Audacity (open source free) does almost anything you might want to do with
an audio file, including splitting it up. The split will not be automatic,
and you will need to set the split points, but it does work well.

Subject: splitting large audio files
Greetings all,
I have a computer set-up for live recording of my garage band. It's a
Pentium 4 3.20GHz hyper-threading rig with 2 gig ram, a 250 gig WD SATA
drive, 2 pci cards connected to (2) 8-channel microphone interface units and
xp home sp2 with a 2046mb paging file size setting (too much ??).
I'm using Adobe Audition for multi-track recording, mix-down and mastering.
When we're playing, it's easier to just let it record for the whole set
rather than stop between songs, walk across the room to the mixing console
and pc to stop recording and save each track as well as the session settings
then set it up to start recording again.
However, considering the total file size of all the tracks and session
settings can add up to over 6 gig (12gig when I forget to stop between
sets), I have a problem opening the files later for editing as it often
locks up the pc (especially the accidental 12 gig round).
I've put the question of remote operation of the pc to the PCbuild list but
I would like to know if there's a cheap (or free) solution for splitting the
large files I can't access into smaller files. The session files are small
enough to work with but the audio (wave) files are where my problem lies. I
can save the songs individually if I can access them and I think that as
long as I retain the original files, I can re-split them if the first split
should happen to cut part of a song off.
Any thoughts?
Phillip
