+## Split
+
+Splitting media files is format-specific.
+
+Many audio formats can be split
+with the package shntool and appropriate helper tools,
+e.g. like this for a FLAC file with CUE file for splicing hints:
+
+	shnsplit -o flac -f CUE_FILE.cue FLAC_FILE.flac
+
+For many other formats, including video content,
+splitting can be done using the [copy] parameter to FFMpeg.
