List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Kerry suggested that Janina consider my wav file editor to split her big CD image into separate tracks, but I am dubious it will do the trick unaided - it relies on first pulling everything into memory - virtual memory - i.e. ram plus swap space - and I doubt if Janina's system has enough for that. Worse, if you want to split such an image into separate parts, my editor does that in memory too, so you need twice the memory that the image alone requires. If it were my problem, I would use the 'dd' command to (1) discard the 44 byte riff header, (2) divide the resulting ".raw" file into parts sufficiently small to permit the wave editor to deal with them, and (3) explore each part looking for track boundaries, finally (4) creating individual .wav files for each track. That makes Kerry's suggestion of getting the CD back and doing it over again a mighty attractive alternative! But it could be done the hard way.
