I often get mp3's as whole album files. I prefer that these files be broke down into individual songs. I have found CEP to be very effective for this task. However, it's still a bit of a tedious task with a number of mouse/keyboard clicks.
The basic procedure is as follows:
Zoom in and find the "break" between to "first" and "second" songs.
Select to beginning of file.
Cut
Paste to new file.
Switch back to album file, (now with the "first" song removed).
Zoom back out. Ready to extract next song.
My solution:
I customized the Zoom Out button to use Ctrl+Alt+z.
This macro saves me tons of time and confusion about what step and/or song I'm on.
I use $MSN$ to get the track times. Great resource!:

If anyone knows of another "better?" source for track times, Please speak up. :wink:
