Music Splitter Program

Since everyone was so helpful with my Zen question, I figured that I'd ask another question.
(Actually, I would have included it in my earlier post today if I had remembered about it).

I am looking for a computer program that splits music. By this, I mean two things:

1) If I have a Broadway Recording, and the tracks bleed into each other, is there a way to merge the songs together to form one song (example--first two tracks off of Aida...one ends and the other begins and they share music.) so that it won't sound weird on the computer when one ends abruptly or starts abruptly?

2) Is there a program that works in the OPPOSITE direction and pulls songs APART? Example--I have all 10ish hours of Wall-to-Wall 2005 w/Stephen Sondheim that someone on BWW (I think Matt?) was nice enough to give to everyone here in ten chunks last year. Is there a way for me to split these chunks into individual songs so that I don't have to listen to a straight hour-plus at a time?


I figured that someone at this forum probably knows the answers to the above questions considering the fact that we all care so much about music!

Thanks for any help provided!

I have a program I downloaded off the net called mp3 trackmaker that lets me split the tracks -- you can only do two breaks per track (I have the trial version, though, so the paid for one probably lets you do more). I got it a while ago - most likely off download.com - check there. If you you can't find it, pm me.

jasonf -- I will look into the program. Thanks for the heads-up!

Mandi Moo -- You can use Windows Movie Maker on songs? I do have a PC and I think WMM came with my computer...I'll have to look at it when I'm at home. I never even thought of that option!

It's been a while since I've had to do any music editing, but "back in my day" I used Soundforge. It can be used to merge and split tracks.

Also, if you have access to an Apple, their software is really best for multi-media editing.

Yep, you just drag a song into it like you would with a video clip.

circusliz--I don't have Apple access now that I am no longer at my university, unfortunately. Then again, MACs are also better for Photoshop, but I still love it on my PC. LOL!

Mandi Moo--I will play with WMM this weekend and try it out! Thanks for the tip!

Liotte--I will look into wavepad, too. Did you find it on www.downloads.com?

Thanks for the responses!

WMM is great- you can split and combine tracks.

When you want to save an individual track, just drag it down to the "movie" and save it individually. They'll all be in WMA, but that's easy enough to convert.

re: Music Splitter Program

I am going to piggy-back a question on this --
Anyone who uses Sonic - do you know if you can edit songs using that? I can't seem to figure out how...if it's possible..

I would recomend CakeWalk. I use it to blend songs together, cut them apart, the whole bit. And it is very easy to use.

re: Music Splitter Program

Does anyone know how to do this using iMovie? Is it possible? Is so, can you post instructions or PM them?
