Split cue.flac

Hi

I got two albums as one single file, named album.cue.flac. Foobar 2000 is able to play it but the problem is that for each track the names of all the tracks on the album are displayed. Actually I have never before seen Flac files with integrated cues - One Cue file and one flac file yes but never this.  Does anybody know how I can "repair" the problem or convert this files to cue + flac format ? I have tried to edit the names of each individual track but it does not work, I can't save individual title-field-values or individual songs.

TIA

if foobar gets the single titles, it should be able extract the tracks via diskwriter, shouldn´t it? But I also didn´t see this yet :-/

use metaflac to extract the cue file, with a command like this:
Code: [Select]
metaflac --export-cuesheet-to=cuesheetfile filename.flac
Or you could use foobar2000 diskwriter to convert each track to a single flac file!

Make sure you have the latest fb2k.

If it doesn't help, you can try editing the "cuesheet" tag.

Thanks, I was able to extract the cuesheet-file. Now  have two more questions.

How can I remove (not export) the cuesheet information from the original file ?
What is the best way or program to edit the artist, title etc. tags ? Is there a GUI for Metaflac ?  It seems to be a bit complicated with fb2k.

Regards

I actually dont know how to remove the cuesheet information from the flac file.
The must be an easier sollution than decode to wav and encode to flac again!

Regarding how to edit tags.
I only use foobar2000 myself, so I have no experience from any other program. I think fb2k is easy, but I guess thats simply because I am used to it! 

I know of now GUI for metaflac, so I think you can forget it for this tasks.

Hmm, I just used metaflac --remove-all on the flac-file - Title, Tracks are now all in a seperate cue file. The strange thing : Changing tracks is often delayed several seconds - anybody got any clue why this is so ?  Are there any metadata-values whose absence could produce such an effect ? If I use the cue-file with the original-flac file ( I kept a backup copy) everything is fine.

I just found out the reason why seeking was slow after --remove-all ; I also deleted the seektable-metadata - if I only delete the cuefile-metadate everything is fine. Thanks for your help !
