Split Audio Files
mp3splt-gtk can be used to split either mp3s or oggs. This is the GUI version of mp3splt which splits the large file at selected splitpoints. The splitpoints are given in time units. This can be a little difficult to use and you may find it easier to load the file into Audacity and split it, but mp3splt is a lot faster.
Open mp3split-gtk and browse to find the file to be split.
Click on Connect which will open a small audio player so that you can listen to find the splitpoints.
Play the file in the Player tab. Click Pause the player when you are ready to set a split point. Then click “Add” on the Mp3splt window. You will most likely want to slide the slider back to the very beginning for this first point.
Click on the Splitpoints tab and you will see “description here” for the filename and 0 time if you have added the first splitpoint at the beginning. Change the name to your choice for the first file. Do not add the .ogg or .mp3 extension.
Start the player again and find the place where you want the first file to end. You can first move the slider to a point approximately where you want the split and then start the player to listen. Pause the player and add another splitpoint when you have found the correct place by listening. Add other splitpoints in the same way.
Note that you will need an ending splitpoint which may be at the end of the file. You can see the total time for the file in the Player tab. In the screenshot, it is 7min 5 sec. This can be added in the Splitpoints tab by putting the time in the appropriate blocks and clicking on Add. Another way to do this is to slide the slider to the end on the Player tab and click Add. Now the last time appears at the bottom after the 3 tracks we have labeled.
Set the directory for the split files to go in under the Preferences tab. Then click on the green check mark and the file will be split with the parts saved in the chosen directory.

Welcome to LinuxBasics.org - The online community that helps people to get Linux installed and running.
During this tour, we will guide you through our website, which has many facets which wait to be explored
The biggest project we are running is our Linux course, based on the LBook.
The book is stored in wiki-format, which enables us to update and correct it as we go.
Discussion for the course is on our Forum
Our Forum is used for discussion of Linux and for questions and answers.
Search the mailing-list that was used prior to the Forum.
The questions and answers from the list are stored in the list's archives in order to help others with the same problems.
Every weekend, we meet to chat in IRC. These meetings are NOT mandatory, but are a nice chance to get to know each other better.
IRC is also a great tool to solve many problems, since it is very quick and easy to ask for more details if you need them.
The tutorials are one of the oldest sections on the LBo-website.
Here you find explanations on how to do specific tasks in Linux. Many of the tutorials were created after a certain problem
has been discussed (and usually solved :) on the mailing-list.
The tutorials are categorized in
In the links section, you find outbound links to other valuable resources.
One of our later additions to the site. We maintain a mirror of the Linux Documentation Project. This is our contribution to the "home of the HOWTOs"
Another later addition is the LBlog which focuses on how to do stuff on the Linux Desktop. It begins with the basics on installing Ubuntu.
Using the integrated site-search, you can search the tutorials, the LBook and all other wiki-pages

As a community, we depend on your feedback and collaboration. So, if you have something to share with others, please contact us. If you have a suggestion for a topic you would like to see covered here, please add it on the Wishlist.
There are many ways to contribute: You can answer questions on the Forum, you can write a complete tutorial or just a step-by-step documentation on how you completed a specific task using linux. Ask questions if the information on this site is not clear, tell us if we got something wrong, spell-check our writings, whatever.
We are looking forward to meeting you at LinuxBasics.org
