Unless you have 700M of clear hard drive space free,
(or ten megs per minute of running time),
do not even read the following...

You "could" convert the MP3(s) back to a WAV file(s).
It is then a very simple process to "split" the WAV file into
as many small parts, (exactly where you want), using a small
($15-20) shareware program from: (www.cdwave.com)
AKA as of DEC
http://www.homepages.hetnet.nl/~mjmlooijmans/cdwave
It will number the "splits" for you.
Warning: Split in an empty directory.
Last time I got it, it was a full version, (send in the money
if you like it trial)...  I had minor trouble, but YMMV.
