I have recorded an MP3 audio stream track that is 1hr 9 mins long it plays fine on WMP, however, when I try to skip through the track i.e point and click on the progress bar down the bottom, nothing happens, and eventually it restarts again?

Is there anyway I can divide the track in to segments?

Hmm, actually you can use Replay Media Splitter (http://www.applian.com/replay-media-splitter/index.php) to do this.

If you don't mind my asking, what program did you use to make the recordings?

Thanks for your kind reply Stream Ripper.

I used Replay Music (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-audio-stream/Replay-Music-record-any-web-radio-station-or-streaming-music-service.htm) to make the recording, I must say I am a novice when it comes to MP3 splitting, could you advise how I go about doing this? I would like to split the MP3 into segments so I can put it on my ipod and skip various tracks. What is the best way to do this?

Do you want me to send you the file to see how I could go about doing this?

This usually happens with ASF (WMA) streams. You can make ASF files seekable (http://all-streaming-media.com/repair-broken-media/fix-broken-windows-media.htm).

You may cut/split MP3 files losslessly using freeware MP3DirectCut (http://all-streaming-media.com/edit-audio-video/MP3DirectCut-free-MP3-editor-Cut-copy-paste-change-volume.htm). You may also use freeware Audacity (http://all-streaming-media.com/edit-audio-video/Audacity-free-sound-editor-Windows-Linux-MacOSX.htm) sound editor.

Replay Music (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-audio-stream/Replay-Music-record-any-web-radio-station-or-streaming-music-service.htm) splits and tags tracks automatically. The only problem is that there should be no song overlaps so that Replay Music can identify the end of a song.

Thanks for the information I will check out the links later on tonight and have a tinker around.

The file I recorded was a radio stream RADIO 1 (uk) live in Ibiza, lots of talking over the songs and the general hyping of the audience. I think my best bet might be to

a: Make it seekable using the software links you gave me

b:Use the MP3directorcut link you gave me to go through and see if I can cut the speaking out.

Do you think the Reply splitter will be able to determine the end of each song on this particuar radio broadcast? if so should I give it a shot?

BBC Radio 1 offer Windows Media, Flash Video and Real Media streams. Your file is not seekable, so most probably it is a WMA file. MP3DirectCut (http://all-streaming-media.com/edit-audio-video/MP3DirectCut-free-MP3-editor-Cut-copy-paste-change-volume.htm) can only cut MP3 files.


Replay Media Splitter allows you to split Windows Media files, but AFAIK it can't find the end of the song.


Replay Music (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-audio-stream/Replay-Music-record-any-web-radio-station-or-streaming-music-service.htm) records from your sound card to MP3 and WAV, so you shouldn't have any problems fast forwarding such recordings. You might have used Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm) or Replay AV (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-AV-capture-Streaming-Video-Audio-Radio-Shows-Online-TV-Broadcasts-Video-Clips-Audio-Archives-Podcasts-Free-to-try.htm) when downloading your stream.
