A simple editor for chopping big audio files [SOLVED]
Hi,
I've got an audio player which can't very well remember exactly where the sound track was stopped yesterday 
. With big files (audiobooks) it isn't nice. Is there an editor which in a couple of clicks can make a number of small files out of a big one, giving the small files reasonable sortable names?

audacity will do what you want to do, and a lot more. It is very full-featured.

Looks like it allows me to cut the track wherever I please, point it... I don't want to point. What I want is to cut the file blindly, into twenty equal parts, say. Is it possible?

I'm sorry, but I don't know...
I only use it for simple editing...
For instance, if a singer does a medley of 3 songs on YouTube, I download and convert the video to an MP3. Then I split the MP3 into the 3 different songs... and edit out any audience noise in between.
Maybe something is "out there" to do it more quickly and automaticly than the steps that I take, but I don't know what it is.

If the file is something that GPAC can read (like m4a), you can use the split or splits command with mp4box. split will break up the file as close to certain time intervals as it can, the splits command will do the same with size. Not all files that if can read will work though.
