WHY is it so FUCKING HARD for you idiots to encode an MP3?
I'm sick and fucking TIRED of these stupid fucking "better formats" and "uncompressed" shit. The human ear can only tell so much on a difference.
When I find a rare album that I can not find to buy and spend a week trying to download it, I expect to listen to it right away.
BUT NO!
First I had to deal with those FUCKING FLAC FILES which I had to convert to .aiff, RE-FUCKING NAME AND TAG and THEN CONVERT TO MP3.
Now there's these cunt-swabbing .ape files! ALL I WANT IS TO LISTEN TO MY MUSIC!
Now then. If any of you know a way that I can extract this fucking .ape file on a mac with SEPARATE TRACKS and with KANJI/HIRAGANA TAGS I'd much appreciate it.
OR! if you know of a way to get it to work on a PC where the names don't get DESTROYED when i put them on my mac.
You fucking PC users and your stupid useless formats really piss me off.
And no, xACT hasn't worked so far unless you can tell me how to make it work right.
Fuck this.

blah blah superior blah blah trained musical ear blah
o ya, ape sucks because of licensing issues. I wish everyone would use Free formats so I can masturbate while compiling the latest Open Source drivers to play in my Free Software media player.

All I want are separate tracks with tags. I really don't care what format they're in. APE fails at this greatly, for the PC version crashes and the mac version only spits out on big file, which does me no fucking good.
Hell, I'd PAY for a program that could do this. Or even better, I'd pay for the god damn CDs if they were even in print anymore.

OK NOW I'M PISSED.
WHAT THE BLOODY FUCK, PEOPLE???
ALL I WANT ARE THE 7 SONGS IN THE GOD DAMN APE FILE TO BE SEPARATE FILES! IS THAT TOO FUCKING MUCH TO ASK? I DON'T CARE HOW, AND DON'T CARE WHO, BUT THIS IS SO RIDICULOUSLY FRUSTRATING THAT I WANT TO SHOOT PEOPLE!
I TRY IT ON A MAC, PROGRAM CRASHES, I TRY IT ON A PC, PROGRAM CRASHES. THE ONLY THING I CAN GET IS ONE BIG AIFF OR WAVE FILE THAT I CAN EVEN EDIT ANY FUCKING WHERE!
ALL I WANT IS THE MUSIC. THAT'S ALL I CARE ABOUT. WHY MUST THE CREATOR OF APE DESTROY ME?
Please. If any of you know a better way to split an .ape file with a .cue file that doesn't crash, please tell me. I will forward you fucking money via paypal.

I demand cake with my music! Why is that so hard?
Seriously, you half-deaf fucks need to scrape out your ears or something if you can't tell the difference between mp-shitty-3 and lossless. Next you'll be telling us how good your 5 bux earfones are.

foobar2000 can convert (ape + cue) into single mp3 tracks with Unicode tags. All you have to do is to check the file name in cue sheet. (Rename .wav to .ape)
Theres a new lossless format out. IT's called the cack format. It makes flac files sound like mp3's and its only like 5 mb bigger per song. check it out
I use FLAC files only when I want to make high quality conversions to mp3, or if I want to burn the album to CD.
Seriously, the difference between FLAC and 320kbs is completely unnoticable to the human ear, and they take up a lot less space on the hard drive.

>>32 unnoticable to the human ear,
That does not really concern me because I'm a fox and as such my hearing is much, much better than yours will ever be

Listen to spc, problem solved AND for once you'll actually be listening to real music for once, not mp3, not wannabe wave formats where you can fucking hear the stoned shithead fucking fart as he stuggles to play his shit, the shit that is programmed to play perfectly as intended and no other format can possibly play the same thing as it. Believe it, I dare you to listen to converted spcs and say it sounds exactly the same, or even half as good as native, I'll laugh so hard in your face that when I piss from such laughter I'll be doing so right down your throat with my cock in your mouth and after I finish I will break your fucking neck.
APE has sucked ass for a long time, and, years later, is beginning to have decent support--clunky support (while FLAC has had the same decent--clunky--support for years now). I wish people would use FLAC/CUE, or tagged track files. Classical music is usually encoded with the awful-to-deal-with APE format.
APE Files are quite awful to deal with on anything but Windows. FLAC gets the same quality (and may be more flexible because of its ability to encode multitrack files and arbitrary sample rates) and has had tools using it on all platforms. And, there is a lot of out-of-the-box hardware MP3 player support for FLAC. (I think APE saves a few megabytes with large files and about a minute in encoding--though it decodes about 5 minutes more slowly--but that isn't much of an advantage if you're talking about downloading and saving 300MB files.)
Having said all that, this past year has seen cross-platform tools using APE (there is an XMMS plugin, and a Mac convertor/CD ripper Max that can read/write(?) APE).
The only way to convert APE w/CUE into multiple files is to use Windows and Foobar2000, or (on Mac) convert the APE into wav/aiff, edit the CUE, then use xACT to split (or convert APE->MP3, then use cue-splitter). (On GNU/Linux, use the Java APE crap to convert to wav, then find some shntools script to split the wav.) I think only the Windows/Foobar method gets you a one-step split, converted and tagged process.
