Ape and Cue files

How do I turn these into individual, mp3 files!?

Well, APE is Monkey's Lossless audio, you could use something like dBPowerAmp with Blade MP3 codec (which is free unlike the one that comes with dBPowerAmp) and the Monkey's Audio codec.

Cue the index part of an image, they usually accompany a .bin file which contains the actual CD data, if it's an audio CD image you can burn it to a disc or mount it with virtual drive software like Daemon Tools and rip it to MP3 like you would any other CD. It could also be a BPM Studio cue point file, in which case I believe the format is proprietary, and I am not aware of any converters for it other than BPMStudio which doesn't appear to be cheap.

I found that site. Do you think that will work too? Or should I use it as a backup? I'm downloading the new KH OST, and it has files for both ape and cue. Are they supp, or should I stop downloads for one type?

I personally haven't used it, so I don't know what it supports, but you can certainly try it.
Even if it doesn't work, as long as you don't delete the original files you can try something else.

My way doesn't seem to work, so I'll go with your suggestions! Thanks a lot! I just wish this would DL faster...

No problem. Hopefully it works for you, if I identified the formats correctly it should.

You just have to download and install dBPowerAmp first then download and install those two codec plugins for it.
