history

Project history and usage

mp3splt is the command-line part of the Mp3Splt Project, a suite for splitting MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and native FLAC files by time range or splitpoint without decoding. The project names Matteo Trotta as author and main maintainer and Alexandru Munteanu as maintainer. Its official pages divide the project into libmp3splt, the mp3splt CLI, and the mp3splt-gtk graphical frontend.

Project history

The tool's technical role is lossless segmentation of compressed audio. It can split large files into tracks, use splitpoints from CDDB, local XMCD/CDDB files, or CUE sheets, detect silence, trim by silence, handle Mp3Wrap and AlbumWrap files, preserve or write MP3 ID3 tags, and process Ogg Vorbis comments. libmp3splt became the reusable engine behind the CLI and GUI, with API documentation describing plugin-oriented splitting support for MP3 via libmad, Ogg Vorbis via libvorbis, and FLAC.

How it is used

The project history includes releases that expanded beyond the original MP3/Ogg niche. The homepage lists FLAC support with the 0.9.0 and 2.6 releases in 2013 and bit-reservoir handling for gapless playback in 2014 releases. A GitHub mirror notes migration from the original SourceForge project in 2020. In package managers, mp3splt is the user-facing CLI while libmp3splt is often packaged separately as the shared splitting library, which matches the project's own split between application, library, and GTK frontend.
