The trap, Windows users never think about the users of other Operating systems.

I've downloaded a .ape file, Sure I didn't know this before the download completed.

Now what ? a bit of googling showed me that this is a monkey audio format or whatever it's called.

You can use foobar 2000 to play it, It'll run under wine but I don't like the idea.

I've found a plugin for xmms and bmp but I still don't like it.

During my search I've found an application called nrg2iso It converts nero format to iso. Not bad but this is a side effect of googling ;-)

This page is very good.

Looks like there's something called cue2wav that can solve it but the page seems down or whatever. I think more details are available here!

Anyway, It looks like shntool is the solution. I had to get the mac SDK and a patch to compile the "mac" binary.

Anyway I failed to build the SDK and I'm using the linux port to get a wav. Now that I have a wav let's split it. The guy was nice to include a "cue" sheet so let's get a list of breakpoints:

cuebreakpoints foo.cue
3:29.56
8:13.37
13:43.38
23:07.40
32:03.08
34:56.09
39:28.47
45:06.34
49:30.71
54:25.68
59:14.67

Then we can feed them to shntool and split the file. shntool split foo.wav "it'll read the split points from stdin!".
