It would be interesting to find something which splits large flac/ape
files before converting to mp3, and parses .cue files for track names
and inserts them as ID tags into mp3 files.

I hear sysutils/bchunk can split ape files into separate tracks but
how do I feed track names to ffmpeg/sox/whatever to be included as mp3
ID tags?
