Track splitting

Postby Prez! » 01 Apr 2013, 20:38

Any decent programs out there that will split (into individual tracks) an album downloaded as one long track?

When I've needed to split a large audio file in the past, I've needed to do it manually using Audacity.

Does the file you need to split come with anything else? Sometimes you can come across an album that exists as a single MP3 or Flac file, together with a second playlist file which details individual track starts and names. Unfortunately these playlist files tend to be application specific, but if you have one it will give clues as to how to go about splitting the thing up.

To be honest, I downloaded the album from youtube, the quality isn't the best, I'd just planned to play it in the car.
