FFcuesplitter - FFmpeg based audio splitter for audio CD images supplied with .cue sheet 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 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. Can be used both as a Python module and from command line.
