Use mplayer:<br><br>mplayer -i foo1.mp3 -o bar1.mp3 -s 00:00:00 -tt 00:10:00<br>mplayer -i foo.mp3 -o bar2.mp3 -s 00:10:00 -tt 00:10:00<br><br>Just keep doing this, or whip up a loop to do it. mplayer does almost anything with almost any media. You may need to tweak the command line options, but read the man for it, and it's pretty well done with examples.<br><br>Dec 26, 2008 02:35:33 AM, <a href="mailto:nflug@nflug.org" class="parsedEmail" target="_blank">nflug@nflug.org</a> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 3px solid rgb(102, 153, 204);">I have an audio version of a book in the form of one 11+ hour mp3 file.<br>This file is difficult to manage and my stand-alone player gives up<br>after about 2 hours.<br><br>I'd like to break the file into one hour chunks.
