Everything I know about cue sheets, seamlessly trimming and playing mp3 files, I have learned it when following the long thread I was referring to in my answer to your post. When I wrote this answer I have not taken care of looking back to this thread but now I have done it and I have been both surprised and a little shoched to discover that YOU were the initiator of this thread ("Trimming an MP3 file", June 19)... So what? Everything on the whats and whys of this subject has been well and precisely explained at length in this thread, with references to places where one can find even more information if necessary . What news do you expect only 2 weeks later? >>I would rather advise you to use mp3DirectCut in your PC >> >I hate it when people assume that every PC is running Windows. > I am only assuming that every PC is able to run Windows, whether it be native, or via an emulator, or via a multiple boot setup. When somebody expects to find ready-made solutions for everything as you seem to expect, one should not deliberately eliminate the de-facto largest category of already existing software. I mentioned mp3DirectCut because it seemed to be the only existing program which is really cutting files at frame level without adding extra frames in the resulting files, and because I have personally tried it (on a VBR file) after following that thread. If there are any others which do the job under other systems or even Windows I am sincerely happy for users of these other systems or those who do not like to get a single advice when they ask for help. >>to slice your big file into small ones (easier to handle) which can >>be chained seamlessly thanks to a small playlist or an appropriate >>naming scheme. >> >I've heard some people say you cannot cut into parts that can be >played seamlessly, while some other people say you can.
