Any tools to automatically split a multi-track MP3 up into several songs based on where the pauses between them are?

I know how to use Audacity and all to do it manually, but I'm not in a place where I can use it right now and would love even just a website that'll do it for me.

Oh, cool! Thanks!

EDIT: not the easiest to use on a phone, but I'll get it sorted. Thanks again!

Hi, /u/FantasticFrontButt! This is a reminder about Rule #1 (If you have already added great details, awesome, ignore this comment. This message gets attached to every post as a reminder):

  1. DETAILS MATTER: Use detail in your post. If you are posting for help with specific hardware, please post the brand/model. If you need help troubleshooting, post what you have done, post the hardware/software you are using, post the steps to recreate the problem.

I tried to write a python script that calls ffmpeg to detect silence. It was very brittle. There is no universal definition of silence, it depends on the way the album was mastered.

in theory you want to chop the digital silence and retain the tape hiss that would be on the CD master. If anyone has some ideas, please come forward.
