Audacity will open the mp3 file and let you split it. I don't think it will ask you do convert to wav. Remember that exporting an mp3 to mp3 will, possibly, lower the quality a bit, so if your saved files don't sound the same, that's why. You've encoded the file twice, essentially. I don't know of a better way to do this, unfortunately, but I'm sure Google will have suggestions. > On Nov 28, 2015, at 2:00 PM, erik burggraaf <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, Audacity will work for this.
