.Cue & .Flac Audio files. NEED HELP PLEASE!

[MarioLanza]

I have a very large .flac audio file and a .cue file that I don't know what to do with. I downloaded something that has made me be able to listen to the .flac file on WMP. What do I need to download to use the .cue file and what do I do with it?

.CUE files, are descriptor files for the program CloneCD/DVD... basically they tell the program the geometry of the IMAGE FILE named therein... should only a few KB in size... also there are many more possibilities as to which program created this CUE file, but it is definately no SOUND file...

CUE Splitter is a freeware tool that split a single big audio track, mostly an album or a compilation, into the relative individual audio tracks, using informations contained in the associated "CUE" file. Sometimes you can find a big compressed audio file (for example MP3, APE, FLAC, OGG, WAV, WMA, etc...) equipped with a small "CUE" text file that contain informations about tracks title, artist and length. Usually these couple of files are generated by programs like EAC (Exact Audio Copy), CDRW..."

Thank you kindly linney! I used that program to split them and am now listening to a very rare CD with tracks that were directly taken off of 78 RPM records recorded in 1939! Thanks again!
