mp3's recorded at a variable bit rate

I'm not sure if this was the right place to ask this question but here goes...

i have a mp3 that was recorded at a variable bit rate. when i tried to split it into segments with my file splitting program i realized this. is there a way to re record this file or change it to a fixed bit rate so i can then split it up? this has nothing to do with looking for mp3's or where to download music so no flaming please...

i did a search on this topic and nothing came up, so that's why i am asking here. thanks....

so what are you asking? the program you use won't let you split it because its a variable bitrate?(which doesn't make any sense)..

Yeah, and then you've double compressed which means losing even more data than usual.

streambox ripper...

feed ur mp3 to it and convert it to a CBR (constant bitrate)

sure it may sound slightly lossy, but its ur own fault for recording it in VBR in the first place
