I am seeking guidance on how to separate an MP3 file into individual tracks on my Mac. Essentially, I am looking for a way to divide the MP3 file into multiple smaller files, each representing a distinct track. I am open to using different software or tools, as long as they are compatible with Mac operating systems.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can split an MP3 file into tracks on Mac? Thank you in advance for your help.
You can find a couple of popular audio editing and cutting software from this review, a latest one from 2023.
Taking Adobe Audition for example, you can easily split an MP3 file into multiple tracks. First, open the MP3 file in Adobe Audition.
Then, use the 'Waveform Editor' to visually navigate through the audio file. You can identify the different tracks or sections by looking at the waveform and listening to the file.
Once you've identified the boundaries of each track, you can use the 'Split' tool or the 'Razor' tool to cut the file at these points. After splitting the file, select each individual section and export it as a separate MP3 file using the 'File > Export > File...' option.
Adobe Audition provides a robust set of tools for precise editing and adjustments, making it a great choice for more advanced users.

I should mention one more thing: The new track created at step 2 will show in your Music library with the same name as the full track, but can be distinguished by its shorter time duration. Once you find it, use Get Info, Details tab, to give it the new name that you want.
Hi everyone, my problem is not solved, I need your help.
Hi Jenney,
if you want to do it only using Music, below are the steps.
This will create a new track with just the section you chose. You can now go back to the full track and set new Start and Stop times for the next sub-track, or go back to the defaults if you are done.
(Make a backup copy of the full MP3 before you start, just in case.)
(At step 2, if you see "Create AAC Version" instead of "Create MP3 Version," adjust in the Import settings.)
Jenney,
I am not sure exactly what you are starting with, but if audio quality is a concern, and if you are open to using tools outside of iTunes/Music, you can investigate one of the available MP3 splitter tools (sorry, I don't have one to recommend), or even a full-blown audio editor such as Audacity or GarageBand.
June 2024 Quicktime won't load. Called Apple. They say it is no longer supported. Audacity wouldn't convert mp4 with an accompany MPEG file. I don't have Garage Band on my 2023 Mac. It's big and I don't want to load it and learn it to simply split a file and to trim a file. I don't own Adobe Audition. I will look for a non-Apple solution
Each time I save the file as an MP3, there is a potential loss of audio quality due to compression. This means that the more tracks I separate, the more chances of quality degradation.
