thanks

your problem is fundamentally flawed.
mp3 does not allow you to just.. chop things in half and get away with it like you can with a wav file. mp3 is encoded.. all the little bits are related. with that said your splitting using Peak is re-encoding that mp3 already. the mp3 has to be decoded, then reencoded after being split up into your parts. just the way it is man. mp3 doesn't allow you to just edit or chop, it has to be converted to wav, then reencoded back.

I know that I make custom ringtones for my Motorola Razr to save money instead of downloading them for $2.49 a piece from Cingular by opening the file in Quicktime Pro then copying the part of the file that I want to a new Quicktime player window and save it. After that I open up the Quicktime Music file in iTunes and convert it to mp3... then send it via bluetooth to my Razr...
Lemme know if that helps...
