.
But without decoding and reencoding FLAC file may be splitted with frame (data block) precision.
It can cause placement of next track fragment to end of previous thack.
To avoid the issue AuI ConverteR split files by marks into cue-file with precision 1 sample (exact track border) without quality losses.
When mp3 (or other lossy) audio file is splitted to mp3 (or other lossy), to split with 1 sample precision there is re-encoding is happens. And target files have some losses (audible or not, we can't say exactly), comparing with original stuff.
But for cases, where splitting per audio data block cause sound penetration of next track begin to end of previous one, splitting per 1 sample may be more desirable.

Main window of AuI ConverteR > Parameters tab > True Gapless Mode switch should be checked
In Settings window Don't make DSP... switch should be checked.
In True Gapless Mode files processed sequentially. It defined necessity of connecting neighbour files borders.
Free demo insert two second pauses into 2nd and next tracks.
As rule, .cue and .flac files should have similar file names. Otherwise, AuI ConverteR try to found appropriate big audio file automatically.
Warning: In version earlier 9.2, before CUE + other than FLAC, WAV, AIFF, DSF file, open this file type directly to auto downloading and installing of codec.
If converted files contains wrong symbols in:
- text metadata (album, performer, track name, etc.) or
- file name,
in Settings > Metadata > select proper value in 'CUE file encoding' list ('Local' is default value).
