Please Assist: Decompressing A .WV File

Hi 

I've got a "CDImage.wv" file along with a "...(WAV).CUE" &  a "...(WV).CUE" file.
[I'm familiar with decompressing a Monkey's Audio .ape file into a wav, and then using EAC to split the wav into separate tracks using a cue sheet, however figuring out this wavpack stuff has been way over my head... ]

So, after downloading WavPack v4.31, I double click wvunpack.exe. Next, a command window appears for a spit second and then vanishes. In reading the user documentation [http://www.wavpack.com/wavpack_doc.html] I don't really follow what I'm supposed to do.
I've attempted to enter "WVUNPACK [-options]
  • infile[.wv]|- [
  • outfile[.wav]|outpath|-]" in a command line, and then variations on that using the full path of the .wv file, but they all end in pop-up error messages.

    Lil help?
    Utterly clueless & noobish over here with this one, so go easy on me.

    Thanks in advance for any feedback.

If you don't want to mess with the command line, use foobar2000, with it you can decompress to a single WAV file or several WAV's using your cuesheet.

One of the things I'm planning to add is sample/example command lines for basic operations... 

If wvunpack.exe is in your path and you are in the folder with your file, you should be able to just type "wvunpack CDImage" to get the .wav file. The square brackets in the command examples indicate things that are optional, so you can usually omit them.

There is also a nice frontend for WavPack available that's not as integrated as Monkey's, but still very usable:

Hope this helps...

1) For the CLI-uninitiated like myself, that should come in handy. 

2) Success. 

3) It did - thanks David.

Thanks for the reply, skelly831.
Seeing as how I use Foobar regularly and it'd kill two birds with one stone, I'd be interested in using this method.
For future reference, can you either briefly describe the process or at least point me to some instructions on the web?

TIA.

Go to run -> type command -> press enter -> find wvunpack.exe [[-options]] ... etc. No hassle no fuss . It's all in your hands compared to the GUI IMO.
