## Overview

This tool splits audio files into separate segments at specified timestamps. Upload an audio file and provide comma-separated timestamps in hh:mm:ss[.ms] format to create individual clips.

## Inputs

- **Audio File** (file): Select an audio file
- **Timestamps (comma-separated, hh:mm:ss\[.ms\])** (text): e.g., 00:00:10,00:00:30,00:01:00

## When to use

- When you need to extract specific sections from a long audio recording.
- For dividing podcast episodes into chapters or segments based on time markers.
- To create individual tracks from a continuous audio file like a live concert recording.

## How it works

- Upload your audio file in a supported format (e.g., MP3, WAV).
- Enter the split points as comma-separated timestamps in hh:mm:ss\[.ms\] format.
- The tool processes the audio and generates separate files for each segment.
- Download the resulting audio files for use in editing or sharing.

## Use cases

- Podcast editing: Split a long interview into segments for easier post-production.
- Music production: Divide a live recording into individual song tracks.
- Audiobook creation: Segment chapters based on time markers for navigation.
