Hi,

i don't know if this can be done or not but i have an mp3 file that is just under 2hours long and its in 192kbs so is it possible to to fit this onto a CD that can be played on a standard CD player ?

no, the limit is 80 minutes on a standard cd. the bitrate is irrelevant.

Split it and put it onto 2 CDs...

if your CD player supports MP3 playback, burn it as an MP3 CD that way you will have 700mb to play with

yup

use audacity to split it into 2x 60 minute files

might take a few mins to load the file, so bear with it..

You could download a little program called "mp3splt" it's a simple little command line tool. Just type in the timestamps for where you want to split and a filename to save it to. I've used this to split radio shows that i've recorded to mp3 so I could burn them to cdrw's.
