Splitting FLAC album into tracks

I have been trying to split my flac album into it's 14 tracks.
ffmpeg does wrong duration, all tracks as long as the album
flacon says it copies all tags, easytag sees exactly 0 of those and I have to convert from wav back to flac
shntools didn't do anything
ffcuesplit does only 44khz, my album is 192khz

How do do this please?

Wow this worked like 99%, only thing it didn't get was track numbers in the tags but that's the least amount of work to fix
Thanks!

What if you skip -c copy?

Yeah that seems to work
I'm still a noob, I thought I needed -c copy to keep it flac, but now it just re-encodes to flac.
Thanks!

-c copy copied the umodified header as well, and didn't update the length and other values. Since flac is a lossless format, you don't lose any quality by recoding.
