Hi,

Not sure what you call "specified location", is that at certain time?
the sox (from the ports) is your friend. If you want to automatically
detect the blank in between the songs, then I have no answer.

I use sox to split 2.5 hours mp3 into one hour chunks because that
stupid mp3 reader does not save the hour position, only the minute
position: dont buy Philips mp3 :)
