Hi,
I have a large number of albums that I have downloaded as a single large MP3 file. Is there any (preferably free) software that can automatically split the file into the individual songs? Even better, can such a program access an online database and tag the files correctly with song titles etc? (If not, suggest someone makes a fortune designing one!)
Thanks,
Nick

Thanks very much
I've installed Audacity and loaded up an album - but I can't see anything that could help split the file into songs automatically or corrcty name them from an online database. I can see a split function if you manually find the breaks yourself - is that what you meant? There's lots of programs that can edit audio, but I was looking for a more automated process... Thanks, Nick
Hi, I did the same thing. Audicity is too powerful for this task. MP3DirectCut doesn't actually load the file into the software so it is there very quickly and it is very intuitive to use. I can chop a single album file into tracks, normalise it and add tags in about 5 minutes at most.
