Hi!
After leaving Micro$ucks XP Pro for Suse 9.3 I've found myself left with several pieces of audio which I had linked together using 'Albumwrapper'. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a program which will liberate the separate tracks. I have tried the Linux version of 'Albawrapper', but that doesn't seem to work. Although it installs perfectly, after that it seeems to vansish. As it doesn't show itself on any of the menus I have been attempting to use it via the 'run command', though it seems to be recognised, nothing actually happens. I have also tried right clicking on these audio files, but still haven't found a way to make this work. No matter what I 'google' I can't seem to find another alternative. Besides the comparatively laborious task of using 'Audacity' does anyone have any ideas please?

I don't know this program, but it sounds like it is a command line application? Open up a terminal/console and try the command with or without the "--help" option. My guess is you would have to call it from a terminal like this: "name-of-command name-of-wrapped-mp3.mp3" -- maybe with additional options to specify that you want to split or to specify the output path.

I've just made a dumb mistake, the program is actually called: Alba extractor.
However, when I attempt to open it with the command line it states: Error while loading shared libraries: libpng.so.2 cannot open shared object file:no such file or directory.
When I then ask for help regarding the program it returns the same answer.
I've checked in Yast and the program is recognised there. Odd?

Which version did you try? I downloaded the precompiled dev version for Linux from http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ease_id=145713 and it works here without a problem. At least the program starts, I have no wrapped mp3 file to test if it splits the file right.

The version I've tried is: 0-3-2.386.rpm.

Just download the dev-bin-version to any folder, extract it (tar xzvf albaextractor-0.4-dev.bin.tar.gz) and start albaextractor-0.4-dev/albaextractor. After that you could move the folder or delete it ...

I don't have libpng.so.2 installed, like you, but the mentioned binary package works fine with my libpng.so.3 (it's libpng-1.2.8).

This is a really stubborn one that just doesn't want to work. I think I'll have to learn to live with it. All I can do (I think) is to keep on going through the same things and hoping. Not that it's absolutely imperative. Thank you for your help.
