Need to chop up a large mp3 (283 megs)

[dal]

Hi all, I have a rather large audio file that I need to split up, I have tried audacity but it doesnt seem to be able to handle a audio file this big, is there anything else I could use ( preferably free ) .

Regards.

mp3 direct cut - http://mpesch3.de1.cc/mp3dc.html

i'm surprised audacity won't load the file though. i'm just testing it with my largest mp3 (only 266mb though... )

edit: well it took over 2 minutes to load. then it went "not responding" for about 10 seconds but now it's fine. maybe you weren't patient enough?

Nero has a Wave Editor.

Does a nice enough job, so if you already have it installed, give it a shot? - got to be better than filling your Pc up with more software.

audacity should be able to handle it

disable your virus scanner and give audacity some time to 'think' about it

keep task manager open so you can see the cpu usage of audacity to make sure it's still working
