Mp3splt

The Mp3splt project provides a set of an open-source digital audio splitter or cue splitter utilities to split mp3, ogg vorbis and FLAC files without decoding or recompressing. It runs on Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows operating systems. The source code for mp3splt is released under the GNU General Public License. Mp3Splt is a command line utility, but the Mp3splt project has also created a library called Libmp3splt, and a graphical user interface called Mp3splt-gtk, based on Libmp3splt and GTK+ 3.

Mp3Splt can split MP3 (VBR supported), Ogg Vorbis and native FLAC files without decoding, thus avoiding digital generation loss (see also lossless editing). It can be used to split large MP3, Ogg Vorbis and native FLAC blocks to make smaller files or to split entire albums to obtain individual tracks.

To split an album, a user can select split points and filenames manually, or can get them automatically from CDDB, or from .CUE files. It also supports automatic silence split, that can be used also to adjust cddb/cue splitpoints. Additionally, it can quickly extract tracks from the files created, either with Mp3Wrap or AlbumWrap.
