Apparently I am smoking crack. Damn. You have me very interested since I edit a lot of mp3s. What would you use to split the file?

I use soundforge 5.0 Slow but effective. For example, on my 1.4 GHz p3 dell, it takes about 9 minutes to open a 9Mb mp3 (by comparison a 9 Mb .wav file will open in about 10 seconds-ish). I am assuming that the time involved includes the decompression to be able to edit. I could be on crack, though. I am by far no where near an expert, just a hack. I have sf5 if you want it.

Is this true? What about variable bit-rate MP3s?
