Although it looks like the rdmarkerset would be the slickest way to do this, we had a similar problem with our news and solved it before rdmarkerset was around (or at least before I knew about it). So I have been using mp3split for this for a few years now. The good thing about mp3split is that you can have it look for a silence point within a specified window, then even tell it where to make the cut in that silence region. It comes in handy for us because our news provider is very sloppy about this edit point, I think we might be their only subscriber attempting this edit.

In our case I have this all written to a shell script that eventually imports it using rdimport command line that is called from "cron". Unfortunately I have a few other downloaded programs that also don't play nice with automated downloads listed in our cron table as well (at least I eventually got one of those providers to change there ways after they had other clients complain at which time they became interested in my proposal for how they could fix it), like having files referenced by "volume" and "issue" numbers instead of embedded dates in the names, or having a non-standard authentication procedure.

I just did a test on mp3split
# mp3split -t 3.00 filename.mp3
and it makes a new shorter piece of audio 3 minutes long.
There are other ways you can split it if it detects silence at a point
in the audio.
Many thanks
Geoff
