I know that this isn't really the right place to ask, but I know there have been past posts about itunes.
Can someone tell me if it is possible to split tracks up, for example if you have a whole symphony that has listed itself as one track, are you able to split it up into the relevant movements?
Thanks Studioline

Does that happen?? Only reason to ask is that they sell tracks so it's in their best interest to split up the tracks to sell seperate files.
I could see something like the Copland Concerto being 1 track, but a Symphony??
Simple answer is no, it's not allowed by the program.
Work around is you can burn the track to CD, then insert the CD into your computer while holding down the shift key. Hold the key for about 15 seconds. Then you can extract the CD track and convert it into a wav file which you can edit the movements, etc
If you don't hold down the shift key the computer won't see the CD as itunes encodes it that way.
This info may not be allowed here so I won't be surprised if Mark edits the posting - I have no problem with that.

To split a song, select the track from your library or playlist that its in. Right click, get info, option, and adjust the start/stop time. Now, when you play the song it will only play back what was within the start/stop time that you specified. To create a new track, go to the advanced menu and click "convert selection to ACC" and when it is finished, the new file will be in your library under the same name as the original. You will probably want to rename the segment. Then go back to the original track, and delete those start/stop times and it will play the whole piece again.
It might take a little tweeking to get the right start/stop times, but the process is pretty simple.
All of this info should be in the help files, so you can refer to that if what I said isn't clear.

If you already have the file in your computer as aac, there is a button in itunes that will allow you to convert it to mp3. Then go on www.download.com or some other software sight and download either a freeware or shareware audio conversion tool. Convert that mp3 to wav (most audio conversion tools aren't compatible with aac so I simply converted it first). When it's in a wav format, you can cut sections out of the beginning and end. So cut everything after the first movement, click "save as" under the file menu, and save it as a wav labeled "____Mov1". Then convert BACK to mp3 with conversion tool, and finally to aac via itunes. Repeat the process for the other movements, cutting out what you don't want.
I KNOW this method works because I've done it before to cut and splice different pieces of tracks together (for instance cutting down a 13 minute recording into a 30 second 'sampling' for someone to hear certain parts of it).
