I have a few MP3s of music mixes about an hour long. I want to be able to split them up into the individual tracks so I can create gaplessmix albums for my ipod showing the individual tracks with names etc.

Obviously I could use a general audio editor like Soundforge and save the split segments with added tag info but this would mean the editor encoding and re-encoding.

Which editors can I use that operate directly on the MP3 without encoding?

I'd also like to be able to name/tag the segments before splitting them so that when I perform the split function it saves them as a series of files fully tagged etc, if possible.

Thanks

MP3 DirectCut will do it nicely. You can set cut points and rename the segments then save the splits with tags. It only does Id3 V1 tags, however any tag editor can copy that to V2 if your player needs them.

OK thanks. I just checked that out. Is there a tutorial on it anywhere? The manual isn't all that detailed. It looks like you select a Start and an End point and then save the segment after altering tag details. That's pretty good but I'd really like to be able to set multiple cut points and do all the slicing in one go - is that possible or is there another app that does that?

Thanks again.

You can set the 'Begin' and 'End' at the same point and click 'Cut' That creates a cue point. Then go to Edit -> Names and part properties... and name the segment. After you have all your cues and names set up go to File -> Save split... and answer a few more questions and you should be golden.

PS, you might look at VideoHelp or Doom9 for a guide.
