CNET Editors' review
Medieval CUE splitter is an easy-to-use tool for breaking long audio files into smaller, songlike chunks. It has a simple layout and fast results; its only drawback is the rare CUE file format it uses.
The program's interface is nothing spectacular; in fact, it looks and feels rather sterile. However, its commands are clearly marked, and we had no difficulty navigating it or understanding its controls. This program's biggest problem is that it doesn't support every audio format. While it's compatible with MP3, WAV, and other popular formats, these files need to have a CUE text file embedded within them to work with Medieval CUE splitter. These are more commonly found in long files, such as entire concerts. Once we'd located the appropriate files, the program split the file automatically in a matter of seconds. We were left with a file that was divided equally and that felt much more like the songs on a traditional album. Medieval CUE splitter is flush with special features, though many won't appeal to casual users. However, audiophiles will love the program's ability to adjust specifications such as volume and bit rate. Even though we were disappointed it couldn't work on all audio files, this still seemed like a great program.
Medieval CUE splitter is a freeware. It comes as a compressed file and installs desktop icons without permission. We didn't like the CUE file's limitations, but we thought the program still worked well, and we recommend it.
Publisher's Description
From Enfis The Paladin:
CUE Splitter is a freeware tool that split a single big audio track, mostly an album or a compilation, into the relative individual audio tracks, using information contained in the associated CUE file. Sometimes you can find a big compressed audio file (for example MP3, APE, FLAC, OGG, WAV, WMA, etc...) equipped with a small CUE text file that contain information about tracks title, artist, and length. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.

"The CNET editor doesn't know what he's talking about"
Version: Medieval CUE Splitter 1.2
Pros
Free and just works
Cons
User need to know what cue files are, sometime people put in wrong file names or not altering the cue file, after converting wav to flac, resulting in manual correction required in the file name line in cue.
Summary
The software does NOT require cue to be embedded in certain formats, it ALWAYS takes separate files.
With the cue file in notepad, the following line must be correct:
FILE "file name" WAVE
Only file name above need to be correct, along with the extension. The WAVE tag cannot be altered, it does not stand for WAV file, it is how cue was defined. -
