FLAC + CUE sheet, how?

I have been wanting to encode my music to a single FLAC file with an external cue sheet, but how does one burn the cue sheet on the copy of the cd in order to get the tracks to be split up? I'm so lost on that part. I've encoded, I have my humongous FLAC file, and the tiny little cue, but I don't know what to do from there.

Do you want to burn the flac and cue onto a data cd for backup, or do you want to burn an audio cd from your flac and cue?

If you want to burn an audio cd, decode the flac to wav then point nero to the cue.

I'd like to burn it to audio, but I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say "point nero to the cue". Please forgive my lack of knowledge

Best to use EAC or Burrrn. With EAC you need to decode the flac file to wav before you burn (unless you use autoflac)
With Burrn you would need to edit the cuesheet to .flac filenames instead of .wav filenames.

There was a gem in Ross1's comments. I am doing exactly what you are doing (Single FLAC file+cue sheet) and AutoFLAC is the way to create those files in the first place. It doesn't surprise me that it can also burn the files (probably with Nero as a backend). You can also do it in Foobar with the right plugin and Nero.

If it helps, those cue sheets can be dragged into Foobar and you will see all your individual tracks. True gapless playback too!

I think EAC can burn a cue sheet. I'm sure if you google, ye shall find. Make sure to decode that flac to wav first.
