Breaking down long FLAC files with XLD?

[B&W Driver]

Hi All!

We don't have access to a PC, so all of the following discussion pertains to macOS.

I've never done it before, but I used TextEdit to create a CUE sheet in plain text format. After some trial and error, the CUE file looks like this (please see below).

The plan is to convert the single long FLAC file that I have - which is to say one FLAC file for the entire album - into individual track files (one FLAC file for each track). I placed the CUE sheet into the same folder as the long "Bloodshot.flac" file, but when I open XLD and press the Transcode button, I end up with the (9) tracks specified in the CUE sheet, which is wonderful, but the problem is that each track ends up being a copy of the entire album. In other words, each track is created and named properly, but XLD is not using the INDEX times specified in the CUE sheet and, instead, is creating (9) copies of the original album (the one long single FLAC file for the entire album). Thank you kindly for any help with this, folks.

I use Foobar to split files (as well as to play them). You just drop the cue sheet (from the same folder) into foobar and it will load the album showing the separate tracks. You can then select "convert" to save as individual files in flac or any other format that you want.

foobar2000 for Mac is available here.
