Splitting long audio files

[Hergest]

I have a few live audio files that I would like to split into separate tracks before burning to disk.

I thought I could use Nero Wave Editor to autodetect the track splits, but it doesn't work very well with live recordings with lots of cheering between songs.

I thought I could simply adjust the track split positions once the detection has finished, and whilst this is true, it doesn't seem possible to manually enter new track splits. Is there a way of requesting new features with Ahead?

Another really annoying thing with Wave Editor is the selection block - I frequently find the end of a recording and then want to adjust the start block, but I can't change it with the Mouse, as it always drags left->right, start->end).

I found a way of splitting tracks directly within Nero Burning ROM, but it's really slow with large files, and I don't seem to be able to store the split files back to disk.

Does anyone know of a better way to do it? Perhaps a different product?

Here's a couple more.
For MP3: http://digilander.libero.it/mega27/mp3split/
For WAV/MP3/OGG: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Great - one of the three should do quite nicely.

I'd still like to suggest some updates to Ahead Software to make Nero Wave Editor better though. Looking on the web site, I can only find a tech support form, which isn't geared up for posting suggestions.

Thanks,
Phil

Hi Hergest,

Nero's Engineers and other personnel constantly monitor this and other forums looking for customers feature suggestions and problem reports. So even if you do not get a response on a forum, your problems or feature suggestions are very likely to be reported to the proper parties at Nero without your being aware of it.

We try and keep it to one or two representatives responding in any forum, to avoid confusion. David Burg and myself are the ones who respond directly in this forum.

You can always send your suggestions to our techs at techsupport@nero.com, and they will forward your suggestions to the Engineers, as well as report any bugs found.

We do have our Web Master working diligently to make a number of improvments to our website, including providing a more obvious format for requestin future features.

You can also tell me what features or changes you would like to see in our software, and I will forward these on to the proper parties as well.

Best Regards,

Craig
