It is often the case that we want to split an “one-piece” audio recording into smaller files. A live concert could be broken down into songs so that you can burn it on a CD, or an interview can be separated into thematic sections. Whatever the case, here are four different ways to do it:

I have used Mp3splt which works well and is very useful for batch renaming. I use it to tidy up my Radio 4Xtra downloads and rearrange them to use on my mp3 player in the car.

Audacity works very well. I've used it for allsorts of things and it is very straightforward.

I've used Audacity in both Linux and Windows for some time now.

Some of the public address amplifiers I deal with use mp2 files for their sound signals and Audacity does not work well with them for some reason.

I spoke to an engineer at TOA UK about this problem and he introduced me to Wavosaur which is similar to Audacity but in my experience is a lot more stable and reliable than Audacity.

Unfortunately Wavosaur only works with Windows or with WINE in Linux.

Shame that Wavosaur is a MS product only as you can run it as a stand alone from a usb stick.

Came across this you might like Flop's as it runs well on Mint apparently,
