Hi everybody,

My friend recorded a concert on the radio it s a great quality only probem it s made of a huge 4h track.
I was listening to it in my car when i realize it would ge great if i could find a software that would cut the song automatically every 4min (for example).
It drove me crazy when , by mistake, i ejected the cd i was at the 74th min… i tried to go back to it by pressing the fastforward button but gave up after 2min(i was at approximatively 6th min ? )
I know i could do so wiht a software like cooledit but i dont feel like doing it for the whole 4hours… image how long it would take me…
any advice?
thanks a lot :

I like Audacity , but you’ll also need to download LAME .

Audacity is a good tool.  However, correct me if im wrong but I don’t remember it having a utility to automatically cut a waveform into 4 min chunks.  I think it would probably be easier to go with one of the plethora of media splitter/joiner programs.

it aint a wav file but a MP3 file… don t know if it changes anything…
what s a “plethora of media splitter/joiner programs” ?
thanks

Ok, then what the hell program was I thinking of…?

Just search google for something like “mp3 splitter”.  My quick search came up with this:

http://www.ezsoftmagic.com/mp3splitter.htm

But theres probably like a dozen other shareware apps that do the same thing.

I use soundforge, it does it all

i always use windows movie maker ;import audio and trim and save as new file. i think it’s the simplest.

can those softwares mentionned above splip my mp3 song automatically every 4min?

One big flaw with using all those audio editors (Soundforge, Windows Media, etc) is they all reencode after they’re done with their operation, degrading the music quality even more.  A plain media cutter just cuts the files, and then appends the appropriate mpeg-style meta data at the ends.  Heck, screw MP3, go FLAC .

So its like a photo editor,too. keep save jpg over and over degrade their quaity.
