Does anybody have any recommendations for an MP3 Splitter that can split
a large MP3 file (over 1GB) into multiple MP3's using user defined time
settings?

TIA!

MP3 Book Resizer 1.0
Freeware by Xenolith

In the following paragraphs, mp3 will stand for any MPEG-1 or 2,
Layer 1, 2, or 3 file, which covers the file extensions mp1, mp2, & mp3.

Audiobooks are typically made up of large mp3s. I wrote this program to
convert these large files into many smaller ones to make it easier to
listen to them on a portable device. I call this "resizing". I've seen
programs that split one mp3 into many or combine many into one, but I
haven't found one that lets you take any number of mp3s and resize them
into any other number of mp3s, at least without defining a bunch of cue
points. If there is such a program, hopefully this one is more
straightforward.

Resizing can be done based on time, byte size, or number of files. For
example, if you have six 10-minute mp3s, you can resize them into 20
3-minute mp3s or 10 6-minute mp3s, etc. You could also combine smaller
mp3s into a larger file; the input and output file sizes can be anything
reasonable.

The program splits mp3s on frame boundaries and ignores everything in
the input files but valid frames. All values in the time, size, and
number boxes are close estimates of the actual times, sizes, or number
of files making up the output files. It's impossible to be exact without
cutting into a frame. When resizing non-mp3 files, the output file sizes
will exactly be the number in the size field.

The output name pattern box works like this: If you want your output
(resized) files to be named The Book 001.mp3, The Book 002.mp3, etc,
then put The Book *.mp3 in the box.

This program does not write any ID3 tags to the output files because I
consider those files temporary. They should be deleted when you are done
listening, and the original files should be saved. Splitting might occur
in the middle of a word/sentence. That doesn't bother me, but I'd hate
for such files to be posted to a newsgroup.

I appreciate the suggestion but perhaps I didn't explain myself well
enough. I'm looking for an MP3 splitter that can split a large MP3 file
into smaller MP3's of *varying* sizes by *time* interval. For example,
file A might be 2:59, file B 4:32, file C 9:18, file D 1:03, etc.

TIA

If you know the time value for each file then you need a splitter that
uses a cue sheet, which would contain these time values.

Looks like a good program, but Simtel wants to download an installer
which can't be verified. Don't know why they have to complicate the process.

Thanks. I found it at SnapFiles, and wow, what a great little
utility! Guy's a software genius - the prog is only 45K!
