how to split mp3 files

[bill-lancaster]

Can anyone give me an example?

I want to split audio files at cirtain point in time.

Thanks

Audacity can do the trick.

sudo aptitude install audacity
audacity

You do need the mp3 codecs to edit mp3's. If you can play mp3, you have the codecs.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm looking for a command line to do the job

OK, ffmpeg looks interesting, here is what I got


bill@ubuntu:~$ ffmpeg -f mp3 -i /home/bill/classic.mp3 -t 00:10:00 -ss 00:20:00 - o /home/bill/save.mp3

Any ideas?

This command should be OK:-

ffmpeg -i /home/bill/classic.mp3 -t 00:10:00 -ss 00:20:00 -acodec copy /home/bill/save.mp3

Edit
The above command should start 20 minutes in with 10 minutes duration.

Ron999 - it works a treat.
