Are you saying you have FLAC files that are, say, 50 mins long, and that you want to add 'chapters' for want of a better word, to break them into smaller parts?

Is this to aid navigation, or playback, so that you can skip to a particular section?

If so, you can actually do this in iTunes, but it is a little convoluted, but if you were only doing it a few times or so it wouldn't be too bad.

Sorry - very long delay between your post and this reply! Work and other things have been distracting me.

Actually the FLAC files could be several hours long, which is part of the problem. I have some which are a few hours long, and I've tried (and failed) to generate files which would have been perhaps 10 hours long. The reason is that I have tried to record unattended, when I might have been out for at least five hours. I didn't particularly want to do this, but it seemed the only way to (try to) get the material, not having software which could be configured and scheduled to turn on/off at the appropriate times.

It's not immediately high priority, though it would be good to know how to split long FLAC or ALAC files - preferably without having to spend a lot on software. I always try free software first!

It wouldn't be necessary to do this too often, though I'd hope it wouldn't take more than (say) 15 mins per large file, or maybe it could be done as a batch process so that I wouldn't have to monitor it.
