pfflamingo Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hope someone can help me here...I download mp3 podcasts, each one 1 - 3 hours long, to play on my RH-10. Talk shows, mostly, and would love to imbed 3-minute track marks after converting to ATRAC to hop over the commercials.I currently am able to do this, but only by re-recording real-time to my other RH-10 [headphone output to line-in] converting to ATRAC codec, of course, using the track-marking feature on the receiving MD recorder.Is there any other way of of imbedding track marks into an existing ATRAC file? Hopefully faster-than-realtime?[Yes, I know I could record the broadcasts as they are on the air live directly to my recorder, but I can't always "be there" to start (and stop) the recordings.]Couldn't find any other post with this issue...Thanks for any help!pfflamingo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoGeR Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I doubt there is a way with ATRAC as your source was mp3 and I would presume you converted them to atrac first before transferring. Hence, the device will not allow you to edit the tracks on your RH10.I had the similar question about splitting a long MP3 track into several "tracks" which I posted in audiotstation forum. Someone recommended MP3 Direct Cut, a freeware which I found to be excellent. I've since successfully split my long track into smaller tracks. HTH.

Sparky191 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 If it were me I'd export them to WAV, chop out the ads in CDWAVE, then reimport them into SonicStage as seperate tracks and group them together. Editing sound likes on a large high res monitor is much more efficient than on a HiMD. Trancoding them isn't going to be much of an issue with talk shows.

THIS SUCKS Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 of you use lp2 in non hi md mode and convert the files to audio cd format and use simple burner to transfer then you can manually add track marks. i have done this before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfflamingo Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Thanks so much for all your varied replies...! Seems that there may be a good option available to overcome this problem.I'll try them in order and give you my complete feedback. I have any number of audio applications [Audacity, Sound Forge, etc.] but none of them can take any audio file in any format and automatically break it up into, say, 3-minute files, sequentially naming each file. Although this would not create "track marks", at least I could still get the result I want if only the apps could do it...pfflamingo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Check out GoldWave. It's not freeware (though a fully functional trial is available I believe), but you can add markers at any set interval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
