mp3splt rulez

I converted each of my CDs to a single FLAC file for online access and backup. See earlier post about abcde.

Here's my recipe for using ubuntu hardy to convert them into small audio files with id3-style info available, for use on my android phone or Michelle's Sansa Fuze:

• Upgrade your Sansa Fuze to the latest firmware. Settings > SystemInfo > Version should be at least V01.01.32A . If you don't have a "SystemInfo" section, I think you need to upgrade.
• sudo apt-get install mp3splt
• oggenc file.flac
• mp3splt -c file.flac.cue file.ogg

That's it. Mp3splt extracts artist, album, track information from the cue file and puts it in ogg comments, which are read by both the Sansa Fuze and the android music player.
