Full Version: Problem cutting VBR files

I have to split some large mp3 files.
I have the correct cue file.
I use musicutter, BUT, when the files are VBR, the lenght of the splitted files are wrong. In fact the splitted mp3 is OK (sound OK, lenght OK when played), but the lenght as noted in the Tag, or in winamp is wrong (doesn't correspond with the cue file).
I think it's due to the VBR files, but I don't want to reencode in CBR, and I think I'm not the only one with this problem.
Thank you for your advices.

Rebuild the VBR headers of your files.

You can use the free (with static AD, but not spyware) program Mp3-Tag Studio
http://www.magnusbrading.com/mp3ts/
Go for
Repair mp3 / VBR header repair/add

There's always the "Fix MP3 header..." feature in foobar2000.

There used to be VBRfix as well, but www.willwap.co.uk seems to have been down for the last little while unsure.gif

You can also use mp3Trim: http://www.logiccell.com/~mp3trim/

This page at Archive.org: WAP VbrFix works, unfortunately it is very out-dated.

I have several files from the site, if you would like to get them pm me.
Perhaps we can get Roberto to host them. biggrin.gif

Thank you all for your answers.
I have used VBRHeader and it work fine. Quick and simple to use.
I notice mp3trim is able to clean mp3. Is it useful ?

Can somebody tell more on this? I tried some time ago, but unsuccessfully (maybe for the file's samplerate of 48kb)...
I will use only 1 application for listen, tag, repair and organize my audio files: foobar
Thanks

I can only host it if the author authorizes, or if there's a clausule in the license allowing redistribution.

Besides, is it better than VBRheader? I don't see much point mirroring it at RW if there's another tool doing the same already.
