Slice'n'Splice
$25 - SadMan Software

Picture a scenario...

You've spent a substantial part of the day down-loading the latest, fastest, bestest shoot-em-up game demo. And of course, you're not stupid, so you did this at work using the fast company internet connection. But you wouldn't dare actually play the thing at work, far too risky, you don't want to get fired after all. But it's 56 MB, and the only way to get it home is to copy it onto 41 floppy disks.

Oh well. You spend eons zipping it onto a huge pile of floppies and eagerly take them home. You start unpacking them. It takes an age, but you're so looking forward to the game. All is going fine, but then disaster strikes - the fortieth floppy is duff. You can't read from it. You realise, with mounting dismay, that you'll have to create the whole zip set again. All 41 floppies of it. Unlikely? A tall story you think? Well it happened to me. Really, it did.

Enter Slice'n'Splice. It slices huge files into floppy (or any other) size chunks, and then splices them back together again. Each chunk can be copied to a floppy independently of the rest. Once you have all the chunks where you want them, simply run Slice'n'Splice again (or run the optionally generated MS-DOS .BAT file) to splice the chunks back into the original file. If a floppy fails and a chunk is corrupted, then first of all Slice'n'Splice will detect this and warn you about it, and secondly, you only need to recopy that one bad chunk. Not the whole set.

You can even create a shortcut to Slice'n'Splice in the SendTo directory. Then simply right-click on a file, select Send To from the pop-up menu, then select Slice'n'Splice. Easy.

Slice Audio File Splitter
$0 - NCH Swift Sound Software

This audio file splitter that is designed to take mp3 files and cut them into either a set number of files or files of a set duration. Slice can also detect a specified amount of silence and split the file at these points. This is useful where you have many songs in one mp3 (for example an entire CD in one file) and need to split them up into individual tracks.

There are three basic slicing operations that can be carried out: Slice into x many files (slice one 10MB mp3 into two 5MB files). Slice into files of x duration where duration equals HH:MM:SS (split one 10 minute track into two 5 minute tracks). Slice into individual tracks using silence detection.

Features:

~ Several ways to manipulate mp3 files (by number of files, duration or silence detection).
~ Split multiple files at the same time.
~ MPEG Layer-3 encoder supports constant or variable bit rates from 8 to 320kbps with optional error correction and stereo modes.
~ Drag and dropping of mp3 files into application fully supported.
~ Optimized CPU usage and efficient code for fastest conversion times.
~ Settings are stored on program exit.
~ Slice option added to Windows right-click menu.
