I have this 24 minute recording of tracks on MP3 but it is all in one big recording.
Does anyone have a suggestion of a software I can use to cut the songs into single tracks and break this recording apart? THANKS FOR ANY HELP! -------------  "Only the sun knew why"

Cool Edit should do the job. There's also another one called "Sonic Foundry". Just remember to download all the patches in order to be able to work with an mp3 file. If not, You'll have to convert the mp3 to wav, cut it as wav, export every chunk as wav, and then convert the wav to mp3. DbPoweramp does this, along with thousand of applications of the sort... errr... żGOOGLE?... ------------- ĦBeware of the Bee! |

| It is physically impossible to "splice" one of anything into several other things. You might want to check the definition of the word splice. |

Cool Edit is nowadays known as Adobe Audition. ------------- When people get lost in thought it's often because it's unfamiliar territory. |

| I downloaded some great free software for doing this. I transferred an old cassette of one of my band's gigs onto 1 MP3 file, then used this software to clean up the crackles, add a bit of EQ and split it into individual songs. Only problem is I can't remember what it's called and I'm at work at the moment. PM me if you want to know. |

Maybe Audacity works for this purpose. It's free. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ |

| WavePad is the software I used. Couldn't be easier to split MP3 files. And it's free. |

| I don't think any of these pieces of software will split MP3 files. They will all convert to WAV, split it, and then reconvert to MP3 hence losing quality. MP3DirectCut will do it directly, as will foobar2000, although neither are the easiest pieces of software in the world to use. |

All of the above products that I am familiar with WILL split MP3 files.
You just open the file up and cut and paste etc... |

| WavePad has a button called "Split file into two at this point" so you just play your MP3 file up to the right point, stop then click this button - hey presto you now have 2 files. You can then save them in a variety of formats. Couldn't be simpler. |

It certainly looks like this to use it, but it's probably actually doing it this way. Why? Because it does the same thing if you do any other process to an MP3 file, and I can guarantee that it's not possible to do any processing directly to MP3 except split them or change the level by a discrete and quite large amount. So the majority of audio editing software will convert MP3 to wave before doing anything to it. I guess I was wrong about WaveLab though! |

Thanks, Goose I now realise that you are correct (certainly that is the way that Nero seems to do it) however I dont think that TLC would be that troubled by this "loss in quality" as he justs wants to split the files regardless.
