Part 1. What is FLAC CUE File?

What is FLAC CUE file?

FLAC is the well known lossless audio codec, which lets you backup CDs with quality loss. When you rip CD to FLAC or download a FLAC album online, you will get a large single FLAC image file, which includes FLAC tracks, and CUE file that contains the markers and tracklist.

However, the CUE file may get you into trouble like the friend saying:

"I recently received a flac-formatted audio music file. It came along with a separate flac.cue file and a .cue file. I'm not certain what the .cue file is, but the flac.cue file lists all the tracking cues for the main flac file. With some converting tools I can convert the FLAC to any other format with no problem, but I need to split it up into individual tracks and can't seem to find a way to do this. If I burn only the .flac file, then I'll end up with a 60 minute CD with no tracking cues. Is there any way to incorporate the flac.cue file into the CD so that I can see the tracks listed when I insert the CD into a player?"

Wow, a long story about FLAC CUE file.

Of course, there is a great way to solve the problem.

The CUE file is the index file associated with FLAC file, if there is no CUE file, it can't select the song when playing FLAC file. Open the CUE file with Notepad program, you will find that it records the singers of entire album in FLAC files, album name, FLAC file name, track number, each track title, artist, start time and end time. Thus it is so important for you when you want to burn CD with the FLAC file.

For fixing it, you need the powerful FLAC CUE Splitter software, which splits one big album .flac file which contains multiple tracks up into individual tracks via .cue file and then save as each individual song/music.
