Before you start
Select one audio file and its UTF8 CUE. FILE must match the selected name; choose how INDEX00 pregaps are assigned. Every track becomes a numbered WAV, with titles, original indexes, retained frame ranges and dropped leading/pregap frames in the complete report.
How to use this tool
- Choose matching CUE and audio files.
- Choose previous/next/discard pregap handling and inspect all source-frame mappings.
- Download numbered PCM16 WAV tracks and full JSON/CSV.
Supported inputs and limits
Exactly2 files: audio30MiB plus CUE1MiB,31MiB total; decoded float32 storage80MiB,99 tracks, complete outputs100MiB. Rate8–192kHz,1–8 channels. A budget error or cancellation rejects the whole output.
Single FILE, increasing TRACK1–99 AUDIO, TITLE/PERFORMER and INDEX00/01 at75fps; printable ASCII REM comments are retained only as opaque ignored comments. Other directives/multiple FILE/duplicate/empty/out-of-range tracks reject. Raw FLAC requires known STREAMINFO total frames, metadata≤8MiB/1000blocks, unchanged rate/depth/channels, valid frame structures and CRC8/CRC16. Ogg FLAC and unknown-size streams reject; STREAMINFO MD5 is not independently verified.
Worked example
Example input
10s/8kHz stereo recording; tracks at0,2 and5+1/75s, second INDEX00 at1+50/75s.
Example options
{"pregap":"previous"}Example output
Previous mode retains80,000 frames across3 WAVs:0–16000,16000–40107,40107–80000. Discard removes2,667 pregap frames.
When something does not work
Use single FILE with exact selected name and supported instructions. Correct indexes, unsupported FLAC headers/CRC or budgets; decoder failure is a failure, then rerun.
Frequently asked questions
Are MP3/FLAC source-format bytes preserved?
No. Outputs use actual browser PCM with round(sample×32768), clipped to[-32768,32767]. PCM16 WAV retained samples are exact; other WAV depths and browser FLAC/MP3 are quantized. MP3 priming/gapless can give different browser frame counts and ending times.
