I have a long mp3 containing multiple songs (mixed together; there ISN'T any space between individual songs, they just "blend" together when one ends and the second starts).

Is there some software that I can use that would automatically split this mp3 into multiple mp3s, one per file?

I have done a similar thing for wave files a while back, which relied on detecting beats, and flagging regions where the beats changed for splitting. However, it was terribly hacky, which is why I'm trying to find a better solution.

As long as it works, I don't care about the OS.

  • If songs blend and there is no silence between them, there is no way to "automatically" split them, it has to be done manually.

  • @Moab: yes there is. You detect the beats and see where they differ. I have done a similar thing for wave files, but I'd rather find a more to professional solution if there is one; I'd rather not have to code this myself

  • then you better re-word your question and title and include more info, because as it stands it is a duplicate.

There is a package in Gentoo called media-sound/poc that has a binary called mp3cut(1). It has worked for me in the past. This package also has a mp3cue(1) which does what you ask for.

If you are looking for something that analyzes the sound and tries to make a guess on where to cut, then unfortunately I don't know any software that does this.
