splitting MP3 files
Hi,
a couple of years ago i put all of my vinyl onto minidisc, and now i want to convert these to MP3. No problem with getting the music into my new iMac (USB line in adaptor running under OS9 - why oh why won't OS X support USB line in/out?), except it comes in as a single MP3 file covering 74 minutes of music.
Anyone know of a good cheap MP3 splitter program? there seem to be many for PCs, but none that I can find for the iMac. I did try using iMovie as you can splt soundtracks, only i couldn't find a way to export the splits.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
David

Check out <a href="http://www.mCode.de/edit/" target="_blank">mEdit</a>. It allows you to edit mp3 files without decoding them first. You should be able to simply crop each song into a separate file.
Hope this helps,

I did upgrade to QT Pro recently - now why didn't I think of that?!?! Perhaps because I'm new to macs?
And is just me, but is the lack of line-in support under OS X really dumb? I mean, if the iMac really is the 'digital hub' then a line in/out is a necessity. My old PC was hooked up to my amp for decent sound, and it is frustrating that my iMac can't do it (unless I run OS9 and use a USB line in/out converter).
