I have a couple of 'full album' MP3 files from some garage bands I follow (really!). Is there a semi automatic way to split these up into individual tracks? I didn't know if there was a standard and if there should be idv3 info for each 'track' within the entire MP3 which could be used to split the thing back apart.

AFAIK it's 1 tag per file, no tracks marked within -- there was an mp3-splitter utility on the links page at "project mayhem" ( www.hydrogenaudio.org ) but the download wasn't working the day I tried it and I can't find the link at all now. It was described as being like a WAV editor, so you'd scroll to a time point, mark, split.

I need something like this myself (or on the WAV side) for ripping all the CDs I have/own that have "secret" bonus songs on the final track, often with up to a minute of silence between them and the last listed track.
