    do a google search for "Audacity"

    it may work...also do a search for the LAME DLL (lame.dll), which is the mp3 encoder

    i know it works on .wav files, and compresses to mp3 using LAME, but might be able to cut up and mp3 file

    you got ahead nero? If so the wave editor should be able to manage it (it can handle mp3 files easily!)

    the wave editor, will only do .wav's supprisingly... mp3s are highly compressed so harder to edit etc etc. easiest way to do it would be to convert to .wav (winamp has a convertor, however 4hrs in wav is gonna make a large file!!) and use something like GoldWave to edit it.... u can download a trial and crack it ( Eul Grepus does not support cracking software or any other form of piracy, including swashbuckling, burying treasure and parrot molesting :p) simply split into 4 smaller wavs and select save as mp3 :P simple simon

    or you could just do what I said as despite what evil thinks you CAN edit MP3 files with wave editor because nero has a plugin for MP3s that you DO NOT have to download because it comes with it and it is perfectly capable of splitting MP3's. If you do not believe me evil try it.
    I am also not impressed by your sarcasm and I think you should check before you assume it cannot do MP3 files.

    I've used Audacity (which is free!) to edit MP3's before, so it does work.

    One problem you might find is that some of the programs mentioned might not actually be able to load a 4hour long MP3 for editing. Of course equally they might depends on how well they been coded.

    I use Audacity to seperate the tracks on my mixes to make CDs, it works fine once you get used to it... only problem is it takes AGES to load the mp3 up (at least it does on mine, mac version), and you gotta get the split points kinda precise, especially if its a continuous mix which yours seems to be, but like I said that's just getting used to it :)
