CUE sheet Splitter, based on shntool and cuetools libraries.

Pysplitcue - CUE sheet splitter, based on shntool and cuetools libraries.

Pysplitcue is a stupid wrapper for the shntool and cuetools libraries. It splits big audio tracks using informations contained in the associated "CUE" sheet file and can automatically handle files encoded other than UTF-8 and ASCII encodings without modifying the source files.

Note: there are also other alternatives to pysplitcue:

• deflacue
• flacon

• Supported output formats: FLAC, APE, WAV, WavPack, OGG or MP3
• Auto-tag is supported only for FLAC, MP3, OGG formats

Requires

• Python >=3.6
• chardet (The Universal Character Encoding Detector)
• shntool (includes shnsplit)
• cuetools (includes cuebreakpoints, cueconvert, cueprint, cuetag)

Optionals

• flac
• lame
• vorbis-tools (includes oggenc, oggdec)
