How do I cut music tracks?(I have 1 big mp3 and a .cue file)

[djnickname]

I just got a big mp3 but I wanna cut the tracks out of it ... it has a cue file with it but I dont wanna burn it yet so what software do I need to cut it?

You need some type of audio editor.

The simplest way would be to make a huge wave, and use sound recorder. Get to the end of a track, delete all after it, then save that part, and make each song that way. Which sucks but you don't need any progs for it.

If you have something like cakewalk it'd be a cakewalk...heheh.

I used to have a program that does the job.. I just had to open the .cue file in it and it gave me the option then to cut the tracks..

Oh, that'd be pretty nice. There's probably a number of ways to do it better than I said...that's just what I do though.

It isn't for the .cue file, only the mp3 file, so you might have to burn the big mp3 to a cdr (or cd-rw so we don't waste one), then take the big mp3 into MP3DirectCut, then make your tracks, then burn to cdr.

Or, you can mount the image using Alcohol 120%, then load the big mp3 from a virtual ldrive...

I found a program that is perfect
