How to partition MP3 files of entire CD?

rsbrux · 2007-12-31, 08:44

I have a few MP3 files which represent an entire CD each, for which I have no index files.
What software is there to help me divide these into their constituent tracks?

I think audacity has that function, long time since i used it though.

Hello rsbrux,

if you have a .cue file for your MP3 files then mp3DirectCut will automatically split your files for free.

I hope MP will support cue files in the future. That would open the way to true gapless mp3 playback.

Thanx for the responses. I have downloaded and installed Audacity and see that it would be possible, but would require a lot of hand editing. Unfortunately, I have several of these MP3 files without corresponding CUE files, so I guess MP3direccut is out. What I was hoping for was to be able to import the track list (with track times) into Audacity as labels, just fine adjust them a little to match the pauses between tracks and then have Audacity split them up and spit them out automatically. Am I missing something in my cursory study of Audacity, which would make this possible? Is there anything else out there to do this sort of thing?
