How accurate are the cuts?

To the nearest MPEG frame, which is about 26 ms at 44.1 kHz. That's the price of not re-encoding: a stream copy can only cut where a frame starts. For gapless live albums where a 26 ms shift matters, split from a FLAC source instead — that path re-encodes and cuts on the exact sample.

A small text file that lists a disc's tracks and where each one begins in a single long audio file. Rippers like EAC and dBpoweramp write one alongside the album when you rip a CD as one file. It contains no audio itself — it is only the map.

Which CUE dialects work?

The common ones. We read TRACK nn AUDIO, TITLE "...", PERFORMER "..." and INDEX 01 mm:ss:ff, which is what EAC, foobar2000, Burrrn and CUERipper all emit. INDEX 00 (pre-gap) is ignored, so tracks start at their INDEX 01 point.

Do the split files keep the album name?

No. Each track gets its own title, its performer and its track number from the sheet, but not the album title — the header lines above the first TRACK are not applied. Add the album in the MP3 Tag Editor afterwards if you need it.

Why did my file get rejected?

The usual causes are a file that isn't an MP3 (the page checks the extension before uploading, and the server checks the file's leading bytes), a sheet with no parseable TRACK lines, cue times that run past the end of the audio, or track start times that don't increase. Each comes back as a message naming the problem rather than a generic failure.

100 MB of audio, a CUE sheet up to 64 KB, at most 200 tracks per sheet, and 10 splits a minute from one IP address. Real albums are well inside all of those — a 200-track sheet is almost always a malformed file.

What if the CUE was written for a different file?

The preview compares the sheet against the actual length of the audio you dropped and flags tracks that start past the end, before you spend an upload on it. The server refuses the same case outright.

Split MP3 with CUE sheet

Slice a single album into individual tracks

One long MP3 and a .cue sheet go in; a track per cue point comes out. The MP3 is stream-copied rather than re-encoded, so the audio, bitrate and encoder are exactly the ones you started with.

Step-by-step guide

How to use this tool

01
Upload the MP3
A single file holding the whole album, side or DJ mix. Up to 100 MB.
02
Upload the CUE
A standalone .cue from EAC, foobar2000, Burrrn or similar. We read TRACK, TITLE, PERFORMER and INDEX 01 lines; REM comments and everything else are ignored.
03
Check the track list first
The sheet is parsed in your browser before anything uploads, and the preview shows every track with its start time and computed length, checked against the real duration of your audio.
04
Split and download
The server slices at the cue points and returns a ZIP. The page unpacks it in the browser too, so you can grab one track without a ZIP utility.

Key features

Why use this tool

Stream-copied, not re-encoded

MPEG frames are copied straight across at frame boundaries. There is no decode and no encode, so the output is the same audio data at the same bitrate — a lossy file is not made lossier.

Tracks come out tagged

Each file gets the title and performer from its TRACK block plus its track number, so the split album drops straight into a library instead of showing twelve copies of the same name.

Bad sheets are caught, not shipped

Cue points that run past the end of the audio, or that go backwards, used to produce a 200 and a ZIP full of unplayable stubs. They are now a plain error naming the offending track — checked in the browser before upload and again on the server.

DJ mix friendly

Works the same on a two-hour continuous mix as on a CD rip, as long as the sheet has an INDEX 01 per track.

Common use cases

Who this tool is for

Album rippers

Turn a single-file rip from EAC or dBpoweramp into individual playable tracks.

DJ mix archiving

Cut a recorded live mix into per-song files for cataloguing and setlist export.

Radio shows

Split a recorded episode into segments at the cue points you noted while listening.

Questions answered

Frequently asked questions

The audio is unchanged. MP3 frames are stream-copied, so bitrate, encoder and sample data are all preserved exactly — there is no decode/encode round trip and no generation loss. That is not the same as sample-accurate cutting; see the next question.
