Default Splitting MP3 files for smaller size?

I would really like a scriptable method to split files automatically.
Maybe go through all of the *.mp3 files in "stuff". Any that are under
10 minutes move to "otherstuff". Any that are over 15 minutes split
into numbered versions in "otherstuff".


Does anyone know of a tool that I can use to this end?


http://mp3splt.sourceforge.net/mp3splt_page/home.php
mentioned here
http://stommel.tamu.edu/~baum/linux-music.html#split

mp3splt -t 15.0 bigfile.mp3

would be the commandline I think to split into 15 minute chunks. You
wouldn't have to use the GUI if you didn't want to I imagine. If you
don't need the GUI, you wouldn't need mp3splt-gtk.


Thanks! I may do my audio stuff at home on a PC but I've worked command
line forever at work. Scriptable wins for me.

It's available for Windows, mac, and linux it
seems. http://mp3splt.sourceforge.net/mp3sp.../downloads.php


Wonderful. I'm on vacation for a bit, will download and try it out next
week.
