About:
cuetools is a suite of utilities designed to manipulate and convert .cue (Cue Sheet) and .toc (Table of Contents) files, commonly used with CD and DVD images. It provides reliable parsing and conversion capabilities, allowing users to split large audio or image files into smaller tracks based on the cue data. This tool is essential for maintaining accurate metadata and structure in disc image archives.

Key Features:

Converts .cue files to .toc format and vice versa
Splits large binary files (like .bin or .wav) into individual track files
Parses and validates cue sheet syntax
Command-line interface for scripting and automation

Use Cases:

Splitting a single large .bin/.wav file into separate track files using a .cue sheet
Converting disc image metadata between .cue and .toc formats for compatibility with different burning tools
Verifying the integrity of cue sheets for audio CD archives

Alternatives:

bchunk – bchunk is a popular alternative specifically for converting .bin/.cue to .wav/cdr, but cuetools offers broader format conversion including .toc.
cdrdao – cdrdao handles disc writing and TOC manipulation natively but is heavier; cuetools is a lightweight utility focused purely on file metadata conversion.
