Mo, This could easily and quickly be done with GoldWave. Goldwave will either automatically split the file into segments whose lengths you specify (regardless of what's happening at the split point) or you can manually go in and drop que points where you want the file split. This is pretty quick and easy since you can jump to any part of the file quickly. For example, if you wanted the file split up into roughly thirty minute segments, you could simply jumt to, say, 29 minutes and thirty seconds and start listening, dropping your que point during a pause or quiet part of the file. Then repeate at 59:30, 1:29:30, etc.
I did this for a two and a half hour lecture series I recorded and managed to get the entire lecture split into approximately 5 minute segments in somewhat less than an hour. Another nice feature of GoldWave is that you can name your que points and tell the program to split the file at the que points and use the que point names as the split file names.

Hi All. I'm looking for a program that will convert a long MP3 file, say 8 hours in to manageable segments. Would goldwave do this? I want something ideally that will detect pauses and split based on when a pause occurs so for example if i'm converting it in to half hour sections and there's a pause after 30 minutes and 3 seconds, it'll split where the pause is and not in the middle of a word. does anything like this exist and that's accessible? I don't mind using the jaws curser. Best, Mo.
