Questions / Re: Managing single file .flac files with .cue file providing track breakdown

Thanks for the previous thread links. Yes, I think I will use Musicbee to do the splitting, or CUEtools if I find using an external program somehow makes the process easier/more convenient.
I did give MediaHuman AudioConverter a quick try - the separated tracks seemed to have a slightly lower volume, but that may have just been perceived.
I guess I simply want to get things right the first time, so I don't have to revisit the task again in 10 years time.
Should I go back and re-split the single file Flac cue files that I did with Medieval splitter 5+ years ago? Probably won't have time, but it is a good thing that I kept the original single file (and why I will continue to keep the original single file).
So when I started this thread I was thinking of putting the 'extracted' single files into a subfolder that MB ignores. I think what I will do now is instead put the cue related files into a subfolder that MB ignores purely for the purpose of keeping it. Hopefully there will not be a reason for me to have to refer to it again, but one never knows.
Summary: single tracks will allow full access externally from Windows file explorer while providing better MB track level tagging.
