Hi! I hope someone gives me a clue how to split one large mp3 or wav file that includes a complete cd album to separate tracks so that I can burn them to cd and select them individually. Tried with Nero wave editor, it detects tracks and then when I try to save them as separate tracks, it makes like first track and then joins the rest to one large file... I know it has to be very simple, but it looks like I am too stupid or something... I'd really apreciate any idea.
Wow, I am having trouble with this same process. I have an entire album in MP3 form and I want to burn it onto CD, but right now it is one big track. How do you separate it into tracks for an accessible CD. I agree, this has to be common practice. If anyone can help, I'd be grateful. Thanks.
I have done this before. You need to do a save as and rename the file. take the next track you want, delete what you don't want and do a save as again and name another new file.
The best and easiest way is to get a 'Mastering' program, like Sony's CD Architect (Sonic Foundry) which allows you to put markers where you want the individual tracks put in the wav file. The previous mentioned tip will also work.
Thx for suggestions. I'd do it manually like suggested, but it makes no sense. I did split it automatically once with Nero wave editor and it worked good. The same procedure with next file doesn't work, and I converted it to wav to exclude format dependencies. And it detects pauses OK and divides the file so that I can see markers, it is just when saving as individual tracks it separates only one or two trackes and the rest is joined to one large. I know the feature is there, it just doesn't work. Thx for Sony.... I'll try it soon.
I've had great success using a program that I at first downloaded as shareware only and then later purchased. "Super MP3 Recorder Professional" I needed something to take my cassette recordings of class lectures and convert them to mp3's for cd's and/or my pda. (let me know if you need to know the trick for making this work). It comes with a sound editor that lays out the tracks with a visual graph and you can visually see where the 'breaks' between tracks are and cut and paste as needed to split up a large file. I hope this helps.
Just use Sonic Foundry, import the whole file in there, then cut the bit u want, then save that, then cut the next bit, save that and so on. Or, use MusiCutter, this also works really well
I also use Sonic Foundry final and it's a kick ass program. I use it for heaps. I ripped the buffy musical and used sonic foundry to cut out the bits I wanted and also to convert to mp3. ace program and vary easy to use. you can also increase the record volume which you will need to do if you are ripping a DVD soundtrack and so much more.
