before killing this post, please note that yes i do realize that there probably were numerous posts on this or similar subject and yes i tried finding what i need and just couldn't!

anyways, i need a progy to slice up an mp3 file into smaller mp3s based on a cue file because I need to burn these mp3s as data.

anybody care to lead me in the right direction?

peace!

Amateurs! That's not the way.

Splicing up several large mp3-files in Soundforge would make me go crazy.
Here's the true way:
Open your mp3file in winamp, switch to the output mode to filewriter. (preferences -> output -> Nullsoft Diskwriter), push play and winamp will dump a large wavefile to your harddrive. Make sure repeat is turned off!
Modify your cuefile to point to your new very large .wav file, which is raw audio. Then you load the cuesheet into Daemon-tools, so that your cue/wav set is accesible as a cd-drive. Then you launch your favourite
CD-Ripper, and rip that virtual-cd to whatever format you prefer!

Takes a long time, a little effort, but it's worth it in the end.

If you're good at linux/unix there's hundreds of ways to do this more efficiently, but you'll need to be a good shell scripter (and be able to make an iso-image and mount it as a loopback device, then use some form of parsing of this mounted iso eg. a console-cdripper).

or alternatively just open the mp3 in cooledit pro 2.

there is no need to about with waveout on winamp, takes too long.

and there is also a little prog that cuts mp3s in the software section of the main page..

mp3cutter is crap.

Use mp3Trim Pro. It's a good programme to do what you need to.
