Full Version: Adding chapters to a Audio CD. Long mp3, no cue.

Hi there,

I've tried using the search function but mp3, cue and CD are all less than 4 letters so my results were not conclusive.

I record my Uni lectures onto a laptop hard drive as audio mp3 files via a microphone. I've now got a large collection of long mp3 files of around 48 to 65 minute in length which I would like to burn to CD for storage and listening to in the car.

What I would like to do is burn the audio CDs with say 1min30sec chapter points.

I have no cue sheets for the mp3 files obviously.

I've tried physically splitting the mp3s up but I then get little gaps if the 1min30 break is mid word.

I have some mix CDs which while playing without any breaks in the sound, I can jump to chapter points and this would be an ideal solution.

Is there a way of either burning an audio CD from a long mp3 file, inserting 1min30 chapter points (I have nero 6) along the way or creat a cue sheet from scratch with 1min30sec break points which i would the use to burn the CD?

Thanks for any help.

I forgot to mention.

I'm running XP.

Thanks again.

Follow some links in the Links section of Cuesheet Heaven. You can easily create your own cue sheets with Notepad or CueMaster.

Here is a template that can be used with Notepad:

CODE
TITLE "Lecture 1 (2005-12-04)"
PERFORMER "Lecturer X"
FILE "Lecture 1.mp3" MP3
 TRACK 01 AUDIO
   TITLE "Chapter 01"
   INDEX 01 00:00:00
 TRACK 02 AUDIO
   TITLE "Chapter 02"
   INDEX 01 01:30:00
 TRACK 03 AUDIO
   TITLE "Chapter 03"
   INDEX 01 03:00:00
 TRACK 04 AUDIO
   TITLE "Chapter 04"
   INDEX 01 04:30:00

...etc, until you come to the last track:

 TRACK 34 AUDIO
   TITLE "Chapter 34"
   INDEX 01 49:30:00
(Press only the enter key after the previous line. This last line must be empty.)

- The last two digits in the time values are not 1/100 s fractions, they are 1/75 s (coming from the Audio CD frames).
