With a large album file, you can use Audacity (linux) to break the filing into the songs, and label them.

IF it disappears I downloaded it and placed it in video/1_site_video.
  • Import the file, SELECT the file you just imported, goto Tools and select Regular Interval Labels.
  • Create the same number of labels as songs, and give an increment in seconds that will break up the file rather evenly.
  • This creates the divisions, Use the zoom function to adjust the dividers to the right areas, label them as you go, or after - doens't matter.
  • Select File --> Export Multiple, select a destination, and fill in the appropriate fields in the popup.
  • Hit enter and watch the magic happen.
I'm sure there is a little tweaking needed, but that is the general idea.
All that is left is running the newly created file list through TagnRename, checking everything over, and embedding the album cover into the songs.
