[SOLVED] Split FLAC Album file into Individual Songs (XR2 = easy / XR3 = "impossible")

[gjwAudio]

Doing this task in XR2 was easy and intuitive... XR3 refuses to comply (XRECODE 3 [32-bit] - 1.68)

INPUT: single FLAC file with corresponding CUE, containing one complete album.

Desired OUTPUT: all songs split into individual FLAC files, according to the CUE timings, with corresponding embedded tags. Should be easy...

Following steps from "Split MP3/CUE into separate tracks without transcoding" from the Tutorial section, produces nothing - no files written to the specified output path.

Perhaps you can add an obvious button to the ACTION section of the GUI.

Thanks

Did you choose "Extract" as action? If so, please use "Encode" as FLAC is loseless format and no quality will be lost when encoding FLAC to FLAC. Extract method is meant for lossy formats (such as mp3, aac).

Heh-heh... OF COURSE it works properly when you ask nicely

Thanks for the simple clarification - like brain surgery - it's easy when you know how to do it

Maybe the Tutorial could be explicit, and draw a clear distinction between the process for LOSSEY vs LOSSLESS files.

Thanks again for quick response, and awesome support !

Great. I updated mp3 tutorial and also added one for lossless files so that there's no confusion.
