King Johns guide to splitting audio tracks

You may have one large audio sound track, perhaps you recorded some old copyright free vinyl records, you played the original and now have one large recording 60 min long music file. You can use Nero to split up the large track into separate single tracks, which will then work as normal on a CD player.

In this example I have taken a single audio track of 2:37.03 long, this is just to show you the function, your audio track maybe 59:30:10 seconds long, a full CD!

Start Nero and select Audio CD, pickup your large audio file and drop it into Nero's window. This can be any of the audio file types, from cda, aif, aiff, wma, vqf, AAC MP4, MP3 or WAV. Naturally Nero should have the necessary plug-ins to support all those formats.
