MP3PO is a file-splitting software that helps break long audio files into more manageable units based on time, filesize, or silence. However, it may not assist in naming with many splitters opting to leave the original file name unchanged.
One of the advantages of these compressed audio formats is their ease of use on computers, but they can present challenges when used with portable devices and boomboxes. For example, my Kenwood MP3 car stereo is top-of-the-line, but I have encountered several issues. First, it is difficult to fast-forward to a specific location in a file, especially for longer files like audio books. Second, without renaming the files, the stereo tends to play them in a random order, causing frustration for users.
One of the most challenging aspects of using MP3 and WMA files is locating specific points within longer audio files. For audiobooks, for example, the files may be hours long and finding a specific location can be frustrating. Even high-end home stereo systems that boast MP3 playback do not always allow for fast-forwarding to specific parts of a file. My car audio system is also slow when it comes to finding audio segments, requiring me to hold the advance button for several minutes to skip ahead.
Despite these challenges, I still find MP3 and WMA files to be an essential tool for storing and playing audio files. For example, online provider Audible offers a huge library of audiobooks for monthly subscription. With a few extra steps, these native Audible files can be turned into MP3 files that can be split up for easier listening. Overall, I recommend this file format for anyone looking to store and play audio files.
