Convert FLAC to MP3 and split it to individual tracks using CUE file.

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is a very popular open format for lossless compression of audio data. Along with APE, ALAC, WavPack and WMA Lossless, this format is praised among music fans. Despite all its advantages, the format has one significant drawback - its size. A copy of audio disk converted to FLAC takes about 400-500 Mb – not too much for a modern PC, but still a bit weighty for mobile devices. Here you can learn how to convert quickly files from FLAC to more lightweight MP3.
