How to split image files with Exact Audio Copy and cue

1. Put the lossless image audio file and the image cue file in the same folder.

2. Decode the image audio file to a wave file.

3. Open EAC 

4. Open the menu ‘Tools’
Select ‘Split Wav by cue sheet’ then select ‘with gaps’
(hot keys Alt + T + S + G)

5. Navigate to the image wave file you just decoded and select it and then click ‘Open’.

6. EAC will ask you for a cue file. Select the image cue file that’s in the same folder and then click ‘Open’.

The image file should be processing now.
EAC will automatically make a non-compliant tracks cue named CDtitle-cutted.cue.cue in the same folder as the split audio files.

If EAC says ‘Error in cue sheet’ then open the cue sheet with a text editor and remove any folder/path information and make sure the file extension of the image audio file says ‘.wav’ in the cue file. If it doesn’t make it ‘.wav’ save the cue sheet and repeat steps 4 to 6.


If the image rip has a pregap or hidden track you can also extract it.
Follow the steps however at step 4 select ‘individual indices’ instead of ‘with gaps’. After processing you may have many files named like 

01.00 Tonight.wav
01.01 Tonight.wav
02.00 Could You Be Loved.wav
02.01 Could You Be Loved.wav

Each track is named for the track number then the index number.
The pregap/hidden file is track 1 index 00 so you want the one that starts with 01.00.
** Make sure you delete all other split files from the ‘index’ split.
