Splitting Large MP3 Mixes

[Konspiracy]

Anybody do this regularly?

I've a binload of mixes I want to play in the car and I wouldn't mind splitting them into individual tracks so I can skip back and forward without hassle

What's the best software to use?

Use Soundforge - sure you can get err hum a ropey copy on the net.

Import big file, cut where you want track 1 to end, save the cut at Track one then delete it. Do the same again where you want Track 2 to end and cut, save the track at Track 2 and so on (if you name the tracks with Title/Artist details some CDs and most PCs will bring the titles up too.

When done burn them at all to CD - IMPORTANT - save with no gap between the tracks for a continuous tracked mix. Pain in the ass to do but it works.

Same principal whatever editing software you use.

There is software where you can simply drop markers at the track change points but I can never get them to work as I want them.

Adobe audition allows markers to be set and is a great bit of software too

Likely to be a far easier way than mine if you have the software.

What Barrie said abive ^^^

If you want to burn the tracks to a CD and play with no gaps make sure you save the individual tracks as wavs. If you save them as mp3, you'll still get gaps even if you burn with no gaps between the tracks.

Cheers for the pointers, will give this a go when I get a spare moment, probably around 2019...
