Re: [JAWS-Users] MP3 splitter?
I think it should be worth noting here that before you go into the cue points dialog box, you'll have to place a cue point at the beginning of the audio file with control+Q, otherwise you'll receive an error when you go to split the file saying that there is no cue point at the beginning of the file. It will then refuse to split the file based on your auto cuing. Also, if you find you get this error message, just get out of the cue points dialog box, do a control+A to go to the beginning of the audio file, and place the cue point at that stage with control+Q. At that point, you can go back into the cue points dialog box, and split the file. Hope this helps.

[JAWS-Users] MP3 splitter?
Hi All. I'm looking for a program that will convert a long MP3 file, say 8 hours in to manageable segments. Would goldwave do this? I want something ideally that will detect pauses and split based on when a pause occurs so for example if i'm converting it in to half hour sections and there's a pause after 30 minutes and 3 seconds, it'll split where the pause is and not in the middle of a word. does anything like this exist and that's accessible? I don't mind using the jaws curser. Best, Mo. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] MP3 splitter?
Mo, This could easily and quickly be done with GoldWave. Goldwave will either automatically split the file into segments whose lengths you specify (regardless of what's happening at the split point) or you can manually go in and drop que points where you want the file split. This is pretty quick and easy since you can jump to any part of the file quickly. For example, if you wanted the file split up into roughly thirty minute segments, you could simply jumt to, say, 29 minutes and thirty seconds and start listening, dropping your que point during a pause or quiet part of the file. Then repeate at 59:30, 1:29:30, etc. I did this for a two and a half hour lecture series I recorded and managed to get the entire lecture split into approximately 5 minute segments in somewhat less than an hour. Another nice feature of GoldWave is that you can name your que points and tell the program to split the file at the que points and use the que point names as the split file names.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MP3 splitter?
You might consider mp3 Direct Cut. It has the advantage of not converting between .wav and .mp3 and works on the file in the native mp3 format. I believe you can get it on the Jaws-users.com page and even a tutorial. -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mobeen Iqbal Sent: Monday, May 03, 2010 11:08 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] MP3 splitter?

Re: [JAWS-Users] MP3 splitter?
Another possible option is AudioBookCutter. I have downloaded it but have not tried it yet. Someone on the Victor Reader Stream mailing list recommended it to automatically detect breaks in speech near the lengths you specify and make the splice there.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MP3 splitter?
Mo, No. If you simply use the automatic splitter, it will create X number of files of the exact length you specify and one smaller file containing the remainder. To the best of my knowledge, there is no silence detection feature. But, as I said, doing it manually is as simple as listening for a moment of silence and pressing ctrl-Q to drop a Que point.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MP3 splitter?
Yes, you can do that with Goldwave. There are also specific programs for splitting mp3's, but if you are proficient in Goldwave, just use your time filemarkers and make separte files out of the segments. - Original Message - From: Mobeen Iqbal mobeeniq...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, May 03, 2010 12:07 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] MP3 splitter?

Re: [JAWS-Users] MP3 splitter?
Yeah, there is a silence detection feature. The problem is whether you can set it to not have too many different tracks created. I'm not sure I have the latest version of Goldwav, but I suspect the following procedure still works in versions beyond my 5.52. 1. Open the mp3 file you want to split. 2. Press alt-e for the edit menu, and then you arrow to the cue points submenu. 3. On the edit cue points submenu, select AutoCue. 4. This will bring up a multi-tab control. There are two tabs, one is mark silences and the other is spacing. I can't get Jaws to move there by the traditional method, so if you are on the spacing tab, you'd need to use the Jaws cursor and left-click the mark silences tab. 5. Now, with the proper tab in focus, you can set the noise threshhold and length of silence. The threshhold default is -40DB that is minus 40DB. If you have a file with a bit more background noise, then you may need to increase the value to -30DB or so. 6. Set the length of the silence for what you need. If you for example had recorded a record album, you might have 3 seconds between songs. Other files you may have shorter silences. You may need to experiment with this setting. If you get too many cue points, you may need to lower the threshhold or increase the length of the silent period. 7. When you hit auto-cue, it will generate the cue points in that file. It will then list them. If you are satisfied, you can go back into the cue points submenu and hit the Split File button. If you need to change the settings because the results weren't satisfactory, remember to hit the option to delete all your existing cue points first, because AutoCue will preserve already-existing cue points normally.
