Split and encode FLAC/CUE to mp3/ogg in one run.

Posted on by Ivan

flacsFew days ago i  needed to split and encode one flac file to mp3. I found few solutions, one of them only split flac file, other encode flac to mp3, but no one do not do it in one run.
So, i wrote script, you must specify flac and cue/toc files, after that script will convert flac file to group of mp3 or ogg files and will add tags.
To get this script work, you need to install next packages “cuetools”, “shntool”, “id3v2”, “vorbis-tools” and “lame”.
You will not found lame in standard repositories of squeeze, but you can install it from backports or from debian multimedia repository (all packages available in modern debian based distribution, at least I tested it in debian 8-10).
Usage: flac2mp3 -f /path/to/flac.flac -s /path/to/cue.cue
Also, you can choose between mp3 or ogg with swich -e mp3 or -e ogg (mp3 will be used by default).

Latest version of script available there: https://gist.github.com/IvanBayan/b8a1e7a1629de20b06ef6dc44843c9fe
