any ideas, preferably, free ideas around it? I can play tak files with no problem and I could convert them and then split them, but I want to know if I can save the hassle from converting them because my energy levels are at the lowest and I have some work to do
cheers
Download foobar2000 and optional components (http://www.foobar2000.org/download)
foobar2000: Components Repository – TAK Decoder (http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_input_tak)
Try using that.
Load the .cue file relative to the TAK file.
You should see it gets loaded as individual tracks in FB2K and not as one long file.
Select all tracks, right-click and convert to your new format.
They also have their own encoder pack.

It’s been a long time since I’ve used TAK.
If there’s no CUE file, maybe the TAK file has embedded playlist (like APE supports embedded cue list).
the foobar alternative is so far the best but again it’d imply converting the files and ideally Id like to keep them in their original format
I believe TAK is included with the encoder pack.
