Hello everyone.
I have an interesting problem. I'm a big fan of audio books. Recently I purchased a cheap CD walkman that supports MP3. It's mostly for use in the car (I plug it into my tape deck with one of those tape adapters), but I'll also use it while walking. I bought it to listen to audio books, some of which I get from audible.com in MP3 format. The problem I'm having is, the files are roughly 70 minutes in length each. If I drive for 30 minutes, I have to shut off the MP3 player. There is no hold or resume feature. When I start the player back up, it can take a good 3-5 minutes to fast forward to my last position, depending on where I was, obviously.
What I'd like to do is cut/split the files myself before I burn them onto my CD-RW. If make file1.mp3 into file1a, b, c, d, e...mpg, it will be easier for me to resume my last position.
Are there any programs that do this? I'm running RH9 w/Gnome. I prefer a graphical program, even if it's a front end to a command line program. But, I can certainly use a command line program if there's nothing else out there.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
