Helium allows you to split audio files into multiple tracks easily, either using a CUE file or by manually creating track divisions.
How to Split a File

Choose the audio file you wish to split and navigate to Tools > Split file.. - Add Tracks
In the window that opens, click Tracks > Add tracks to create tracks:
- Create tracks from CUE file: Loads a CUE file and automatically creates tracks with lengths defined in the file.
- Create tracks of equal lengths: Divides the file into multiple tracks with a specified length.
- Create tracks of same length: Splits the file into multiple tracks of identical length. - Edit Metadata
Once tracks are added, you can edit their metadata using the embedded Tag Editor, similar to how it's done in the Tag Editor.
