Can't foobar2000 split FLAC files into chapters somehow? I thought I had seen something like that...
Understandable!

Yes foobar2000 can split based on cue sheet, it's just such a pain to manually create a cue sheet. The cue sheet isn't complex just the conversion of milliseconds to frames is a little time consuming.

Actually an option to output a cue sheet from eac3to would take all the pain away.

Performer, title and track names aren't really important since we need to tag the resultant flac anyway. "FEATURE" , "FEATURE ARTIST" and chapter numbers for track names would suffice.

If you don't see value in it, I'll right a program to convert your chapter files to cue sheets.

Thanks,
Jeff
