Cool, looking through the documentation I found this: ----------------------------- Cut, Copy and Paste 1. ecasound -i bigfile.wav -o part1.wav -t:60.0 2. ecasound -i bigfile.wav -y:60.0 -o part2.wav ----------------------------- I apt-get installed it and gave it a try. It seems like it doesn't quite get the timings lined up exactly right but I can live with a slight skip every 5 minutes. I can put together a script to create all the part?.mp3 I need.
