I have an album on MP3 format.

It is saved as one large MP3.

When I burn it to CD as a CD using nero it comes out as one track.

How can I split it back to it's original state? Ideas anyone?

you need soundforge, or somesuch audio editing app, few hours work depending on the speed of you/your computer.

what album is it? and do you have the orignal?

Sound like its been recorded as a single track to MP3. All I can suggest is to rerecord it into seperate MP3 files(tracks) ie MP3 to MP3. What is the record might be able to help.

theres a program called goldwave that i used a while back. it was free IIRC. I used it to mess around with sounds, chop up mp3's + wavs, could even change fequencies and speeds. was quite good fun when I did the sound effects for a local panto...

-oh yes i did!!

I've not tried it myself but who knows, it may work.

Sounds like an Albumwrap Mp3 off of Kazaa or somesuch and whatever way you do it it'll take some work.
Let me know what the album is and i'll post you a copy (if Ive got it that is.)
Cheers,

Same goes for me....

You never know

What is it then mate?

And don't say the Spice Girls.

Yeah from WinMX.com much better than Kazzaa. No adverts. No pop ups every two minutes.... millions of users online... etc much recommended.

Don't want to tell you what the album was for fear of ridicule.... however they did sell absolutely millions and millions of albums.... I prefered the dark hiared one myself. Wasn't much into blonds. Having said that, all four of them look like dodgey porn stars looking back.

SO it's Abba.

Over to anyone with Abba albums...

Mac. thanks for that. I'll give it a try.

Just let us know what it is. youve got a fair chance from 3500 albums

Do you want to borrow a gun Vince.

Let us know what it is, did a few copies of them for my daughter a few months back.

Then it already has a soundtrack splitter in it. transfer the track to the burn window, then double click on it and click on the index's and split tab. let it run thro the track, then put the splits in by clicking where the silent spots are and clicking split. when its done click on split or ok the it will apear in the burn window with how ever many tracks you split it into. Not that i do many of these of course.

you may be able to find a .cue file to go with it, if so you can burn it with fireburner and it will go onto the cd as as an album with all the songs split as they should be.
itll usually have the same file name as the mp3 but is a .cue.

Well you learn something new every day been using Nero for years never knew it had a built in splitter.

Well done kitlooney

Hi

Some thing worth knowing about mp3s, if you listen to CDs that are continually mixed mainly dance music or some pink floyed (or so I am told) and others.

The mp3 file format does not support gapless play back as it has fixed frame size (unlike ogg). Each file/track is split in to a number of frames witch if the track end haf way through the frame the encoder still puts the rest of the frame there but fills it with no sound. This it what produces the momentary pauses in play back.

However you can work around this by encoding the hole CD as one track and then using a program like audio caterlist to split the lager file in to a number of smaller ones. This splitting process will only occur at the frame breaks (and hence there will be no padding in any of the frames).

If you using this technique to can get virtual gapless play back.
