It's possible two ways. Bear in mind I haven't tried these - I actually 
wrote code to put my individual tracks together to make complete albums 
again... otherwise I'd be messing with a thousand or so tracks.

If you can get hold of an MPEG editor, you can work directly on the 
compressed file and locate the gaps between the tracks. Cut and save to 
individual files. I've seen and used these, but you won't want to spend the 
money that our professional systems cost :) There should be some cheaper 
versions out there by now on the shareware sites.

Otherwise, decode the entire album to disc using your decoder of choice 
(e.g. mpg123) and then use a normal .wav editor to chop it up, and compress 
again. Be warned - that's going to need around 1.2-1.5G of disc space for 
the uncompressed data.

On the other hand, it can't be that difficult to find an automated 
solution...it just needs to look for a group of mpeg frames with no data in 
them...maybe someone already has such an animal?
