Cutting and Splitting your Audio Books - Software
As I said, last post was a bit of a diversion but if you’ve downloaded “The Confessions of Saint Augustine” you’ll have found that even though it’s been split into ten files, each file is over an hour long.
You might want to split each file into smaller segments so that you can find each part more easily on your audio player.
A short while ago I suggested recording from the radio.
If you do this, you’ll probably get files which are not only rather long - Gilbert White’s the “Natural History of Selbourne”is over an hour for example but,
You’ll also probably have bits at the beginning and end of your recording which you don’t want.
You might like to cut off the unwanted portions of the recording - top and tail so to speak.
Soon, I’ll go through how to cut and split recordings step by step but for now, let’s go and get the free software to do the job.
You’ll need:
mp3 Direct Cut (http://mpesch3.de1.cc/mp3dc.html)
and
Slice Audio File Splitter (http://www.nch.com.au/splitter/index.html)
together with a component part
mp3el (http://www.nch.com.au/components/index.html)
(This is vital as without it, you’ll get no sound.
Details also on the Free Resources Page.
Next time, we’ll look at cutting and splitting in detail.
