FFcuesplitter - FFmpeg-based audio splitter for CDDA images associated with .cue files .

FFcuesplitter is a multi-platform CUE sheet splitter entirely based on FFmpeg. Splits big audio tracks and automatically embeds tags using the information contained in the associated "CUE" sheet. It supports multiple CUE sheet encodings (via charset-normalizer) and many input formats (due to FFmpeg), including APE format, without need installing extra audio libs and packages. It has the ability to accept both files and directories as input while also working in recursive mode. It can be used either as a Python module or from the command line.

Features

• Supports many input formats, due to FFmpeg.
• Convert to Wav, Flac, Ogg, Opus, and Mp3 formats.
• Ability to copy source codec and format without re-encoding.
• Batch mode processing is also available.
• Accepts both files and directories.
• Ability to perform recursive searches.
• Ability to generate audio collection directories (Artist/Album/TrackNumber - Title)
• Auto-tag from CUE file data.
• Features automatic character set detection for CUE files (via python3-charset-normalizer).
• Ability to remove original file after conversion.
• Works on Linux, MacOs, FreeBSD, Windows.
• It can be used either as a Python module or from the command line.

• Python >=3.9
• python3-charset-normalizer
