Simple ? about slicing up MP3's.

[kobes]

Hi on my computer I have a bunch of 3 hour episodes of the radio show Opie and Anthony. Now I want to burn these on CD to listen to at work the problem is each file is about 3-4 hours long and a cd only holds 80 minutes...

....so, my question is, is there anyway I can cut each episode up to like 5 diffrent files of 80 minutes long so it will fit onto a burnable CD.
Thanks.

Simplest way would be to convert to WAV, break it and reencode back to MP3. Of course there are programs that do it directly MP3-->MP3 but its pretty much the same deal

And how do you convert MP3 file into WAV file?

You can also use VirtualDub to do MP3/WAV/cutting but that takes a bit more tinkering
