liquidzoo Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Ok, back when I was in Windows, I used to have Nero for cd burning. I have found programs in Linux that I like just as much or more, but there is one feature that I really liked in Nero that I can't seem to find. The feature I'm looking for is the ability to split one large track into several smaller ones. I want to be able to do this for data cd's too, so maybe this isn't a cd burning question at all. Is there a feature in one of the cd burning apps that I haven't found that will enable me to do this? If not, does anyone know a program that is out there that will let me split, say, 1 137MB file into 27 5MB files or something like that?

fuzzylizard Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 For the purpose of what exactly? Why would you want to split the file up in the first place? I could possibly see the point if the file was, say, 900megs in size and you wanted to split it across two CD's. However, I have always found this to be a function of archiving software and not of cd burning software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardwest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Assuming you mean audio files you might want to take a look at a little prog called GramoFile. http://panic.et.tudelft.nl/~costar/gramofile/ It's aimed at people copying vinyl LPs onto CD but may do what you require.

liquidzoo Posted November 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 fuzzy - The purpose in Nero was for audio cd's. It would split one big file (like a comedy recording for example) into smaller tracks. I want to do the same thing, but for a data (mp3) cd. richard - I will look into that program. That might be close to what I'm looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another option is to use audio editing software. I realize it is probably a little advanced and definitely more cumbersome then what you are looking for, but... Here are two products that might be worth checking out: Audacity - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Rezound - http://rezound.sourceforge.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 I'm not sure if it'll do exaclty what you want, but have you looked at the command line tool split? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
