MP3 Splitter Basic - split MP3 files into smaller pieces in three steps

Click the button to select the MP3 or CUE file you'd like to split, or just simply drag & drop the file to MP3 Splitter window.

MP3 Splitter supports to load track information from a CUE file as well as load a MP3 file directly. If loaded successfully, the information (such as title, artist, album, length) of the MP3 will be shown in MP3 information box.

For CUE file, all tracks will be automatically added in the split list as well as track information (title, performer).

You can leverage both the slider bar and the playback functions (play, pause, fast forward) to quickly get to the time points you'd like to cut at.

For more advanced ways, please refer "Advance Way to Locate, Update Split Points"

If you want to split to equal segments, please refer "Split to Equal Segments"

Tips:
- You can enlarge the dialog window to view more information of the tracks you've added in the split list on the screen at one time, and to be could be much convenient to move the slider bar. 
- You can save your current work at any time to a CUE file and load it back later (please note that the overlap setting of tracks can not be saved to the CUE file).

MP3 Splitter can split MP3 to equal segments either by time or number of segments. To split MP3 to equal segment, please click 'Split Special'->'Split to Equal Segments'.

First, please choose the range to apply: split the whole MP3 or only the selected track to equal time segments. Then set the segment # or time you'd like to split.

Click 'OK' when done, tracks will automatically be added to the split list according to your settings.

'Backward Overlap' means add overlap against its previous track (add the last few seconds of its previous track to the beginning of this track, e.g. 00:00 - 10:00, 9:55 - 15:00). 'Forward  Overlap' means add overlap against its next track (append the first few seconds of its next track to the end of the track, e.g. 10:00 - 15:00, 14:55 - 20:00).

To set overlap, please click 'Split Special'->'Split with Overlap'.

First, please choose the range to apply: apply overlap to the whole MP3 or only the selected track. Then set backward or forward overlap time value.

Click 'OK' when done If you select the track which has overlap, 'FW overlapped' or 'BW overlapped' will be shown in the track information (above the split list box). You can also view the overlap information by dragging to the end of tracks in the split list.

MP3 Splitter uses 'Auto. Detect' mode by default, which will analysis the MP3 file you just loaded and then automatically select the best split mode for you.

If you just want to quickly split to some smaller pieces without much concern about the precision of the split point, please select 'Fast Split Mode'.

MP3 Splitter provides several many useful ways to help you to locate/update the split time points easily and quickly:

1. You can use following keys to change the time value or move the slider bar more easily:
Arrow Up/Down: move backward/forward by one STEP unit
Page Up/Down: move backward/forward by one PAGE unit

By click the small button right near the time value box, you can set the STEP & PAGE size in milliseconds.

2. Following playback control can be used to help you to locate the split point easily and quickly:
    : Fast Forward, it provides two playback speed mode - x2, x4
    : Play 2 seconds before / after the current position of the slider bar

3. Following controls can be used to quickly set / update the start and end time position of the selected track:
      : Set / Update the BEGIN or END time of the selected track to the current time value
     : Set the LENGTH of the selected track, much like 'set end' but you can specify the length directly and no need to count the end time.

By default, the naming rule is "%F-%S".

You can use following wildcards (case-sensitive) combined with any text characters in ID3 tag field for the generated split tracks:
  - %S: Sequence number of tracks in the split list
  - %M: Album of track
  - %K: Track number (Track# in ID3 tag)

For example, if you want the 'Title' of each track could automatically include the track number, you can append '%K' in 'Title' field; or if you want to name 'Track' automatically, you can fill '%S' in the 'Track' field.
