1. What is it?
 
MP3-Slicer is used for slicing large MP3 files into smaller track lengths. This can be great for a large MP3’s you may want to burn to Audio CD but in separate smaller tracks.

At the point of making this product there were already other mp3 splitting programs out, but they didn’t support frame boundaries, meaning there was slight data loss with each split. MP3-Slicer slices on frame boundaries, leaving no ‘bleeps’ or audio data loss

2. Instructions

1.	Play the file you would like to split in your favourite MP3 player, and write down the minutes and seconds of where you would like your new smaller tracks to end.

2.	Run MP3-Slicer and select the source file for slicing.

3.	Select an output file name for new tracks (MP3-Slicer auto numbers them)

4.	Click the Split Info button and enter the times you wrote down. As you add tracks you should see them added to the list with the times you entered and a calculated track-length. 

5.	Click the Slice button to start slicing and dicing!
