Hammer Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 When I add a MP3 file to Slice, it reports the file size as a negative number and won't slice them. This only happens on about 20% of the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liesje Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I just joined the forum to look into this problem. I've used Slice for a few years now and love it but just ran into this problem. I have a large file, a long audiobook, I like to slice into 5 minute segments so if I fall asleep or accidentally advance a track I don't have to FF through an hour long track (or in this case, the entire book). The file is an mp3 and I kept getting an error no matter what option for slicing I choose. I see the length shows a negative number though the properties of the file show the correct length. I re-encoded the file, even chose a lower bitrate to create a whole new file and smaller size but this new file does the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FjoldFjar Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hi Liesje, May be that you found a solution, but I found this forum, and your question, yesterday while searching for an answer to the same problem. I was able to split the audiobook file (14+ hours, nearly 500MB) into two mp3 files by using the free audio editing program Audacity. When I opened the resulting files in Slice, each showed a positive number for "length." Slice then had no trouble splitting them into as many tracks as I wished. I hope that it works for you as well.
