A friend recently recorded a file that has several songs in a single wav file. Now, using either Nero or Veritas, I want to record this cd and break this 62 minute wav file into several tracks. Does anyone know how to do this without manually breaking up the file in an audio editor? I know the exact seconds where the breaks should be and all that, I just can’t figure out how to get the program to put the track breaks throughout. ---

You will need to convert the entire file to Mp3 and then find an [Mp3 splitter](http://www.download.com/3120-20-0.html?qt=mp3+splitter&tg=dl-20). These are applications that will let you break down audio files (and usually other media formats) manually from cue points. Most are shareware programs but there are a few that are freeware. ---

Cool, thank you. I’ll have to look into that tonight.
