If you want to split an entire/full album (ape, flac or wav) into tracks from a cue file, here's what you need:

The files:
.ape (monkeys' audio), or
.flac, or
.wav and
the cue file

The apps:
mac (mac-port, monkey's audio decoder/encoder)
flac
mad
lame
vorbis-tools
k3b (encode, mp3, vorbis, flac flags on)

If you have an ape file you have to decode it with mac:
Code:
mac file.ape file.wav -d


Same with flac:
Code:
flac -d file.flac


The cue file must contain this line:
Code:
FILE "file.wav" WAVE


In k3b:
New audio cd project and drag the cue file; if you want
- an audio cd click "burn" and check "on the fly";
- just the image (wav traks) click "burn" and check "only create image";
- to encode the tracks click the button next to "burn" ("covert audio tracks...") and choose the file type (flac/ogg/mp3) and the "configure plugin" button next to "filetype".

The mac-port homepage http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac-port/ is not working, if anyone needs it I have the binary.

Have a look at media-sound/shntool, it's a great suite of tools for dealing with (lossless) audio files. For example, to split CDImage.ape + CDImage.cue and (re)encode to flac, I use the following:

shnsplit -f CDImage.cue -t "%p - %a - %n - %t" -o 'flac flac --best - -o %f' CDImage.ape

It will produce something like:

Artist - Album - 01 - Title.flac
Artist - Album - 02 - Title.flac
...

You'll need the appropriate tools for the codecs installed, i.e. the mac binary to deal with ape files etc..

HTH,
