Split Audio into separate files based on timestamps

[Mikestriken]

Hello, I want to split a couple of long mp3 sound files into separate smaller mp3 files. I figured out how to split it based on the silence of a track using the silence finder, but I want to not have to manually go through each label checking if it's in the right place. I would rather be able to split a track based on timestamps.

for instance, I have downloaded youtube video that encompasses the entire soundtrack for Medal of Honor Pacific Assault and converted it into mp3 format:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91c5UXsn22s&ab_channel=SOVIETNIK

In the description of the video the uploader has listed all the timestamps for when each song is and provided a title for each track it needs to be split into.

Is there any way to automate this process, bonus points if you can include the title and add a prefix like "Medal of Honor Pacific Assault - *title of track*"

Is there any way to automate this process,

Yes, Audacity can import labels from a text file. See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/fil ... tml#labels

Then you can Export Multiple selecting to split and name files via label information.

I hope this helps.

Thank you, Peter.

Is there any method to switch the time into minutes : seconds format instead of just seconds?

If there is any such conversion in Audacity, I am not aware of this.

For data format conversion, I think you want to look at a spreadsheet program such as LibreOffice Calc.

For Calc, to convert from time format, e.g., 1:30.123 to seconds you could use a formula:" =B2*86400", yielding the contents of cell "B2" to 90.123. And in case you are wondering, 86400 is the number of seconds in a day, which is a "magic" number used internally by Calc.

I hope this helps.

Sadly the result is an "#VALUE!" error and it refuses to convert :/

It works for me:

It works when I manually reinput the data but after copying and pasting the data into the spreadsheet it will not work.
