If you need a program that can split
large MP3 or OGG files, look no further than
Mp3splt-gtk. What makes this program noteworthy is
the number of different ways that it offers to
determine split points inside your audio file. Here
are more notes on this program:
- Split by autodetecting silences:
you will need to provide the parameters for this
such as the threshold level to mark a "silence",
the cutpoint offset (0 is the beginning of the
silence, 1 is the end), minimum silence length
to detect, how many silences to process, and
whether to remove the silences between tracks.
It actually is quite easy and intuitive; you’ll
be on your way the first time you use this
method.
- Downloading album info from the
internet: (my favorite feature) if what
you are splitting is a commercially available
recording you can simply search for the
audio/album you want to split in the "FreeDB"
tab and select the correct match from the list
of results. Mp3splt-gtk will use the downloaded
track length information to determine the split
points, which you can then audit and/or modify
if needed in the "splitpoints" tab. This is also
a great way to import tag info into your split
files.
- Create, view, and edit splitpoints:
you can do this visually from the "player" tab
(press the play button to get your audio file to
load and play your file using the internal
player; can also use
SnackAmp
as an external player). Or you can click on the
"Splitpoints" tab and create or edit split
points there by typing in or editing time values
(by minutes, seconds, and hundred fractions).
- Split by CDDB or CUE files:
if you have access to these Mp3splt-gtk is able
to use this information for quick audio file
splitting.
- Wrapped files: can process
files created with Albumwrap or the open source
MP3Wrap (these programs can convert multiple
audio files into a single file while enabling
playing the components individually and
maintaining tag information).
- Split by fixed time segments:
also supported.
The verdict: if you
are looking for a program to split MP3 and OGG audio
files Mp3splt-gtk is one of the best free programs
out there and certainly one of the most feature-rich
and most innovative. Highly recommended!.
