Install the following programmes:
Linux Terminal $: sudo apt-get install cuetools shntool flac
Split the audio file in the following manner, required commandline first followed by an example:
Linux Terminal $: cuebreakpoints file.cue | shnsplit -o flac file.flac cuebreakpoints Skyscraper.flac.cue | shnsplit -o flac Skyscraper.flac
