A useful tool for splitting mp3 music files on Linux is mp3splt. To install it on Ubuntu or Debian based distributions, type:
$ sudo aptitude install mp3splt
Here’s an example of using it to split a collection of large mp3 files into 11 minute chunks; the -a option automatically finds silences near the 11 minute mark to split on:
for i in ../origs/* ; do mp3splt -a -t 11.00 ./${i} ; done
