Topic: How do I divide tracks (which free software?)

[SpareRibs]

It's been a while since I taped and I had a software deleted from my computer repairman because of an unfortunate virus about a year ago. But which free software was the one out there that enabled you to divide the file into tracks for CD?

Technically not free.  Fully functional shareware that has a free trial for 31 days, but I think a license is something like $15.  Among the best money I've ever spent on this hobby.

I've been using this for years now and I never had to pay anything or even register it.  When I open the program it does say "not registered" on the top bar, but it still works perfectly.  I wonder why that is?  But for $15.00 you are right, it is well worth it.

What does registration buy me?

In short, there is no special registered version, registering it just removes the "Unregistered" notice from the title bar and gives you a slightly different 'about' box.

So the result is a clear conscience. I decided against putting effort into a copy-protection scheme that would be defeated anyway. I dislike software with disabled features too. I feel that people that don't pay for this version wouldn't pay anyway.

That explains it.  Thanks.  I don't remember reading that, but like I said it was years ago that I downloaded it.  It is such a valuable tool that for $15.00 I think I'll register.  Better late than never, right?  Perhaps they could make a pop-up that shows up a few times after the trial period with this information.  I think they might get a lot more people registering.

I'm ashamed to say mine says unregistered, even though I thought I had paid. Best $15 I ever spent - great app.

You can also split tracks in the totally free Audacity using the "insert label" and "export multiple" functions.  If you have a Mac, CDWave is not an option.

i've been using Fission and i absolutely love it.  very, very easy.  no instructions necessary, totally intuitive, and it works extremely well.  Fission is somewhat of a one trick pony, but for splitting tracks i've found nothing that i like better.

Audacity is an option.  Although in CD alignment mode, it goes to the nearest 1/75th of a second based on an offset from the very first sample / 00:00:00.00000.  Which I don't like.  And if you just want a new track every two minutes, it's a bit overkill.  Sox is pretty useful for automated doa type discs.  It should be something that most audio applications that let you record and edit allow.  Simple and easy, well that's open to interpretation.

Is this a Mac only software?

I'm gonna say it is Mac only since their "about us" blurb makes no mention of any other OS:
