mp3split looks like the way to go. Maybe you can install it from source?<br><br>Other than that the only things I can think of are audacity (which you already tried) and ardour. Ardour I am positive can do it but it is probably more cumbersome and complicated than audacity for this task.<br>

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. How do I do that?<br>
<br>
I tried loading it into audacity (which took 15 minutes). I figured I<br>
could select one section at a time and save it to its own file. I think<br>
I was able to select a section, but I couldn't find any "Save selection<br>
to file" option.<br>
<br>
Apparently, kubuntu hardy doesn't come with an audacity documentation<br>
package,<br>
so the help function doesn't work. I'm going to try to find it on the web.<br>
<br>
I found a utility called mp3split, but could not find a deb that would<br>
install (found one for it, but not for its library) and could not<br>
compile it from source.<br>
<br>
Normally, I would just load the whole thing, chop it down to one section<br>
and save as. In this case though, that would take around 3 hours just<br>
for repeated loading of the original file.<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
<br>
TIA<br>
<br>
Joe<br>
