MP3 Question
 

Hi, I'm new to MP3's and have a question. I ran across a couple MP3's that were entire albums. I'm trying to make a CD that is a compilation of several artists. I'm trying to mix the music up on the CD and not have too many of the same artist in order. Is there any way to split the songs up from an MP3 that has like 20 songs in it?

It depends whether the file is an albumwrap or not. See the sticky at the top of this sectin about albumwraps. There's different programs there which can separate albumwraps & also others that can separate mp3's which are not albumwraps but just a single mp3 with the entire album. If necessary you may need to use an audio editor such as Audacity. Then save them as wav files before burning.

Yep - if you are so inclined you can also directly edit the mp3 files, with a hex editor, as long as the gaps between tracks exist, they will show up as a series of zero's. Just extract segments which run between the series of zero's to a seperate file.

You then need the header from the start of the file to be grafted onto each segment you extract.

It is easier to use software as mentioned above, but if you are into mucking about and learning things, it is a an interesting exercise.
