So I'm currently digitizing my records. This is easy to do for CDs. I got myself a dvd drive and just rip them to flac files on my computer. Tagging is easy too pulling the data from music brainz. Vinyl records are a little bit of a different story though because for each side of a record I get one long audio file. Splitting up the files to individual tracks is a very tedious process. I'm currently doing that manually with audacity and then exporting them to flac files.

Does anyone have an idea to do that more easily? Maybe even automate parts of the process. After all music brainz has all the track lenghts available. So in theory it should be possible to automate this to some degree.

Any ideas are welcome. Thank you.

@honk Do you also have cue files created/can you create them? If yes, you can use something like Flacon on Linux or CUETools on Windows.

what would be the best method of getting cue files though. Because just creating them myself by hand would be just as tedious as just splitting the files myself.

@honk ah, I see
