Split Cue'd Apes

I have a lot of music that is the entire CD compressed to Monkey's, with a cue file, and I'd like to split it to individual files.  How can I do this?

I want to keep it as apes though, so would I convert to ape?

Yes.  Either use MAC.EXE with the CLI encoder or use foo_monkey to encode back to APE.
I'm on a horse.

Alright, is there any faster option, because I've been doing this for a few hours now, and I have maybe 30-40 more CDs to do and my 1.5Ghz Athlon just isn't doing it for me.

Why are you doing this really? There's nothing you can't do with a single file image that you could otherwise do with individual tracks. I think single file is actually more convenient. It's just a waste of time IMHO.

I have to agree with atici. If you e.g want to encode your ape image into individual mp3's, you can do that directly from foobar or ACDIR (cli).

I do not want individual MP3s, I want individual apes, and since it is already ape, it seems pointless to convert to wave and back to ape.

As to why I want to do this, my filing system makes more sense to me if I can see the title of the song in the file name when I am constructing playlists.

Of course it's your choice in the end. But all such information belongs naturally to the tags. There're many restrictions about filename characters/length (which are more stringent if you want to burn on a CD) and you can't really expect to fit all the relevant information about a track into the filename (track no, composer, artist, ...).
Any good audio player would show the tags properly so I don't see the need.

Actually I want to convert some of my lossless music encoded into individual tracks into single file.

I am sure there's a far easier and consistent way of achieving your goals without splitting your APE files. One of them could be creating APL files (APE track access files) and naming them as the title name. APL files is a way of bookmarking into a single APE file and can be replaygained/tagged. You can then play APL files under WinAmp/fb2k -- it's no different than having files for individual tracks.

I also tag my music, but when I am dragging from a folder into a Foobar window to set up some quick playlists, it's easier than opening up the entire CD and pulling only specific tracks to the main playlist window.

Either way you look at it, I just queued up a whole lot of music and let foobar "convert" my apes to apes  Should be done in around 4 hours I estimate.

Ok I edited my last post. In case you don't know APL files could solve your problem. foobar2000 would create them instantaneously.

And you can create APL files for any format if you use fb2k. So single file ripping is the way to go  Hope it works for you.
