Re: Splitting a large MP3 file into tracks

Can it make the tracks into files for the output? Yes you can export each labelled section as a separate WAV file with "Export Multiple". See my previous post for details. Does waveform lose information on processing? Not if you export as WAV. Can audacity output a file of split fragments of the wh...

Re: Splitting a large MP3 file into tracks

OK so audacity has silence finder. It gives an output of a graphic with a lot of flags for silent moments. Can it make the tracks into files for the output? In the form I see it it is unwieldy for my purpose.

Re: Splitting a large MP3 file into tracks

Encoding as MP3 loses information. Most editors need to decode MP3s before they can be edited, so if you edit an MP3, then save or export as MP3, the audio has to be encoded again, which loses some sound quality.

Re: Splitting a large MP3 file into tracks

For me the "easiest way" is to select/highlight the song (or "chapter", etc.) and then File -> Export Selected Audio . Depending on what I'm doing, I might make a note of each track's starting time. I'll usually end-up trimming (and/or fading-in/fading-out, etc.) the individual tracks after separat...

Re: Splitting a large MP3 file into tracks

I'm editing my own cassette tapes converted to MP3. Audio diary and music. I might have 100 cuts to make on a tape. Use mp3DirectCut . That way you won't lose quality rewriting the MP3s as you will with Audacity. Gale When I'm installing and I get to extraction path I get access denied (invalid cha...

Where did you get the MP3 from? What's the show? Are you transferring your vinyl collection?

It's 2.1.2 the last version.

Splitting a large MP3 file into tracks

What is the easiest way to do this on audacity? Can you automate this so that you can name the tracks afterward?
