Hi guys,I have a single WAV file,and I wanna spilt it into mutli tracks,but there is no cuesheet.What program can do this?foobar,EAC,or what?
thanks.
Actually a text editor like notepad will do the trick, assuming you know where (when) you want your index markers to be.

There are links to other useful applications near the bottom.
thank you.
the markers should be accurate,and it can't be that if I do this manually.
the wiki mentions foobar in the "create" section,but no detail.how can I do it in foobar?

foobar2000's cuesheet creator plug-in can not automagically split a single file into multiple tracks.
It can only create a cuesheet for tracks that are already separate.
Your choices are
- Manually split the file (either by physical editing, or entering your own split points)
- A program that will guess the split points by silence detection
- A program that will split according to a downloaded cuesheet
- Use the original CD
When a cue sheet is generated properly, the CD is scanned for much more than just track boundaries. The only way to scan for all the other info is to put the original CD in your drive and generate a cue sheet from it with a program designed for the task (like a CD ripper).
If you don't have the original CD, the best you can do is try to locate track boundary info in a public database like freedb or MusicBrainz, and use it to construct a rudimentary cue sheet containing only TRACK and INDEX 01 commands. The CueMaster program that was suggested can help with this. There's also a website called Cuesheet Heaven which offers a similar search-freedb-and-generate-a-cuesheet service.
The resulting cue sheet will have track boundaries, and maybe that's all you need, but bear in mind that it's likely to be different from one generated from the original CD. The public databases were designed to support showing metadata in media players, not for helping people make copies of CDs; they simply don't contain a lot of the info that would normally be scanned for when generating a proper cue sheet, such as info about gaps & other indexes, copyright & pre-emphasis flags, UPC, ISRCs, and CD-TEXT. There's also always the chance that you'll search and won't find your particular pressing at all, in which case, resorting to a silence-based search or just editing track boundaries by hand might be better. There's a free program called Wave Repair which can do both, and Exact Audio Copy's own "Process WAV" function can be used for the latter, although neither of program is all that easy to use for this purpose.
Ok,I guess I'd better locate the split points by myself,it's gonna be a hard job...
thanks guys,these suggestions are helpful.really appreciate.
From http://cuemaster.org/ (http://cuemaster.org/):
If FreeDB doesn't have trackdata for the CD, you can try the unique MP3 scanning feature. It will automatically search through a large MP3 file to find split-points and uses them to recreate a new cue sheet.

The EAC wav editor also has a generate cue sheet function that will detect tracks as well as the means for you to make adjustments if and where they are needed. Yes, a cue sheet made from one of the FreeDB cue generating sites may be wrong however there is also a good chance it will be the right one or at least acceptable. Combined with the editing functions of EAC you can make a cue sheet in very short time.
I've tried cuemaster,but it seems to scan to look for a build-in cue info.
and EAC,it says it's not a 44.1 stardard .wav

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned CD Wave (http://www.cdwave.com) yet. Its fundamental purpose is to locate track boundaries in a long WAV file and then split it into separate files or write out a cue sheet. You can either place the split points manually or have CD Wave attempt to find them automatically and then amend any that it's got wrong/missed. (My program Wave Repair includes features that will do much the same thing, although it's not as straightforward to use as CD Wave).

However, it does allow you to be more accurate, unless CD Wave has changed since I last saw it. I use Wave Repair, and would recommend it. It allows you to place the cue points precisely, and on sector boundaries.

To be fair it should be pointed out that CD Wave also places cue points on sector boundaries.
A brief summary of differences:
- CD Wave is easier to use
- CD Wave handles a wider range of sample rates/bit depths
- Wave Repair allows you to zoom in as much as you like for accuracy
- Wave Repair can place index as well as track cue points
- Wave Repair is free (when used as a track splitter)
