Subject: Re: [linux-audio-user] Suggestions needed for editing application

In windows "cdwave" is great for splitting up big wave files; I've used
it to slice up live concerts on DAT for cd editing. I'm new to linux
too so I don't know of an equivalent. cdwave isn't free but its
something like $15 (I bought a copy). You can graphically see the
audio, play, pause, drop marker, move marker, play from marker, etc.
When you get all your markers set the way you want you can export a
cuelist for the "DAO" windows burning software, or it will make a series
of .wav files for you.

I don't have any experience with Wine, but I'll bet it works, its a
fairly simple program. There is a trial version (30 day unlimited? not
sure) of cdwave so you can check it out if you'd like.

If you try this route (cdwave + wine) drop me a note and let me know how
it goes.

good luck!
Jesse
