The latest version of my cue+wav splitter supports .flac files. Hope to
get it released this weekend. Will eventually be at:

www.lameb.fsnet.co.uk

It also supports .shn and .ape. I've seen shorten compress a whole CD over
100MB larger than flac! That's not useful when you're trying to fit
multiple cue+wav onto one data CD. And .ape, well it's written by one
fella that won't release his source. I don't want CDs full of .ape files
that I can't get at in a future OS :( I already can't under FreeBSD. I
just put support in there for Windows weenies :) that don't look that far.
  Flac rocks. The biggest bugbear for me is the speed, but I know that's a
lot of work to sort.
  Later.

this looks interesting... I'm not too familiar with
cue sheets but is there a use for a FLAC metadata
block with the cue information?  should be pretty
simple to add.

the FLAC metadata system is extensible this way:

Nice idea to have the cue data stored within the flac file. However,
software that can write a CD from a cue+wav combination; CDRWIN & EAC;
will require both the .CUE and .WAV file to exist. Thus it's probably
better to just keep it in the two files. It's also esaier to modify track
titles etc., with the text .cue file.
  Cheers.
