I assume you mean split into left and right channels separately . Double-click on the top and bottom of the displayed waveform in turn to highliht each channel, and drag it onto an empty bit of SF window. A new mono file will be created for each.

If you want to separate out the individual musical components of an MP3, forget it. They are not encoded separately, ie, is a whole stereo mix only.

thanks for replying, but maybe I'm not wording the question right. I have a mix that I recorded and I want to put song breaks in it for when I burn it to cd.

You need to load the MP3 into SF, split off the tracks into separate files, then burn them one at a time.

Or do them in CDA or Vegas in DAO mode, importing the whole MP3 and placing track markers at the appropriate points.

ok, that's what I ended up doing. I was just wondering if there was a single command to do that.

thanks for the help.
