Newer question: Need software that works on MAC and PC that will split/join files

[hanybanoub]

Hi everyone,

I used EZ-CD creator's spin doctor to import a cool cassette tape onto my computer, but now I have a 1000 mb wav file, waaaay too large to burn a cd with.

If I can split that file into two 500 mb files I can probably burn 2 cds from it.

I may need to split it even further, probably 3 or 4 files right?

What software can I use to do this? Free software is preferred of course

Can anyone help me please?

cheers

many thanks sean2002 I'm using it at this very moment.

CHEERS

unfortuantly sean2002 this program created 2 files, that aren't playable too well.

Windows Media Player only reads part 1 up to a certain point, then says the format is invalid.

Part 2 is completely unreadable, and Nero doesn't even recognize it as a WAV file.

Can anyone please help?

just use HJsplit (http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/)
You can set how big you want each piece to be. It will add a .001/.002 to the extension- but I've found all files play fine when split this way, so you could just delete the extra extension.

Plus it's free

Thanks joinT I'll try it

I'm afraid I'm having the same problem as before joinT

man, that sucks - whenever I clicked the file by accident & then opened it - it would play.
Though I haven't used it since moving to XP - got a Win2K box to try it on? Also, how was the mp3 made?

Well if free includes WAREZ i like Sound Forge 5. Its a pro editor and mixer.

...SoundForge will do what you want...see if they have a demo.

 

[hanybanoub]

joinT, the music file is a massive WAV one, imported onto the PC using SBlive! card sound-in and EZ creator's SPIN DOCTOR. I could try it w/ a W2K box, but it may be easier to try a demo of SoundForge like Need4Speed suggests.

apemaninfintiy, I won't use a WAREZ version, perhaps as Need4Speed suggests there is a demo-thanks

Otherwise I could restart w/ Spin Doctor again and limit the imported file to 500 MB or so, but it's a lot of work to sit in front of it and wait.

Guys I'm very grateful for your input and ideas

You could do it with GoldWave. I don't have a link for it right now, but it has a free trial period.
With a file that large, you might be waiting a while for the swap file if you don't have gobs of system memory.

Thanks for your thoughts and help guys. Soundforge demo worked well

Does anyone know of a file splitter that has a Windows and MAC version?

I'm trying to split a file to email to my friend, who has a MAC, and we need software that will split/join on both sides.

Anyone?
